I can’t hear ya!
It took a lot more time than I thought it would but spammers finally managed to mess up the comment system. I’m temporarily turning off the comments while I figure out what I will do regarding this.
When I first developed the current comment system I thought that spammers wouldn’t bother with this site since it does not use any common interface (like Wordpress) and it’s relatively low ranked. Sure, a few spammy comments appeared but they were usually from a single IP address, so it was easy to ban they.
But a week ago things started getting ugly. About ten comments per day, from cheap car insurance to free casino games, were posted from various IP addresses, much more than I can keep up with.
I love how they carefully put an ID in each of their comments. Has somebody ever though of google bombing these IDs to mess up with then?
In other news, I haven’t forgot about Cube Mine! I have been busy (more than usual!) helping the LuxRender project. Yes, now I’m an official coordinator there! But I will return soon, with cool wallpapers.

I strongly recommend that you turn the No Follow off in your comment section. I’ll watch Google Webmaster Tools, and if the links don’t show up after a couple of weeks — I won’t go back to that blog again. Another suggestion: you should have a Top Commentator widget installed. Do Follow and Top Commentator will ensure that you have a successful blog with lots of readers!
