I got a bunch of “Comment: [entry]” emails this morning from .Text, indicating that there’d been comments posted on a some of the old posts (over a year old). Sure enough, lots of comment spam. Thanks, idiots. ‘preciate that.

The CAPTCHA thing seemed to be working well for a while, but ways around that are fairly common now… so I’ve turned off the Comments capability. It’s lame and I didn’t want to, but I’m not about to spend time each day going through the admin interface to delete some moron’s list of porn links.

If nothing else, this will probably hasten my move to Community Server or dasBlog, both of which are sure to have much better comment handling and anti-spam capabilities than this older version of .Text. I like the idea of having a file/picture gallery to go with the blog software, so CS is probably the first one I’ll look at.
