That’s 1008 spam comments in just over four months. Thank you, Akismet.

LOL… I hadn’t considered that angle…
Another 91 spam in the last four hours, fact fans.

It seems to have increased massively for me recently. In a year I have had around 6,000 spams, but 2,500 in the last 15 days alone.

There’s a definite snowball effect.
I would say that 90% of that spam was within the last 4 weeks. Bastards.
Still, Akismet means none of it appears on WordPress sites; Typepad and Blogger sites use visual ID. Why do they bother?

Barely a week later, and I have just passed the 2000 mark. When do I qualify for my free gift?
