    I think they are great in that they help destroy my eye sight.

    the ones that are only 4-6 are really just lame IMO :rolleyes:

    myspace just upgraded theirs....it's 54% less annoying now!

    They are annoying to normal users, and get bypassed by bots. So screw them. At SGN(links directly to the anti-bot feature) we went with a completely different approach. It's much easier for humans, and I've yet to see a bot get past it.

    I hate CAPTCHA's, and they are becoming less and less effective so whats the point.

    Thats an nice idea you've got there. I use a question and answer technique on my site though which works well also. But yours is more interesting.

    Sometimes the Os and 0s are impossible to distinguish. Some on DP's tool are damn near impossible to figure out.
