A Small Change

 

Okay…so…spammers really suck. This has been posted here before – but now it’s for a new reason. Apparently there is some programs floating around out there that will allow spammers to post comments on blogs. Seriously – how lame is that??? The stupidest part is that the spam comments usually get placed WAAAYYY back in the posts so chances are no one is ever going to see them.

Anyway, I got tired of this so I made a small change with regards to commenting – now you can only comment on posts that are recent. All older posts will be locked for commenting. Hopefully this stops the spam and they don’t have a way around that. If they do, I may just have to disable commenting completely – we’ll see. You can still view the old comments but just can’t post to most of the older posts. As a general rule, I’ll probably be closing off commenting after the post has been up about two weeks or so.

Newer versions of the blogging software I use (Moveable Type) have an option that forces people to register before they can post comments. I would move to the new version except they’ve started charging for it now and for Nikki & I to both be able to post it would cost like $40 or $50 US for that. I can put up with either the lack of commenting or spam before I shell out for the new version.
