Which reminds me. One odd issue I've had to debug with Rosetta Code
was that our ReCAPTCHAs would fail consistently for some people. It
turns out that our API key has a word in it that tends to show up in
filter lists, and a couple of people who go through filtering proxies
have had AJAX queries against api.recaptcha.net subsequently blocked.

Currently, any anonymous edit on rosettacode.org's wiki pop up a
CAPTCHA, as will account creation. Does your hosted Barracuda solution
prevent you from getting through those?
