I saw this when logging in.

Just needed to alert you about it.
Sorry if you are already on it, this isn't really a great first post.

It means what you can read there. The captcha needs to be updated until the day of reckoning mentioned there.
ReactOS is still in
alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is
recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

Just tell me that the days of Reacting are not coming to an end.
Thank you.

Not to worry, Adcock, it looks like someone already made the necessary changes. I see the new version of ReCaptcha on the "Create new account" page.

It's happening on the wiki page too.

Reactos doesn't die, it's about Google's recaptcha being deprecated in favour of their "Are you a robot?" V2

Where are you guys seeing the ReCAPTCHA on the wiki? I can't seem to find it anywhere but the "Create new account" page.
Also, what browser are you using? I'm using Chrome.

When you edit a wiki page and press apply changes you have to put in a captcha.

Yesterday I saw the same message on the Re-Captcha used on a major retailer's web site. I typed in V1 SHUTDOWN ON 2018-03-31 and the Re-Captcha let me proceed. I think a Re-Captcha that answers to a known, fixed string is a potential cyber-security hazard for sites that rely on the Re-Captcha to be an obstacle for repeated, rapid-fire automated attacks to discover user IDs (to name one example).
