You Know What Part

"Let us think the unthinkable, Let us do the undoable, Let us prepare to grapple with ineffable itself, And see if we may not eff it after all." Douglas Adams

Scourge of the Earth

The comments situation here will continue as I just had a fun peek into my server stats. 22.09% of the requests to my site are to mt-comments.cgi. Oddly, the most bandwidth passes from my Politics category, but that’s another story.

Now, I don’t pretend to be in any way important to the community; this is a vanity site and a chance for me to screw around with a server without nuking one my own machines. Still, I was amazed at the traffic that spammers bring to this back-woods URL. In the last 80 days, 7691 hits were recorded to just mt-comments.cgi. That’s a little under 100 a day. That’s almost, well, 100 times more than the legit visitors I get. (Thanks to AAiOR for continuing to read, BTW; if you’re ever coming to Chelsea, drop me a line. I think I owe you a beer.)

Anyway, as humbling as a stats check was, I’m going to keep the comments open to registered users only. Sorry, but mainland China is a little too friendly to the scum of the internet.
