Not sure about anyone else but this gave my server an internal 500 error after updating and my VPS CPUs are always at 100% when anything buddypress is loaded, the website calms down after a few mins and if I load anything from buddypress the CPU skyrockets again into a grinding hault!
There must be some dodgy SQL statements or something happening.

I dont see why it shouldn’t be server side, Ive tried both V3 and V2 Captcha using the plugin “Advanced noCaptcha & invisible Captcha Settings” as I can actually see the Captcha be added to the buddypress register page, but Im still getting 10-20 fake registrations a day!
what one do you recommend?

Hi @wackao I already have a captcha on my register page, which is why its confusing why I have so many bots, I just deleted 1000 groups!
