They have a built in captcha I think. We have it here at least, so I'm sure it's easy to get or install. Do you have the latest version of the forum software?

I have captcha and the latest version, but it looks that this doesn't help

Why not? Bots can't fill in captchas.

It doesn't sound like bots creating accounts to me. Sounds more like real people. Which could mean they're being paid to spam your forums or your forum has been listed by one of the thousands of places out there that tell folks where they can go to spam away without risk of reprisal.
If it's all (relatively) new users doing the spamming you could create a mod to look for links in posts of users with fewer than X number of posts, then automatically hide them.
You and/or your forum staff would still have to deal with 'em, but at least your users wouldn't.
