Is it me, or are the Captcha's for registering here *EXTREMELY* hard to read? I had to go 2 to 3 times through it since I couldn't tell what letters it was trying to show me. Sorry if this is duplicated elsewhere, it's just something I felt I needed to say.

Well, do be honest, I didn't ever have to read a captcha to register here (at the time they weren't used). The point is for them to be hard to read, but exponentially harder for a computer to interpret.

You only have to do it once, so don't worry about it =P.

I don't remember having one of them, though I didnt sign up that long ago and could be wrong.

Is it as bad as those Rapidshare ones with the dogs?

Wow, things have changed. I had a really simple one when I registered (if I remember right).

I don't even remember entering any captcha. Either it was really easy to read, or there wasn't any.

It's been ages since I signed up too and I can't remember encountering the Captcha process, if that was there in 2006. If it wasn't there back then and it is here now, it's probably been implented to help keep spambots at bay.

These are good things.

The harder the better, although the rapidshare ones take the cookie.
