I get a lot of comment spam on this thing. Tons and tons, which you never see, because I have to approve all comments, and so I spend about 10 minutes every day deleting 100 or so of the gross little buggers. Comments from "rate my camel toe," "saggy tits," and "Doug," to name a few. It's annoying, going through all that nonsense, but also kind of educational. Who knew that there was such a market for lesbian foot fetish sites? That there are patches you can put on your penis to make it bigger? That "Fleshlight...is an [sic] portable, concealable, sturdy male masturbation device"? Thanks to comment spam, I am a font of perverted information.

Posted by: Aaron Weber on March 24, 2006 5:40 PMThat is a fantastically smart idea. I've been working on closing comments for old posts, maybe 60 out of 140 posts done so far, and it's already cut down on the spam enormously. Thanks!
