I think some people don't fully understand how to keep bots out and let real people register or post. I have no idea what company makes Playstations. I know it's a game, but beyond that, it's obviously something that would keep me and many others from being able to participate on your forums and maybe learning more about a technology and product I might want to use.

I have a flooring forum. TheFloorPro.com. My question is an easy one that has reduced my spammers to zero and my registrations easy. The question? "What is this site about, Floors, or Ceilings?" Not only that, but you can misspell floors from here to the end of the ether and still get it right (okay, that might be an exaggeration, but you can make all the common misspellings of floors).

But you're right, this is one great modification. Prob'ly the best and most trouble free mods I have. Thanks to the author.
