Revenge of the Blogspam
A while back, I changed my blog to use gotoAndPlay's MTGotoAndComment Flash-based comment form for Movable Type in an effort to prevent blogspam.
It worked great...for a while. Then floods of spam began rolling in again.
It appears that some blogspammers skip the form altogether and hit the comments cgi file directly. Arrgggg.
Fortunately, Stef at gotoAndPlay addressed the situation (translated to English) with a clever fix that should prevent this from happening again.
So I'll give it another shot before I give up and close the comments in all of my older posts.

'blocked some mofo, suck it pig!'

Oh yeah, and yell at him to update it to work with MT 3.
