Yes, the ones that appear (briefly) on the forum evade the captcha.

Or do these guys have armies of 3rd world children online and pay them $0.0001 per successful captcha or something?
Not all human captcha breakers are paid - or
not in money, anyway.

Another dirty half dozen overnight - there seems to be a new trend of XXXXXXXCCC user names where X is a random number and C is a random character, but there doesn't seem to be anyway to trap for this using wild cards in the disallowed email admin panel, so we must just remain ever vigilant.

It is nice to find the night's catch all trussed-up, awaiting execution... and it does save us time and effort.

I'm still amazed that so many can automatically complete the captcha. Maybe it's time to switch to a new captcha system, or is that tightly integrated into the bbs?
edit: or (I have a short memory
) are they using human captcha monkeys?
