The situation is worse than I thought. Not only have the bots figured out how to get through my captcha device to leave comment spam (which then goes to me for moderation), but I just noticed that a bunch of them had registered accounts here, including the email confirmation, which means they were technically able to leave comment spam unmoderated. I went through my comments and thankfully there was no damage done, but still it terrifies me that they were able to get that far.

Until a solution presents itself, I've turned off unregistered commenting and I've set things so that all new accounts have to go through me before they are activated. This means that if you're a legitimate visitor, you're going to have a tough time commenting or registering, but let's face it: I haven't really been updating here lately, so there's no real incentive for random strangers to pop in and leave comments or register new accounts.

I'm going to overhaul the site eventually, though I'm not sure when, or how. When I do, hopefully I'll be able to find a better option.

It appears the spammers have figured out how to get through my captcha devices. This site, which I rarely ever update at this point, is being inundated with comment spam. I need to fix this, ASAP!
