Something, whether it be the posting of this image or the wrath of an angry Ogged, seems to have unleashed a comment bot storm of superkoranic proportions. Look away, indeed! This may be the last image you ever see!
I thought, as mentioned in 8 and 9 above, tht you couldn't comment on old posts without manual approval. That seems to have gotten switched off somehow.
Then Ogged addressed the comments out of the storm and said:
Who is this that obscures bloggic plans with words of ignorance? Gird up your loins now, like true loin-having persons; I will question you, and you tell me the answers! Where were you when I founded the blog? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined the size of my schlong; do you know? Who stretched out the measuring line for it?
The first question was prompted by my thinking, "get your own blog" sounds rather akin to "get your own job," that ogged has created in us a culture of dependency, and you, Republican-like, are trying to wean us off the crippling generosity of the oggedfare state.
Regarding the recent spam attacks, a senior Unfogged official informs me that the blog recently upgraded itself to a newer version of Movable Type, which apparently touts itself as affording a more automatic, hands-off anti-spam mechanism. You can see why the blog might have found this appealing. Indeed, thought the blog, to attain this utopia would be worth the unfortunate conflict with MT Blacklist. But the best laid plans etc. etc., and pending support from the MT crew, comment spam will be frequent, and require manual zappage.
The nip goes up, and the Mineshaft goes down.

Apostropher's nipple (on sabbatical from Mordor) is raining down comment spam and hellfire. Please help, O absent blog protector!

They're back! What the hell happened to the approval for old comments?
Posted by Matt Weiner | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 11:57 AM
It was supposed to be moderation for anything older than 2 weeks, right? I just commented on something from September.

Ogged is punishing us. He is a vengeful Ogged.
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 12:00 PM
My ogged, why have you forsaken us?
Posted by slolernr | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 12:09 PM
I know, the comment spam is unbelievable. I wanted to post a comment on this sooner, but I kept getting a movable type error.
Has ogged been deleting these manually? What's up?

The mecha-sheep filter is totally borked.
Posted by Standpipe Bridgeplate | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 12:16 PM
And why does comment spam first aim itself at older posts?
Posted by bostoniangirl | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 12:16 PM
Labs has implemented a scorched blog policy in order to force Ogged's hand. As God is Ogged's witness, he'll never hiatus again!
Posted by Armsmasher | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 12:16 PM
We had to destroy the blog in order to save it.
Posted by My Alter Ego | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 12:23 PM
I think it's time to endow the ogged lectureship in blogging. I'm experiencing real withdrawal.
Posted by bostoniangirl | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 12:24 PM
You could start your own blog.
Posted by eb | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 12:26 PM
I know. Ogged has built himself a needy blog.
If he puts up a tip jar next, we'll know we're being extorted.

Maybe the solution is to become fans of the "uber-blogger".

I don't understand the first question. I, for one, would read bostoniangirl's blog. Also.

Blogging can only be a help to those who help themselves.

I just don't know what to say about this other than it seems that someone here will.

I have one under my real name, but I don't post much. I don't have enough linky goodness to offer. I need my filters, damn it!
slol, I like the Republican line very much.
Posted by bostoniangirl | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 12:58 PM
I really Pinback, actually. Maybe Goblin Cock's the new sound I've been looking for!
Posted by Armsmasher | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 12:59 PM
In case you're wondering what the nipple looks like when it's ruling Mordor, here it is.

Actually, that's a yeast infection.

I think I see this guy trying to get out.

This is the blog of ogged, the hidden Imam! Hearken y'all unto the doctrines of the Lesser and Greater Oggedcultation!

There is no ogged but Ogged, and FL is not-for-profit.

Posted by Standpipe Bridgeplate | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 2:16 PM
SB, I thought he meant to say he likes Pinback, but I'm not certain how that relates to Goblin Cock. Maybe your explanation better.
Posted by Michael | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 2:22 PM
Is Goblin Cock wizard cocksucker?
Posted by My Alter Ego | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 2:24 PM
Yeahâ€"like them. That album cover has one of Pinback's members listed as a contributor.
Alternatively: I Pinback . . . ATM.

I bet if you were a teenage Goblin Cock fan, it would be useful to have some nicknames you could use around your parents and friends.
Such as:
"I like GC"
"GoCo rules"
"If it wasn't for norah jones, Gob C would be ranked 188,634"

The GoCo music video.
Posted by Michael | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 2:45 PM
Would a GoCo fan be a Gobbler?
Posted by Chopper | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 3:00 PM
Or a Cockhead?
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 10-25-05 3:05 PM
If you could intercut the GobCo Video with the America Fuck Yeah! video, well, then you would have... something.
I think I've found my mission.

That was a awesome video; why the dearth of comments? Is there simply no follow-up?
