Don't add to my problems by pretending my past views are still held in the present. I do not have any patience for that. Feel free to ask me what I think now.

Since this is an open source board, the spammers will be able to examine the source code for exploits. I'm sure they will be able to find a way to fire a request at the server that fools it into thinking that they have passed the captcha and question so that it creates an account.
Another request will then be sent, fooling the server into thinking that their email address has been validated so that they can post.
captcha's are impossible to ocr accurately, but there is always another way around it

My favorite is the Google Bot because I just like the sound of it. Makes me think of a robot sitting at a computer being confused as hell about all of this "retro gaming" nonsense.
