Thank some jackass spammer and his bot for now having to register to post comments. It's not a difficult process, shouldn't take more than a few seconds. I'm working on banning the spammer, but its hard since his IP has changed 3 times within as many seconds. I do think I can ban him by his user-agent, which is unique among my logs, I've never seen it before.

So...hopefully I'll squash that bot :P
