Spam FREE User Friendly - Best Plugin Yet

Goodbye Captcha
I put to the test a plugin called "Goodbye Captcha".
At first I found it a little skeptical because of the claims. There is no images or words that needs to be typed when users visit your website. No box to check completely hassle free. Kinda like magic as they actually say in the description. Setup is as basic as downloading and activating it.
((((REMEMBER TO BACKUP BEFORE TESTING PLUGINS))))

Some people will even create a sub-domain for testing themes and plugins.

So, I gave it a try! They explain how you should test everything out after you install by logging out of your website and leaving a comment and signing up.
After doing this, it was easy to sign up and as they said, no captcha. Just fill in my information and submit. BUT, Was i actually protected from Spam? Yes actually! I'm completely blown away with this app. I was getting member spam everyday. Not so much comment spam, but LOADS of spam member signups. (I left user registration open for people who want to contribute)
The only other app I use for spam is Akismet. Using both of these have stopped spam user signups and spam comments "Magically".
Hope this plugin can help others like it did for me,
Cheers!
