There are lots of ways they get passed CAPTCHA. It is a pain. I have had very good success with both reCAPTCHA and Mollom.

I have several drupal sites and I constantly get barraged with requests for accounts.  I have Image CAPTCHA setup on all these sites and still I'm still getting 20 requests a day, mostly from China.  Anyone able to share what these people/automatons are trying to do?  How are they getting through CAPTCHA?  How can I stop them?  I am running a pretty old version of Drupal on a couple of sites, but even with almost current versions they flood in. 

Thanks for any help you can offer.
