Last night my comments system got hit by spammers. It got hit hard. So hard in fact that I've had to actually delete my comments system. The site had ground down to halt and it was the only solution. So to all the poeple that have commented on my blog since ever, I sincerely apologize for your comment being removed.

Now, I could throw a hissy fit about it, and rant about the scum sucking spammers and their lowlife tactics, but really, why waste the energy. What I'm taking away from this experience is that the comment system I was using is flawed. It's a positive that I now know about.

I'm about to launch a new site into a new niche and I expect it to be huge for me. The last thing I would've wanted was for my shiny new site to be getting great traffic, bringing in sales, getting great feedback, and then have the whole thing explode in my face because of monkeys throwing poo.

Does it suck because my comments system is currently non-existent? Of course it does. is it the end of the world? No. Can I benefit from having it happen in the first place? Of course I can.

I expect I'll have the new one up in the next day or so, until then, feel free to email me, or better yet, go check out my forum A Dent In The Universe that I run with a few like-minded friends and leave a comment there.
