    OK, so the vast majority of you that are going read this, well it doesn't really matter to you...

    BUT..stick with me here, cause I think this is really nifty and kinda cool too.

    When you registered over the past close to 3.5 years you had to use the ugly, hard to read and rather annoying CAPTCHA block or Solve Media block put in place so that we know for the most part you are a human and not a bot trying to reach your swarmy spammy self on us. Look below, isn't that just a royal PITA.

    Being M/A is fun, as noted by no less than the notable Dave.0 and friendly too! By gosh, we don't berate new members with "Use the Search!" like some other less friendly forums out there. There is this new method that simply wants to know. Are You a Human?. So simple in fact their URL is AreYouAHuman.com. How eloquent.

    Their product is called Play Thru, something the leaf peepers better let us MINIs do!

    I digress...Play Thru is a small animated game. Go head...go here Try PlayThru | Are You a Human and try it.

    I sure do think that is a heck of a lot more civilized than trying to figure out what those darn letters are. Hope all our new members from this point on think so too.

    Thats cool and Yay I am human!

    Yes, you are a human!
    Congratulations, human! We've known robots and you, sir or madam, are no robot. We're proud to recognize you as a member of the human race.

    Great idea, well done Nathan. :Thumbsup:

    I'll pass on the trial though...I've been accused in the past of being something other than human, don't need any additional confirmation. :D

    Yes, much better!

    I tend to fail at Captcha, each time giving me the feeling like I'm one more step toward old-fartdom since I can't read the #$#$! thing.

    For yucks I wrote to them about the possibility of creating something animated with a MINI theme for user here on M/A.

    There are 2500 reasons that will not happen...

    Oh well.
