The seemingly never ending onslaught of comment spam seems to have…. ended. It’s not the installation of the reCaptcha-plugin that did it, because the spam continued to roll in even after the installation (just that it wasn’t visible). What seems to have solved it was the fact that my server was offline for just about 24 hours when I was in Germany visiting the Wave-Gotik-Treffen. Now I’m hoping that due to the reCaptcha-plugin I won’t be of interest to the comment spammers anymore.

So, wanna stop comment spam? Go offline. =D
