clc will always triumph, because spammers are dumb

I made some changes across the site tonight, mostly aimed at halting the tide of spammy comments which -- despite not getting any further than my moderation queue, and therefore serving no purpose whatsoever to those who spawn them -- still end up taking up more of my attention than I'd like. To this end, I've done something long overdue, which is to close off comments and trackbacks on a load of old entries (only the quiet ones). I don't think this will bother anybody, but it gives the spambots about 300 fewer points to target.

On a related note, let me know if you start getting 403 Forbidden messages, won't you? There's a small chance I've screwed up a regexp...

...that old blog i had on here is collecting 100 spams a day btw (should have mentioned it before I think). Presumably that will stop now though? Not a great problem though as I don't use that email account now anyway. Except to harvest spam.

Cheers,
