Anyone have any good/easy HTML code for a web page
guestbook with some type of human verification?
My guestbook is getting slammed with junk from those
stupid webot things.

Almost nobody uses a guestbook on their websites any more... kind of a 90s thing. Part of the reason is exactly what you are experiencing.

When I design professional websites.. I have to include a custom human code entry. The Captcha technology (used on Ebay, Yahoo etc ) can even be easily broken.. but to date.. a simple human thinking question kills them every time.
It's a simple verification that a human reading/thinking and entering in the correct data to send the form. It can be as simple as "What is the color of my logo?" and give a pull down set of choices. If the correct answer isn't inserted then it will alert the user that they are attempting to send Spam etc. and kill the transaction. Never put number calculations as the bots can figure that out. ( Never ask what 4+1 equals? etc )
I also recommended the similar registration auth code for this very Jude2 website. It does a similar thing and stops THOUSANDS of bogus entries and users. Saving time and money.
