In Romania, I’m HUGE

A minor admin note: I help admin a friend’s forum and he’s been getting hit by a ridonkulous number of spambots lately; when I went to check my own forums it wasn’t so bad, but when I checked here… WOOOO! I’m apparently big in Romania with users who have names identical to users who already comment on the blog plus one or two letters (my favorites were “PapaStud” and “Gapporina” and “softsoftwebsXXX”). So needless to say, I deleted a bunch (~250) of bogus blog accounts today that had never commented. If I deleted a valid account – one not signed up for by a toaster – in error, my apologies.

I don’t know who’s decided to beef up their spambot game all of a sudden, but between the two sites… they’re gettin’ on my nerves.
