Included in this release:

CAPTCHA for Community Server 2007 with AJAX

The CAPTCHA control is implemented as a Control Adapter, which allows CAPTCHA functionality to be added to Community Server without touching the ASPX code of each individual blog/site skin.

Added to this release is support for AJAX CAPTCHA Validation on the server, eliminating the need to store the CAPTCHA code in a cookie.

Adds "Kick It" image to the bottom of each post for creating a "You've Been Kicked" trackback at DotNetKicks.Com

This application uses ATLAS to provide the AJAX user interface, and presents three link buttons that call methods both asynchrounously and synchronously on the server with the ScriptTimeout property set really low to simulate long running request problems. It also uses a cool feature of ATLAS, the TimerControl, to provide the polling code necessary to update the UI and show a progress bar. Download the code here to try it out for yourself. I’ve had to rip out the ATLAS script stuff because of the ATLAS eula, but download ATLAS, an copy the Microsoft.Web.Atlas.dll ot the bin directory, and the Scripts to the ScriptLibary directory and you should be able to experiment with this code.
