Hey guys, just wanting to show off a few of my sites that I've worked on. This is both design a development, so tell me what you think?

Paste Code
Page Rank Checker
United States Name Quiz

I'm also working on a new version of my Free Image Hosting site, you can find the beta preview of that here: http://beta.imgbox.us/ (keep in mind, the black upload box is just an opacity overlay while I'm working on its cross-browser compatibility)

I also have a question for anyone who might have a good solution:
Paste Code seems to get 100's of (maybe botted) spam pastes a day. They're obvious spam, because they're linking to porn sites, or following a general pattern. They're easy enough to remove, and I could just create an algorithm to determine if these types of posts are being posted, but in theory, they could just change the style the posts are being created in, and I'd have to recreate it again and again.

What is a good way to stop spam on sites like that, without a CAPTCHA? I've been told I should consider generating the <textarea> with Javascript, but I don't really want to push Javascript on people, as it should be a service that works regardless (even though.. who doesn't have JavaScript enabled these days? :P)

Future development:
I plan to be rebuilding PasteCode to use a PHP based syntax highlighter, rather than the JavaScript highlighting it's using now. I'm also going to expand further on the public/private by making galleries available to public posts, so people can search around for potential solutions to problems they're having. I want to make it more than just a simple <textarea> that highlights code, but rather a full-fledged portal that you can collaborate on, use it for bug fixes, or whatever else might be good. Any suggestions are welcome.

Those are excellent tool sites. and good design too. I like the name the united states.
Some good sites. Are you trying to use the development of this websites as improving your skills or You have done this kind of sites that do 1 thing only, and do it good. and they get high traffic because of that. That is a pretty long type of site, but that is what just came to mind to name them.

You can try using Akismet to detect spam. Not sure how it would work with people posting code since it is mostly used on blogs and forums.

I actually just pushed up a new version of paste code, and it's now all sorts of obfuscated to help prevent spam. I'm just hoping it will be enough :)

Also, what do you guys think of the new version? It's a GIANT improvement over the previous.

Just to give you an idea of the spam I'm getting - Of the 12k pastes that existed, only about 300 appeared legitimate.

wtfismypagerank.com lol :D
