Freedom!

Well that's it! Exams are finished and we are finally ready to dive into the world of online business. Currently, we are experimenting with a few things, and we are beginning to plan for our first couple of major projects. We are trying to work as much as possible, but of course the holidays impede this a bit. We'll be going at full steam shortly. I am looking forward to this challenge, which is a much welcome change from that of the years of schooling.

In site news, we have unfortunately been forced to shut down trackbacks due to a ridiculous amount of spam. On average, we get a spam trackback every 4 minutes. So, our approval queues are filled to the brink, and we would never notice if another legitimite site has actually trackbacked us. I'm quite disappointed it has come to this, but we have no choice as of now. If any readers have tips about this topic, let us know!

Aside from that, we wish you all happy holidays! Party hardy :)

Akismet

Regarding the trackback spam, are you guys using any spam fighting tools? http://akismet.com/ is very good and what I use. Spam Karma (http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/ ) is also supposed to be good.

RE:Askimet

Hey Steve,

Regarding Askimet, I ran into it once while searching to combat the annoying trackback spammer as one of our IP banning modules seems to be broken lol. I noticed it was for WordPress, but since we are using Drupal it obviously wouldnt work. I searched a bit deeper and found out they DO have a Drupal module! Thank you for re-opening my eyes to Askimet!

Doh! I didn't even notice

Doh! I didn't even notice you guys were using Drupal. Glad you found something that works, though. Comment spam is REALLY annoying and Askimet does a really good job with it.
