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.
