Hey guys,
Prior to installing anti-splog I had taken many measures to prevent splogs. One being the ever popular renaming of wp-signup.php to something less obvious, in my case it's newacct.php throughout the site. Since the plugin renames wp-signup.php dynamically do I need to revert back to the old filename, wp-signup.php or should I keep it as is?

Thanks Aaron. I didn't think about that. Have you heard any feedback from other users who had implemented other measures (blocking IPs in .htaccess, D'Arcys .htaccess splog code, etc...) about being able to remove their earlier measures due to the success of anti-splog plugin? Or, should I keep those measures in place?

It will probably work, but you should revert them as spammers could still signup using your old file.

If it doesn't cause issues I don't see why not have multiple measures in place.
