My forum did well for over 3 months, and then suddenly it says I had 40 members on my forum but most of them are bots. Plus, there seems to be a distinct lack of participation... How may I improve the situation?

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

This will give you all info you need but seems you need to look at your security, captcha doesnt work this includes default SMF captcha you need to create a pool of questions and set smf to ask 2 or 3, if you have say 15 questions in the pool SMF will select 2 or 3 random questions from the pool.   Make the questions specific to your forums topic.
