One Bad Apple

I don't know how many of you have tried commenting lately, but if you have, you've seen the Internal Server Error page that you got instead of seeing your comment go through. After searching out the problem, I found that the permissions on the .cgi script responsible for commenting within my Movable Type application were set to a big fat 0. When I tried to CHMOD them back to the proper setting, it told me I didn't have access or permission to do so. What???? So, once again I called up tech support. Turns out some stupid ass was trying to sp*am my comments system by literally trying to send through hundreds at a time, which in turn slowed down to an excruciatingly slow pace the server on which my domain resides, so they turned the commenting script off. They didn't bother emailing and letting me know, though. Nice, huh?

ANYway, a very looong story short, I have had to resort to forcing my readers to register and/or sign-in in order to comment on this blog. Fortunately, though, you can log in using your existing username and password in TypeKey, Movable Type, Open ID, Live Journal, Vox and/or Wordpress. You don't have to register with this site specifically.

It only takes one, doesn't it? One stupid idiot to ruin it for the rest of us! So I apologize, but I had no choice. Thanks for understanding. :)
