Default Which sites actively fight bots? (eg. use CAPTCHA s)? Just Pokerstars?

I would like to bias my play towards poker sites that actively fight bots. I think it would make sense if the sites would force players to occasionally enter a CAPTCHA (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha). I’m not sure if any sites do this normally yet for all players (I doubt it), but I came across a post, which I found interesting as it suggests that Pokerstars does this (maybe with some criteria to trigger the CAPTCHA ?, or is it random intervals for all players ?)

So my question is : which sites are known to be the most pro-active against bots ? Is it just Pokerstars doing this ? (and if so, they will tend to get my business)

WSEX seems to be pro-active about banning bots.

I would stay off the bot cheaters' site if I was you. In the past people have had account troubles when cookies from there have been detected.

I've heard about them at Party, but have never had one. Do they still do them?

Poker stars does have them and are targeted to suspected winholdem bot users. Private and non public bots are also getting the captchas because of the anti-bot technology they have. PokerStars is by far the best site to play on because the bot users actually have to baby sit there bots to not get caught. PokerStars understands there integrity of there games needs to be the formost important part of there business.
FullTilt - Lots of bots and they dont care, ignore there presense.
UltimateBet- Absolutly doesnt care and lets them run rampant and denies bots can play on there site.
WPEX- Bots, Bots, and more bots. Currently investigating site.
Absolute- Same as UB.

You can find more on my site as I am in the process of gathering lots of information and doing a major update and upgrade on exactly how to find the bots yourself. Major poker magazines and media outlets are also about to get involved. =)
