Spam Ahoy!

It seems that the WordPress spam bots are alive and well. Our servers are being hammered by thousands of spam requests right now. Akismet, combined with our server’s hardware firewall, are repelling most of the attack. Still, we’re having to pull up pages of spam that pass through the net.

Fear not however, even if you see some spam, it’s not a sign that easy commenting is going away. We’ll be deploying some new schemes over the next couple of months that actually improve the comment experience.

And yes, that includes reply notifications if someone posts a reply to your comment.
