For every actual comment I get on this blog I get several thousand spam posts. Thanks to Akismet, Anti-Captcha, and Bad Behavior most of them never make it farther than the spam folder. But over the last year I’ve seen a massive spike in these failed attempts and the amount of actual comments has trailed off.
So I’m turning comments off and we’ll see how it goes. I’m still reachable by all the normal methods (email, Facebook, Google+, etc.), so I don’t think it will hurt. *pokes blog thoughtfully*
