No trackbacks
From the administrator:
I've found the cause of the two recent outages - and the third one, which happened just now, but which was mercifully short because I was logged in to the server while it happened.
Trackback spam.
VAST amounts of trackback spam.
So much trackback spam that Apache locked up and wouldn't restart.
So no trackbacks, sorry. Not that I've seen a legitimate trackback in ages.
Which suggests an interesting question. Should I just removed the trackback feature altogether from my blog going forward, even after they are re-enabled? How valuable are they to you?
While you ponder that, know that the MuNu community will be moving to a new hosting service in a matter of days. Expect stability to return shortly.

It's not something I've used much if at all, so if they're that much of a problem or potential problem, get rid of them (unless you have a reason for them - hey, your blog).

Yeah, I generally don't follow trackbacks also.
And here I thought it was a Liberal conspiracy to buy out that tropical island ISP in order to shut you down Steve ;-)
