Alright since you all complained I dropped the security image and am trying bad behavior and akismet. However last night I tried to login to my admin panel and found I was banned. After doing some checking it turned out if you pretend to be googlebot bad behavior bans you. Pretty goofy IMHO, cause I browse as Googlebot all the time.

    Perhaps I don’t understand everyones complaint but I thought it was your fonts were too wacky.

    Maybe try captcha with out the crazy fonts ?

    it was arial, and I dialed the curves, angles, and waviness way down. I really dislike the phone home part about akismit but it’s caught everything so far.
