Got hit by massive spam-comment attack!

Haven't been able to update this site for a long, long time. Just when I was thinking of restarting the updates with some interesting topic, got hit by a massive spam-comment attack! The @#$%^&*! Well, with no spam protection, this was eventually bound to happen.

Luckily, MT-Blaclist should atleast help me nail down the rogue comments and do a bulk delete.

Also renamed my mt-comments.cgi recently. It has reduced the spam to almost nil.

Still getting a couple of spams every week. MT-Blacklist's master blacklist is not being updated frequently now. Moreover, it is a reactive approach and will not be 100% effective. Many people will be hit before somebody updates the blacklist and others incorporate it into their site.
