I’m doing a massive rehaul around here, foremost being a switch to the WordPress blogging platform from a very outdated version of b2evolution.

Spammers, you can fuck off and die. Of course, you’re not likely to be reading this since it’s your automated scripts that are doing the dirty work, but the point stands.
