Comment spam doubles…again
A month ago I reported that my comment spam had doubled from 1,000 to 2,000. Yesterday I hit my second doubling, hitting 4,000+ pieces of comment spam. While none of you truly appreciate the volume of spam I’ve been hit with recently, I assure you that I “appreciate” it (every time I log into the WP admin panel to see how much there is). Anyway, here’s a rough timetable of my spam:
- 12/11/2005 - Akismet goes live on unclehulka.com, counting begins
- 4/1/2006 - Akismet stops the 1,000th piece of comment spam on unclehulka.com
- 5/9/2006 - Akismet stops the 2,000th piece of comment spam on unclehulka.com
- 6/3/2006 - Akismet stops the 4,000th piece of comment spam on unclehulka.com
So, at this rate, I’m looking at a little under a month of doubling time. That’s just insane.
