Another Milestone for WAHI… 100,000 Spam Comments Blocked!

Not all that long ago I was talking to a blogger friend and she was not only disappointed with the small amount of comments she had gotten on her blog (she is not an active blogger presently, or I would link) BUT she actually complained that she had gotten -0- Spam comments.

I understand what she was saying… “even the spammers aren’t interested”. Well, let me tell you what I told her.

“Getting real comments from real readers is probably the best thing that any blogger could want, BUT SPAM SUCKS!”

Right now I am sitting here waiting, just waiting…

99,949 Spam caught by Akismet.

99,967 Spams…

(I have FastStone Capture ready and waiting…)

99,971… (seems to be stuck here, maybe they are watching SuperBowl Pre-game shows?)

I don’t know how all these guys have the patience to get that screenshot that shows an Event like this! This is probably the First and Last time I am just waiting for Spammers to Spam me. I know that if I go somewhere and do something else, I’ll end up missing this hallmark.

Ok

It seems everybody stopped Spamming to go watch the SuperBowl (nothing has changed in an hour), so, this is where I’m going to leave it until tomorrow. Hopefully, the Spammers will have REALLY BIG HANGOVERS so I can catch the Big 100,000 mark on screen.

Here’s the Pre-Historic Pic

I’ll really be keeping an eye on this, so if anything happens during the game (well, half time) I’ll update. If not, stay tuned tomorrow to see the final screenshot numbers. I have no doubt it will be over the 100k mark.

Update1: It is now 9:01pm EST and we’re up to 99,989 I think we will break the 100k tonight.

Update2: Just as soon as the SuperBowl was finished (NY 17 NE 14) it started again, I can’t believe I actually caught this!
