Is Akismet down?
Did they close the servers?
Well something is wrong. My site and a few other people’s sites are banning people. it’s almost as if akismet is banning huge i.p. ranges or internet service providers. I had an issue a few months back. It seems it is happening again. I am not mad at anyone. I completely appreciate everything they have done. It does though seem like I should just turn it off in my plug-ins and all of my posts might have to have the comments turned off . Really it seems like I never used the thing anyway. I personally have decided to not accept probably 200 times the amount of messages that Akismet did not block. No i do not ban them, I just decide to not accept spammy ones.
Here is a quote from the Forums I posted my request in
all of my powweb accounts are showing this again
“Akismet has detected a problem. A server or network problem is preventing Akismet from working correctly. Click here for more information about how to fix the problem.”
Last time that was showing, there was an issue . It took a few days for people to come together and note it was not each of our individual fault/issue.
I didnt log into any of my sites for like 3 days, i logged in and saw that.. It has now been three days since I first saw it. So I am assuming no one has caught it again.
Just a heads up to the techies. if it turns out to be something on my end. Let me know.

Not to say it is actually teh same issue, but I could suggest that something else happened when they updated to accommodate the issue I WAS having. It all seemed to start with the latest WordPress update.
There is a link in “Is Akismet down?” that shows how to resolve some of the issue. Maybe it will help you.
Seems I am the only person who get this information out, because I did not update every single wordpress script on all of my websites.. This one is the one to get the message out. I have not yet found the solution to akismet crashing my rss feeds on all of my sites but this post is my original post about akismet being down and not working well with wordpress 2.8.5.
Maybe I am totally wrong and someone knows the fix for my issue. If so please post it on the site, in case someone else thinks the same as myself.
So much writing has gone to waste over the past 4 days.
WordPress of course developed another fine version of WordPress.
Of course the auto update did not work well for me so I had of course tomanually install it. just download and walk-through the instructions, nothing more, nothing less.

You are playing mobsters on myspace, and you keep seeing people post some freaking numbers. You have no idea what to do with those numbers.
Help is here
TADDA!
Ok what you do is highlight those numbers. If you do not know how to highlight. write them down.
Now click on the name of the person who posted the numbers. Either a new window will open, or a new tab will open. You are now looking at your friend’s page. move your eyes to the top of your web browser and look at the link. If you look far right there will be a series of numbers. Those numbers are what everyone is posting. just delete those numbers and type in what your friend posted for you. Some web browsers make those numbers start with a twenty two at the beginning like this :
Practice with this one punch him once or twice for me.. since I helped you out and all. :-P
396528470
without 22 at start
or
22396528470
With 22 at the begining
I hope this helped
HFGL!
Man I spent 2 days setting up m forum and chatroom. I have done all i can to get traffic to them and I do get traffic, but none fricken signs up. They just show up and look around and then bail. It’s like they don’t want to be the only person posting on a vacant forum. But man, someone has to be the first to go there and post. I am tempted to make fake accounts. but I can’t see how to make posts and not feel like a dillweed.
Heck the forum is the same age as the chatroom. One month. There is no irc relation at all. My site hosts the full weight of the bandwidth. Heck I have tons of bandwidth and tons of storage . I started a contest and posted the link while trying to not be spammy.
How in the hell do I get people to post ?
I have a forum on my site now, it’s up and running.
To me it was the nicest looking and easiest for me to use. The goal is to just start helping people with tech issues, and cover video games . Well you know, TECH content. I just want to help people and talk about some fun stuff. I have created a few categories and put some content in there. I would like some tips and ideas or maybe a few questions I might be able to answer for you.
So come on in and look around and sign up. Maybe make a post or two. Let me know you’re out there.

Sheesh, after all of the work I did, I linked it wrong.
Link fixed now.

Ok, I have been on digg since it came out.
I kinda enjoyed it, but it always left an empty feeling.
I really think that type of social networking is very unsocial.
I mean, you really can’t interact with other people. Now, I just go there to help rate my friends and stuff they produce. I truly believe that the ability to argue opinions is how people actually communicate and create group minds that solve issues. If I can’t tell someone how they are screwing up, then I’m not talking to them, and vice versa. I want to know where and how I messed up.
So, I am at that type of place to give a big “how do” to my buds and their work, but I go to lockergnome and to live.pirillo.com to really talk and hear other opinions.
where do you go?
