An explanation

Posted by bornfamous

To my surprise, someone has actually noticed the mess that has been this blog for some time now. Here’s what happened:
1. Two or three months ago, comment spammers bombed my site.
2. At the same time, I tried to update MovableType, which somehow disabled MT-Blacklist and things just went downhill from there.
