The Straight Toke - THE Marijuana Blog

Our host had a couple minor issues during the move, so we were out for a little more than the initial estimates. Everything ought to be working fine now though.

At any rate, I'll be posting a couple responses soon -- so if you e-mailed me, sit tight for just a bit more ;-)

Our host will be moving some equipment tomorrow, so we'll be offline for eight hours or so. The downtime will take place starting 7PM GMT (for our US readers, that's 3PM Eastern), and is estimated by our host to last from four to eight hours.

We've made some upgrades recently, so, just to fill you in, here's a summary of the changes:

1. Two anti-spam plugins. Both work behind the scenes. The first you won't see at all: it's kind of a low-level filter to catch the really dumb bots, etc. It's our first line of defense. Second, there's a smarter filter system that will try and catch the more clever spammers. As a downside, it might catch some human comments too, especially if they're shorter comments. If that's the case, you'll be given a chance to prove your human and display your comment.
