Rick, About 99.9 percent sure you are right. The bots probably scraped before you added the Captcha field and when they make a run at your bulletin board, they only have the old list of fields.
You might want to set a default 'value=""' for your captcha_key input, though just in case it's a browser issue. I noticed you don't have a value attribute on that field.
