And that, my friends, is why Wordpress is better.

Posted by Dave

Hello World.

It would seem that the old Cabbage Patch, which remains up solely for archiving and redirection purposes, has come under a spam attack.

From 4:13 to 5:02 today, around 1500 spam comments were left on various posts throughout the site. Here is an example of a particularly badly hit post.

If there was ever any doubt over why I made the switch from Blogger to Wordpress, I think this is a fairly good reason. Now I don’t know how Wordpress would hold up under a similar attack, and I hope I never have to find out, but this shows a definite weakness in the Blogger software.

Due to that site being essentially dead, I will not likely be cleaning up the spam comments that were posted. If you ever find yourself on the old site (and frankly I don’t know why you would) be wary of the links you find in the comments.
