My server was being hit so hard with spam bots, I had to shut my directories down. Is it possible that we can integrate strong capcha as found here : http://recaptcha.net/whyrecaptcha.html

I have yet to see a spam bot break the existing capatcha. I'm getting zero spam emails through my many, many forms. So at this point I see no reason to waste time on yet another captcha. Feel free to demonstrate to me that you actually have the capatcha on, and that you have image_rotate enabled on your server's GD version (it's much weaker if that function is missing, as it is on perhaps 1% of hosts for some reason), and that you actually got emails rather than just hammered by web traffic of unsuccessful attempts, and I'll reconsider. With no URL provided I have to assume that at least one of those conditions is not met.
