And how the internet time flies, not unlike the time in the non-digital world. Three years ago, this old blog went live on the series of tubes1.
As is the ritual at times like these, the statistics from the WP Dashboard at this juncture are:
You have 1,513 posts, 8 pages, contained within 2 categories [...]

For the first time in a long time, Akismet mistakenly flagged a non-spam comment. The auto-flush spam comments on old posts has trimmed the spam cesspit by a huge margin, so non-spam comments are easier to find.
And, I plucked James‘ comment out of the dreck, and it’s available to all.
Not beating up on [...]

As documented here, I activated the heretofore unnoticed Automatically discard spam comments on posts older than a month checkbox in the Akismet WordPress plugin.
A month or so in, and my spam trap went from ginormous1 to next to none. And I can much more easily find any false positives that make it into [...]

I don’t know how long this option has been in Akismet, but there’s now a checkbox labeled Automatically discard spam comments on posts older than a month
.
Following the recent WordPress 2.6.1 upgrade, I noticed the option when reactivating plugins post-upgrade. I checked it, and my incoming spam trap has been squeaky clean. This is [...]

While I slept, the Akismet spam trap caught its 30,000th; spam comment. I personally thank the on-line pharmacies, car quote places, Hold ‘em poker sites, and most of all those prolific porno sites, for making this all possible.
Thanks, Akismet! Now, on to 100k!

tbbs-land’s Akismet-powered spam trap continues to collect its daily ration of sludge; the count of such occurrences appears in the right sidebar when you visit the site.
A not too scientific analysis of posts which get the most spam hits is one entitled “Wee Willie Wiki”. I wonder whether spammers, especially those hawking male enhancement potions [...]
This self-referential post marks post number 1001 here at tbbs-land. I think it fitting that the 1000th announced the blimp. I guess it’s incumbent to cite statistics on milestone events; from the WP Dashboard:
Posts: 1001
Comments: 532
Categories: 27
Akismet spam kills: 13,543.
On to the next 1000, and y’all come back now, ya hear?

I marked the occasion of my 5000th spam comment with this post. And today, thanks to the efforts of the get prescription drugs at home people, a new resurgence of the porn people, and contributions by the free ringtones and online poker camps, Akismet has now protected tbbs-land from over 10000 spam comments.
Ba-whoosh! And [...]
tbbs-land hits a somewhat ignominious milestone today. More than 5000 comment spams have now been flushed from the Akismet spam trap.
And only about 4 or 5 false positives in the whole shebang.
Thanks, Akismet, as we proceed toward five figures.

This morning, there was something to be flushed from the Akismet spam trap, indicating that my recent move has been a success.
Inadvertently tagged in the ordeal was PJ, who was retrieved with one click, and now has the distinct and timeless honor of being the first commenter here at my new digs.
w00t!
