I don't have any forms available to anonymous users, except for user login, register, and PWD reset, and a Views search form. Is Antibot still worth using if just for these elements? This is a "newbie" question, but I'm assuming bots don't create accounts then attempt to attack your forms as an authenticated user?

Side note: 0 issues/0 bugs. Makes me feel guilty for posting this "issue." :)

There's a "Support request" issue type for a reason! Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have.

I would suggest using it for at least your anonymous-facing forms. User login/register/pw forms are important and bots will be hitting them all day if they are not protected. You could end up with a bunch of dummy accounts. Some bots may also be attempting to guess user account credentials. There's no reason to expose your site to that. This module is incredibly light-weight so there's really no harm is adding it to your site. You can also configure it to only show up on those user forms, if you don't want to use them for everything.

Feel free to re-open this with any questions you have.

16 hour response time!?! There's no better feeling than to have your issue addressed in under a day! THANK YOU! Additionally, customer service is key for Drupal modules. I have zero concerns, now, putting this on my site since your exceptionally responsive!
