Man I'm sick of DoS-ing spammers

It's been months since I set up reCaptcha and since then not a single spam comment has been accepted. But the spam-bots continue and eventually end up chewing up all available threads of the web server. Grr.

Sorry to anyone unable to acces the site for a few hours this morning.

I have some plans for how to beat them that I'll gradually roll out, we'll have to see who wins!

(For the uninitiated, DoS means Denial of Service.)

Update: I'm not winning :(
