I remember years ago, when I did threepixels' site. It had a oneliner, anybody could write there whatever they wanted. It was all so cool, and clean, no spam at all. By then I almost didn't know what spam was.

I wonder what would had been like if threepixels's site was done again, with the same code. How long the spammers would had started to fill that tinny box with url's and crap?

This site was starting to be like that. Looks like internet is becoming as dangerous as the real life. Having a inputbox on your site is like going out at night naked, walk a bit, walk a bit, and someone will use you, as the sapmmers try to use that inputbox.

Oh well, now, after cleaning the 500+ spam comments from the database, it was time to stop trying to figure out antiSpam systems by myself and use a package that other systems use: Akismet. With a bit of Sole's help and with this great Bret Kuhns class I had the system up and running in a couple of minutes.

Now I just have to wait and see how everything works. Sorry for everyone that submitted a comment to the site the last couple of months and that had to wait a lot to finally see it online! I hope this is over now.
