A Vote Against Spam

I think I can stop spam dead by turning off the Movable Type comments and replacing them with the Minx comment system.

Two drawbacks:

1. Minx doesn't rebuild your blog, so the comment count won't update. This will get fixed soon; it already tracks which pages need to be rebuilt, it just doesn't actually do it.
2. Minx doesn't send you notification emails.

Oh, and:

3. Minx comments by default don't look like your blog. They look like, well this, for example. But you can edit the templates and change it to use your existing stylesheet.

Give me a day or two to tidy things up and post some instructions, and we should be able to kick this spam addiction for good.

The problem is, everyone needs to make the switch so that I can completely switch off MT comments completely, because MT comments leak (at least on our ancient version).

I should be able to do something to globally switch everyone over, which just leaves you to set up your own custom comment-page templates (which I can help with).

What do you think?

1 I'm all for it, but then again I've been known to be easy.

2 I'm for it, especially if they can be made to look more like my current comments.

I will, however, be sad to lose all those comments saying "Webmaster! Great site! Keep up the good work!"

I've come to depend on those for affirmation. Is there anyway you can install a script that will automatically generate such comments?

Thanks.

3 I can tweak your version of the new comment thingy a bit, sure. I can certainly make them pop up in a new window.

But I won't do the grey background, because grey backgrounds are teh evul!!!!!

7 You should also obtain a pet airline travel kennel
which is sufficient to your pet to maneuver in because she or he is
going to be inside for an extended time.
