I really can’t stay away from my website for too long. Not because I’m addicted or anything. The problem is that I get caught under a mountain of spam. Consider that right now I have 12,819 spams blocked by Akismet. That’s all well and good, because Akismet is an excellent spam blocker. The real issue here is that I’ve been HIT by 12,819 spams since I began using Akismet… and that’s not even been a year yet. I installed and configured the Akismet plugin for WordPress on September 6, 2006. So in 356 days, that means I’ve averaged 36 spams per day. And that’s not a real average. It’s been picking up momentum. It’s been growing linearly. I hadn’t checked since the last time I typed an entry and Akismet had blocked 311 spams since then… in four days… that makes about 78 spams per day blocked. Since when did I get so popular with the spambots?

Sad thing is, that’s not a lot of SPAM. Some blogs (more popular than mine or yours, I guess) get hundreds or even thousands of SPAMs a day. Yoish!
