yah I'm probably spoiled? I always buy the best linux servers possible with all the toys loaded for my customers which I host. Just check with the server farm people and they said I have both GD 2 and Exif installed in php. Lucky me!
I think captcha is a necessity and as you see most major corporations have gone to it so I think it will be a ram roded to the consumer and become a industry standard.
Don't get me wrong, I like XOOPS cms a lot and wish to continue its development mostly in my own interest since I develop web sites for companies. I found a lot of the other cms programs lacking the proper framework leaving a lot of desired modules. TYPO3 which I also use is not consumer friendly and only used when client request it. I really like the mastop_publish. Nice module however I'm rewriting it to tie into the selected theme, some clerical errors, and adding/upgrading file handling user interfaces.
All in all I'm saying that XOOPS needs more control on register.php function as per most of my clients desire to have access control with payment options available. From what I've seen most attempts so far have been poor hack jobs or required some type of payment for a simple paypal postback which is easily done with a few lines of code (shameless to charge for a module/payment gateways when its open source!).
Major key components I see to make XOOPS a do all CMS are:
1-WYSIWYG included in system block editor
2-Do all publisher- like mastop_publisher
3-register signup-free, paid, or turn it off..
4-ticket contact system like osticket
5-Captcha option off/on for register, contact ect....

make sure you put it in the right paths and chmod the one directory in uploads you need.
Hmm which directory and the GD2 lib is confusing on the site? Why not just include in the module?
Anyhow its my opinion that this as well as a subscription type of user.php needs to be incorporated in XOOPS system module as well as this captcha for all contact, signup or registration forms as well as the ability to turn the register.php off.
I'm working on the user.php to allow free membership, paid or turn it off. I haven't had time with all this to worry about captcha sytem wide but I guess I will have to address it in the future...
Why are you using GD2 lib instead of Exif Functions?
