Comments Down
For some reason, even though we use MT-Blacklist and even though we have all comments auto-closed within 7 days, Verve Hosting is claiming we're being deluged with spam and have cut off our comments. We aren't seeing this deluge so we've sent them a note. With any luck they'll respond soon. Sorry....

It is all working again!!
Posted by: Alice, Lil' Sis of the QOAE at November 23, 2004 07:22 PMThe problem with blogspam is that even if you don't see them, the CPU power required for MT-Blacklist can easily lead to excessive resource use if they're hitting you hard.
This is one reason I use my own comment system on my site rather than MT's.
