According to Akismet, over 82 thousand spam comments have been caught for me since installing the software on my site. That’s a lot of spam. I’m a small site with a following of one (1), that one being Me, so I can’t imagine what real sites go through to eliminate the spam and promote the ham.
Spam-bashing aside, the following spamment (? has that been used before?? if not, it’s mine. if so, cool yo, I dig yer style) appeared in my queue and it made me laugh:
“Frankly, the way things are right now, I’m not sure I’d want to play myself in my very own movie of the week.”
Hol.ey.Crap. Same here brotha.
I’ve got to install Akismet on my site. So far I’ve hand-deleted something in the neighborhood of 100 spam comments on my Wiimote post alone.
Drew, I don’t know how you survive without it!
