Well, after much debate (because of the amount of spam) I’ve decided to enable the comments again. I was getting close to 300 spam messages a day on the blog, and so I disabled it. It dropped to 1 or 2 a week. So I now know exactly how the bots were doing it.
I’ve upgraded the blog to now use CAPTCHA encryption to verify that a human is entering the information. Enjoy your comments… 🙂
