And there you have it...

The million dollar questions, valid ones for a long time now.

If robots are meant to pass as registered members in order to spam, putting all the captcha/not-a-robot test  features at registration should secure it all for good.

Maybe things are not that simple ?...

I can only spam this thread so much, I can't think of anything to add to this discussion. I've made photoshops, spelled the alphabet backwards, written book-long essays on why I hate cappachacha, what more do I need to do to be accepted into the robot community?

Why not though? Shouldn't a site admin/owner (of any site, not just this one) be more involved?

Not pissed off, just obviously frustrated enough to call it a day here since January.

You can read his comments about the site, in the first paragraph of his final review.  John was the first guy on PA to write to me as a friend when I started here.  He was a great ambassador for the site.

^Agreed. I remember a time, sometime before the captcha's, when the site was hardly reachable.

He was last seen here on 19 January, more than 9 weeks before those CrAPTCHA's appeared.



Yes, but one of his last statements was about how he "couldn't post or do anything here" (paraphrasing) because he kept getting error messages on everything he tried. 

Capthchas aren't the only frustration.  The site has performed like sh*t for a while before them.
