Spam
13-May-08
This web site has been getting spammed with a huge amount of comment spam. Basically, bots crawling the interwebs have stumbled upon my web site and filled out the Comments form with bogus info and links to sites no one should ever visit. My database for this site, which is typically around 5mb, was reporting over 150mb, thats all text data! I had literally, hundreds of thousands of spam entries. Since they inserted them incorrectly into my database they did not show up when viewing comments even though they were still in the database. I had to delete the entire database and reload a fresh copy with all of the good data. Everything is working fine now and I can once again post updates to the site as my database is no longer maxed out.
