How hard will it be to implement a captcha plugin like this on MYBB ?

When used on phpBB it's so awesome !!! If it is available on MyBB that would be great.

Is somebody willing to port it ?

Thanks,

We have a reCAPTCHA plugin which I'm sure is a lot better at doing its job that the one you linked too.
If you would like feel free to PM me to make a custom/paid plugin for you.
use this one

but take note of my review comments. simple fix, and it works well
I remember someone was making a cool one. No idea what this is since it has no screenshot.

This captcha requires JavaScript / jQuery (which can conflict with other JS libraries) and a mouse, so it won't work everywhere. And even without looking at the code I can tell that it can be broken by bots easily; since at least in the demo you linked to, it is not possible to drag the wrong icon into the circle. So that means the code and therefore the machine knows which is the correct answer (or rather, there is only one answer possible). And even if it were coded properly, and the bot had to guess the correct answer, it would have a 1 out of 5 chance to be correct, which is not anywhere near good enough.

So the only hope for this captcha is that spammers won't bother to teach their bots to break it and nobody attacks your site specifically. Captcha wise that's about as effective as an input box "Are you human? Type YES." or similar such.

Fancy looks alone do not make a good captcha, unfortunately.

I agree.. So atleast a simple math or custom question captcha ?
That would be better without any conflicts !!!
You could bet Frostschutz to finish this captcha if Recaptcha or the regular one isn't good enough
