That Was Quick

We're getting spammed through the Minx comments. It has only a trivial spam-prevention mechanism right now, and it looks like they've gotten around it.

Time to take it to level two, I guess. Before we go live, or anything like that...

1 Have you considered trying WordPress?

shuttingup.

2 Yes.

Wordpress doesn't support multiple blogs. There are efforts in that direction, but they're not making a whole lot of progress.

Running 250 Wordpress blogs would be a nightmare. Not for you, but for me. Running 250 blogs in Minx is no harder than running one.

Also, Wordpress sucks.

3 If there was any viable alternative to writing an entire blogging system from scratch, believe me, I would have taken that alternative.

Wordpress is hopelessly non-viable. Movable Type 3.x and Expression Engine would work, but have license restrictions that prevent us from using them. LifeType is a mess, with plugins required for basic functionality. And everything else is even worse.

5 Okay, now we're running on level 1.5. We'll see what that does.

If nothing else, it will give me an idea of the spammers' technology level.

7 You know the old saying... If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Pixy, you are taking that to a whole new level.

9 Okay, level 1.5 didn't work. Let's see what level 2 does.
