As you probably noticed we're under attack by spammers again. Heavy account creation and blog spamming wiped out the recentlog. It's partially recovered and should be back to normal in another few hours. Account creation is off for now so that should prevent further spamming but the site may be slow due to the heavy traffic generated by the spammers. Looks like a botnet or multiple proxies being used. If anyone's interested in doing a little research on their own, here are a few of the many IPs from which the spam is originating: 173.208.47.67, 218.186.17.251, 190.212.92.132, 99.129.227.221, 86.122.20.133, 61.140.173.221, 67.72.247.233, 176.9.33.251, 110.4.89.20, 122.177.153.205, 66.56.158.67, 72.64.98.16, 79.141.172.14.
