Spam-tastic

Hi all, sorry the site's been pretty inactive lately, we've all been busy with various IRL things. For the time being, I've disabled trackbacks. We were getting nothing but spam, and I just finished clearing about 20,000 of those. Until we can find a reliable spam filter for it, we're not going to be allowing any for the time being.

The reason for this decision is also partially influenced by this article, which was brought to my attention this morning by GarbledOne. It seems spammers are getting more and more creative in their methods, ruining it for everyone. I won't rant more than that--I'm sure you all have your fair share of spam to deal with.

Anyway, I have some new material to talk about, so expect to see posts from me this week.
