Bravo! Always a nice way to stop spammers and spam bots!

Good thing you used reCAPTCHA and not other captcha programs. Some of them are INSANELY difficult, even on the easiest setting.

Hopefully this will slow down, if not stop, the flow of spammers. Yay.

Right now I have actually three different systems to fight spammers, this is one of them. We shouldn't have a problem with spammers.

Anyone who wants cheap laughs, go try the reCATCHA at registration and choose the audio version. It was pretty funny because I had no idea what the guy was mumbling and it didn't help that there was a freaking dog barking in the background! Luckily there's the text version because I would never pass that audio version. :)
