Sorry for the Bots

Peeps,

Apparently we had a flaw in our registration system, a kinda big flaw.
Bots could registre for free without a verification system once they could guess the CAPTCHA image.

We have changed this, also added a simple age question to it and made the CAPTCHA image a bit worse to read.

We hope we stopped the bot registration process now. Otherwise we will be adding other questions to the registration form.

CAPTCHA, which stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart, is a technique adopted by Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft (News - Alert) among other service providers to prevent automated software programs from posing as humans and signing up for new accounts.It presents text that is easy for humans to comprehend but difficult for automated programs and as a result protects Web sites from bots. The first CAPTCHA was invented at the Carnegie Mellon University to be used by Yahoo. CAPTCHAs have other applications like preserving the authenticity in online polls, preventing comment spam in blogs and preventing dictionary attacks in password systems among others.

P.S.
Rsabatino, gimme a few prises of those matrasses.
