Human verification every time I access the main forum page

[bluejay]

9 times out of 10, when I try to go to the main forum page, it sends me to this screen. It's been happening since I arrived at Korea a couple days ago. Is it the internet connection causing problems or is it the site thinking I'm a naughty bot?

There are several countries where the majority of spam and other attacks originate where I've set this up. These countries almost never have legitimate AA users (don't think we've ever had someone from India, for instance) so you're one of the first people to bring this up. 
 

If you have a static IP (or a relatively small range of IPs), I'd be glad to punch a hole in the firewall for you.

Sadly I have dynamic IP. I suppose I can live with this for a month. Thanks anyways!

Wouldn't it be possible to put a cookie on the computer, and if a such valid user cookie exists, the bot filter would not be required?

No, because this page pops up before the AtariAge server is even hit.
