The spam appeared on posts from other boards. Are the spammers are using one of those user names we picked up back in the TikiWiki days, only changing their e-mails and user names as they post? As far as turning on the statute of limitations, fine by me, at least until the storm has passed.

Any time you get tired of it, let me know, and I'll make registration required again. Hmmm, I was just looking at the dashboard, and I see there's an option to close comments after some number of days. That would shut down these zombie threads stone cold. If we do, we should announce it, so as to not frustrate a legitimate poster wanting to go back and have the last word. What ya think? Closed after 14 days, the default?
