Hey Ohrer,
Just so you know, you're posting in a Amateur (ham) radio sub section with this question vs the General area or any BBS specific areas.
Bot Check can vary from BBS to BBS and are just typically a way to get some non machine interaction as a firewall on BBS systems. Just like Captcha asking you to ID the bicycles, it's asking the user to do something.
Welcome and glad you got it sorted out.
