For almost as long as I was using this blog, I’ve been using the free Akismet spam filter. Well, the free ride has finally ended, as they actually want $5 a month to use it now. I’m not complaining, as a man’s got to eat. But this is why I had several hundred WordPress moderate comment emails today.
Since my blog is currently a slightly-money-losing proposition, I have no desire to deepen my losses, so I just moved to the free Antispam Bee for this blog and Futuramen. Dwight is evidently paying the $5 a month for Akismet for his blog, so we can compare after a month or so and see if there’s a noticeable difference between the two.
Anyway, on the off-chance you submitted a blog comment after, say, 11:58 AM today, you might have to repost it.
And maybe somebody can explain why most of my comment spam seemed to come from an Omaha injury lawyer…
Hi,
as a member of the team of volunteers behind Antispam Bee, I’m hope you’ll enjoy Antispam Bee as much as we do :)
Let me know, if there is anything we can help you with.
