Maybe the worst is behind me?
I wanted to post an update for anyone who's still reading. Basically, I've been fighting a seemingly unending flood of comment spam for several weeks now. Who knew that there were so many ways to fudge an URL for an online casino? Or that the market for knock-off Cialis was large enough to support such a large marketing effort?
At any rate, I was becoming very frustrated with the whole thing, so it seemed like a good time to just take a break and reduce my online profile. I'm definitely not going to bother with notifying blo.gs or weblogs.com any more. I think those sites have pretty much become reference lists for the comment spammers. Just to give you some idea of the scope of the problem, here is MT-Blacklist's activity log since I installed it in mid-April:
I'm not sure where we go from here. I'd like to keep writing and I'd like to think that people will keep reading. Let's just take it one day at a time and see what happens...
