A new topic, 'What to do about spam? Should we switch forum software?', has been made on a board you are watching.

The text of the topic is shown below:
The spam problem has been getting worse lately, and I've been unable to tide it. I have recaptcha, akismet and requiring an email activiation configured, but there is still a ton. I think the biggest issue is that the current forum software (SMF 1.1.x) does not support per-message moderation, which makes akismet not able to hide spam messages as well and/or not allow requiring admin moderation of forum posts for the first 3 or so. SMF 2.0 which is currently at RC4 does support better spam management including post moderation which should solve our issues, but I would like to wait until they get to 2.0.
Otherwise, are there suggestions for other forum software? It would need to be something free. Google groups has been put forward, I haven't used it much but at first glance it seems fairly un-featured with a poor UI, but maybe it is enough. Anyone have an opinion on waiting for SMF 2.0 vs google groups vs somethign else?
