Subject: Guests will need to enter a code to post now (CAPTCHA)

due to the amount of spam, a CAPTCH (those annoying number/letter things you see everywhere) is now required when signing up for an account or guest posting.  Regular members will not need to enter it.

If it doesn't stop spam, I'm sure it will make people want to join instead. Pain having to write that out after each post.  ::)
