That’s how much comment spam I just deleted from JBdN. And that’s just since yesterday around seven, when I deleted another one or two hundred. Barely 24 hours. Gods above, I’m just glad I’m holding all the comments for approval.
So that’s it. I’ll be instituting TypeKey in the next week or so. I have some time off this weekend, so maybe I’ll do it then.
Goddamnit, this fucking pisses me off.

In all seriousness, considering the mass amounts of spam you get, I would shut down JBdN and start mailing newsletters to people on your mailing list. You know, like via the post office. And then we could mail our comments back inside of little self-addressed stamped envelopes that you include in the aforementioned newsletter. Granted, it’d take a lot longer and probably cost more than the rental fee of a domain name, but you can’t deny the fact that your spam is getting out of con-fucking-trol.
LOL. “Oh look, Honey. The new issue of JBdN came in today!”
I’d switch to Wordpress! =). I love me some wordpress, and their comment spam tools are amazing.

I’m actually getting ready to experiment with Wordpress for a side-blog I’m creating. If I like it, and if importing my MT stuff can be done easily enough, I may consider switching.
I also might try to get my hands on a copy of MT 3.2 and give it a whirl, see if its spam-fighting abilities help.
