To stave off crap like this. I'm sick of garbage like this on blogs I run, taking up valuable server space, and (often) enticing other commenters to start pointless arguments with assheads who like as not should be chained to their beds with thorazine drips in their arms.
Posted by Andrea Harris at August 22, 2003 07:30 AMI've thought about it too, especially after seeing the new comment registration system John Hawkins uses. Seems to work and it would cut down on the hassle I'd think.
Posted by: Ith at August 22, 2003 at 11:59 AMpMachine has a good registration system. It also has a built in comment reply/email subscription system. Or you could just wait til MT pro comes out. I hear it will have registration.
Posted by: dave at August 22, 2003 at 10:00 PMOk, I feel dumb. All the above was mentioned a few blog entries back. Nevermind.
But um, regarding paying for pMachine Pro...anyone who already has it can email you the zip file. Not that good, honest people would do such a thing. I'm just sayin it's theoretically possible ;)
Posted by: dave at August 22, 2003 at 10:04 PMEh, don't worry about it. It's not really that expensive. What's really holding me off is the fact that converting my blogs to another format would be a real pain at this point, so I have to explore what might be other, simpler (and cheaper) avenues to my dilemma.
Posted by: Andrea Harris at August 23, 2003 at 12:00 PMYeah, switching blogging tools is a PITA. Done it a number of times. Most recently tried PostNuke, and quickly ditched it. Ugh. One of these days someone will make a tool that has all the best features from all the others rolled into one.
Still, if you you want to give pm pro a test drive, someone could, hypothetically, send you the zip file. :)
