If you're looking for a forum software that has accessible versions of this security feature, try using SMF (Small Machines Forums). I found them while trying out rockbox, and it instantly made those my favorite forums. I host websites. I plan to encourage my clients to drop VBulletin and phpbb and phpbb2 in favor of SMF simply because of accessibility.

i do not want to be rude, but changing that for a small majority is not as easy and convenient as it may seem. A think the only possible solution would be not to remove captcha, but to provide a sound option. So that this way it works out for everbody. But if you want to make a difference start an organization or something. Thats how captcha got started, people did something about it
