No wonder the phpBB Captcha got broken with such an awesome attempt as this
And if you're wondering, yes, you can just copy and paste the text.

Im glad all the other open source protects are substantially better than that
When I saw it, I just thought it was broken and there was no way in hell that was just going to work, but it did! No email activation either.
Very interesting to know.

That's not the phpbb captcha. And the VB captcha has been botted too. The only reason mybb hasn't been botted is because it's not popular enough for spammers to care.
I know it's not the actual captcha, but it appeared where the captcha is meant to be with all the qualities associated with it.

lol!, I'd never create something to destroy something else. Why would I? What did PHPBB ever do to me? On second thought....
their support team deleted every post I made because of some roomer; they thought I was on PHP nuke and therefore didn't want to provide me support. Anyway back to topic.

Everyones forgetting; to kill a bot requires a bot. If their is a way to find out where the bot is coming from as in: IP; than creating a bot to destroy the bot that destroyed the CAPTCHA is easy. However, you need to know what the bot is called. An easier alternative, just edit the robots file and block the registration directory.
