I don't understand your answer.

please give me more detail !

That page gives you more detail than I ever could.

Create an .htaccess file and use it to ban those addresses. But, be aware than banning an IP bans a LOT of computers.

Spam - my forum is flooded with spam, what can I do

Hi there

My hosting have 3 subdomains and also 3 domains parked on them,  but there is only one .htaccess file and content like this:

-------------Begin-------------
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^antiscam\.net$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.antiscam\.net$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/antiscam\.net\/antiscam" [R=301,L]

-------------End-------------

what can i do next ?

Depends what you mean by "Being attacked", really.

That behaviour does not look like conventional hack attempts, it looks like spam.
