As i read in an early post about it, I'm not sure that the captcha is a good defence against bots.

Something like Saptcha http://dmytry.pandromeda.com/texts/captcha_and_saptcha.html would be a decent alternative. This way, like Captcha the user simply answers an easy question, but with Saptcha it is text based but still very easy. A question like “Does a cat or a dog bark?” would be easy enough for users to answer, and is all text. If spambots can take the text from a question and paste it in the box until they get it right then ask a common question that the answer to doesn’t appear on the page. Possibly something like, ”
What day of the week follows Thursday?” When it gets to the point where spambots can figure these out I’m sure they’ll also be able to figure out the text in a captcha anyway.
