Desperate for a spam blocking/robot proof site.

I've blocked 79 IP adresses but I still keep getting spam from the same people.

Is there way to stop this?

I want to do a image confirmation, but I can't do ASP.NET.

Is there any alternatives?

Just out of curiosity, why no ASP.NET? I'm not able to help with ASP really.

A CAPTCHA is a good way of checking if people are human, here are some other good tips:
- Don't put your email up, have a contact us form.
- Use CAPTCHA (those annoying images where you need to put the letters in)
- Use time checkers (Compare when the page was opened to when it was sent)
- Use spam assassin to scan emails going in and out
- Get creative, if you come up with an original way you could make a lot of money selling it!

In general blocking IP's tends to not work, people just use proxy's or change there IP. Right now I use generally quite good security (I feel at least) but my inbox still gets bummed every 3-5 hours, end of the day spam has become a way of life.
