You might have noticed that we’ve been having some troubles staying up today. It would appear that this is due to an onslaught of comment spam, causing the site to eat up resources on the shared server we use, which tripped some limits at the hosting provider and led them to choke the site.
The upshot of this is that I’ve had to disable comments and trackbacks for the time being until I can figure out some other solution. So yeah, hooray for spammers.
Update: I think I’ve fixed it, and momentarily outfoxed the spammers. Comment away!
Further Update: Of course, I spoke too soon and have spent most of my day trying to wrest control of the site back from this bunch of jackasses. Yay for spam.
