I have updated my captcha frog plugin to work with version 9.3. Took me staying up until 4am to get it working. I have done a complete rewrite on the way it interacts with the frog system. Also I have added in a little update that will tell you that you had failed in typing in the answer. It also uses Frogs built in observers, the plugin will call an event named 'spam_found' if the user fails in typing something in.
To use place this in your comment-form snippet some where in between the form tags(I personally do it right above the textarea). Oh also enable the plugin.
<?php captchaProxy::drawQuestion();?>
I really like how Frog version 9.3 handles everything in a cleaner manor making it easier to write plugins for. I really hope in future version we see more event usage, as that is where I feel the power of plugins will shine thur.

The biggest feature of it that it has removed, comments, files and other things from the core and moved them into plugins. That means I can crack open up the source of these files and use similar code in my own plugins. The licensing has also been changed(I've been thinking about forking it) to the AGPL.
I plan to be doing an update on my site hopefully soon. With the update I can hopefully get rid of this spam problem that I seem to have.
Edit:
So I am like almost all updated, it seems I can not get comments working with an updated version of frog. I have wrote out my Captcha class to work with frog 9.3, but it will not work on http://ajcates.com for some reason. Also in the back end admin interface, where it says comments, it just stays at none for some reason(even tho I manually set it to open in the db).

So here I am browsing around the web like I do everyday, and I run into a little open source project called Vanilla. Vanilla is a web based forum system, very similar to phpBB or vBulletin. It doesn't have all the bloat like the other two and handles things a lot smoother and cleaner. If you plan to start a forum, I highly suggest you use vanilla, it may seem almost to simple to use, but have no fear there are lots of add-ons for Vanilla to make it just as complex as phpBB or vBulletin.

Ok so this is kinda like a check in, but I found some of the best icons for free that I have ever seen on the internets don't be surprised if you start seeing them in my site. Click on the image to view these awesome icons.
I am also working on something that will put me on the map as an established web developer, something that no one has yet to do. I plan to give it away for free as well.
