Harry, I don't have any numbers for you, but I will say that my previous
employer's conversion rates did climb significantly when captchas were
removed.
I think the idea of captcha is great, but the implementation usually
stinks. Even the ReCaptcha's aren't very good, and those are the best
around, IMO.
Hard to make a slippery slope when it's covered in trees.

Does anyone have any stats on captchas and the impact they have on
conversion rates?
Marcelo Calbucci of Sampa.com reported that they have a 10% uplift in
conversion rates by removing captchas ( http://tinyurl.com/bqtdef ). Anyone
got any more figures like this?

Hi Harry,
Thanks for clarifying. In that case its a great idea. In my project blog
http://www.itsme.it/ well as of now its kinda institutional, but we are
trying to upgrade the website into a more interactive one, with a blog type
forum to encourage developer communities and interaction design community to
get together and discuss about interactive systems etc. Lets see how it
goes. We plan to get online in the month of march. And i think it will be
great to direct posts focusing on UX to the collaborative blog site you are
talking about.

Nikhil,
I agree, the quality of the discussions on the IxDA mailing list are
outstanding.
Just to clarify, this site would not have any formal affiliation with
IxDA. It will simply be a site somewhere else on the web where people can
add their rss feeds to a 'river of news'. I thought it might be useful to
newcomers to the field, people who aren't big RSS-heads, and so on.
Harry
