SIMPLER than parsing the links to identify if it's a forum URL. Besides, it's not only the internal URLs that suffer.
I really HATE the idea of treating every newbie as if they are a bot.
So, this links thing is a really BAD IDEA from the start. It's not a solution to the bot problem.

as i mentioned is some other thread recently, one can simply install small snippet (i used to call it "enhanced captcha"), so that bots are unable to even register.
those captchas are too hard for AI, and captcha breakers just suck and leave it alone
p.s. the snippet is free for sure, and could be easily found on google.
