The title is an actual search term that led someone to this site…
Been a while since I posted, so I little update. Monday, Biff and I went out to Richmond and tore up the indoor kart track. That was $50 well spent. What fun! Now there was some confusion regarding the timing and scoring but the print out said we got third and that’s the storey we’re going with.
Speaking of stats and the like, 97 people ended up here after doing a search for Adrian Clarkson. A negative aspect is all the comment spam. Sometime tomorrow (or maybe even tonight) I will have received more comment spam than actual comments. My stats are increasingly littered with crap that has nothing to do the visitors actually coming here.
It’s gotten to the point that I’ve actually given thought to pulling the site down for a while though I doubt it would make much difference at the end of the day.
So yeah, that’s about it. I’m pretty sure I had more to say but at this point it escapes me and I really don’t care. 
Thank you and good day.
Coment spam drives me crazy, too… but until they can actually hack into my site and spam that, I gotta count my blessings. The best you can hope for is that your readers aren’t morons and they won’t actually click any of the links….
The comment spam never makes it to the site but I see it. Between MT3 and MT Blacklist, 99% is caught.
The thing is, the comments aren’t there to be clicked; that’s just gravy to them. It’s the pagerank that they crave which is why they tend to post to older entires.
MT3 now moderates any message older than 5 days which pretty much takes care of the problem.
I guess I’m just letting the bastards get to me a little. I know most bloggers don’t care and don’t remove the spam and that is why the spammers keep sending it.
Sad days… they’ve stopped updating the MTBlacklist. Looks like as soon as MT hired the guy who wrote the plug-in, he’s stopped maintaining it. That sucks.
It does however explain why I’m getting about 50 spam comments a day.
MT 1x is no longer updated. You should upgrade to MT 3x and grab MT Blacklist from the developer pack.
Beautiful integration though the need for it is lessened now that comments to old posts are moderated by default.
