Comment Spam is going to be the death of me yet

Ok, so after another flood of comment spam I thought I would get off my a$$ and fix the problem. I've wanted for some time to find a way to close comments older than 14 days, and found the only solutions out there for MT require the data to be in a SQL database source. Makes it difficult when you are using a berkley db. *sigh*

So tonight with the help of Alan I thought I would finally get it done. Not such a good idea.

In the process of killing the spammers... I ended up killing all my comments over the past 2 years. Not good. To top it off, the mt-db2sql.cgi segfaulted and we couldn't get it ported anyways.

I will have to beg a plead with Alan to get yesterdays backups of my db. Hopefully he'll be in a good mood when I ask.
