Hi
In PHP BB2 the CAPTCHA system has been proven vulnerable to automated registrations. In the other hand PHP BB3 has improved its anti-spam options available to forum administrators which include a new CAPTCHA system, suspensions, user logging and other various features. So my suggestion is to update to PHP BB3.
The best method to Spam prevention in PHP BB3 is to use:
 
1. Q&A (question-answer) challenge which is actually introduced into PHP BB 3.0.6.
2. Blocking UTC-12 Registrations.
3. Downloadable CAPTCHA Plugins.
4. Newly Registered Users Group.
5. Custom Profile Fields.
6. Admin Activation.
7. Broken Visual CAPTCHA Plugins.
