BigCloset may go up and down today while Bob and I fight these turkeys off. Please be patient and we should have a few necks wrung soon.

One Barbecued Turkey to Go, Please

Well, he's locked out until he gets a new ISP. Looks like the same fool who's been hitting the box since early January but today, both Bob and I happened to be logged in and saw what he was doing WHILE he was doing. Bob took appropriate action while I cheered from the sidelines. :)

Thanks, Bob.

Spammers

I'm just hanging this off here. Today, I had two different spammers put in a total of 70+ spam comments. They've been banned from the server but removing the spam and adding them to the banned list took half an hour. I don't want to have to do that everyday but if such action continues, I may have to turn off unregistered comments again. I like having unregistered comments on but two to five legitimate comments per day is not worth half an hour of work. Nothing any of us can do about it but spammers, be warned, you will be banned from the server.
