Oh those Spammers
Posted on:November 14 2007
Looks like spammers misused this blog to send tons of spam via its trackback funcionality, my ISP just let me know. Yesterday, the amount of spam increased to such enormous amounts so they had to delete a part of the PHP scripts behind the blog. So I set down, patched and modified the code, and hope that everything is better now again.
Too bad, I wanted to blog a nice article this evening, but instead I had to do this now. Better luck next time.

Is trackback functionability worth the price of having the website bog down? I started a blog of my own, and I find that the trackbacks that I do have are mostly spams, too. It seems to me that viewers are more likely to find your blog through Google search than trackback nowadays. I am seriously considering to disable this feature altogether. ;)

I don't know exactly which version, it's pretty customized now :)
Yes, I've now disabled trackbacking completely too.
