what is the purpose of these bots?

There are programs that are designed to search the web for registration forms. Once they find one, they are designed to fill it out a million times. Since most bots can't interpret the contents of images, the image verification keeps them from completing the registration.

Yeah basically this is to verify your an actual human. You see, on the internet there's spam bots that go around and try to make accounts on forums. They obviously are unable to see so this verification keeps any bots away from the forums.

Well, if you look, there is usually an explanation next to that box, but, just to enlighten you, it's to verify that you are not a bot...

To keep automated "bots" from signing on or signing up for hundreds or thousands of times.
