What you do to prevent spambots?

we have a website that sometimes gets stuck because of spambots, we tried to block the ips of them but it's not a good idea because they could have a dynamic ip, do someone have a good way to stop them, we tried to use Dynamic IP Restricion that found in IIS but did not help too much.

Are you using a common white-label forum like PhpBB or Invision? If so, I suggest renaming the common pages as most bots just check to see if you have a page like "createThread.php" or "respond.php". Most aren't smart, and most won't bother to write a specific spam script for your site - they just spray and pray.
