Awesome Captcha!!

Shit, I forgot to screenshoot it, but basically as I logged onto the forums it asked me for a captcha test (I forgot why, but it's important I am sure), and it gave me this really awesome image puzzle to solve. And it was all like fancy and fairly alrge, java/flash stuff or something.

Maybe ya'll can see them too.

But anyway, this brought me to say that it seems Captcha's are evolving into cute stuff, the likes of which bots can most certainly not crack, and that are entertaining to do. Or do you feel the extra time they may require is a problem to the whole "getting done with business" thing?

You're an idiot.

Edit: Because you forgot to screenshot.

An idiot. (Edit: That forgot to screenshot.)

And if you don't mind, could you remove the spam from the Shiny Update. Thanks.

Those old capthas were the most annoying thing on earth. I could never get the letters right. Thank God things are changing now.

Well that kind of depends on the site and the way that they looked really.

I for one nearly never had issues with them, strangely enough. I almost always got them right on the first time.

It's just recently that I came across ones that looked like fucking ink blobs.

And some just use shitty or alternating font in combination with colours, so you can't make head or tails of some letters. Ofc, it was annoying when stupid effects made you overlook letters altogether as well.

But it was especially funny when you came across symbolic Captcha's, lol.

Yeah, I like this new way. I, also, had a problem with getting the letters right. But this image thing...is good.

I've solved those puzzle ones before but I'd much rather solve the text ones.
