Ten Thousand Spam Comments? Come on!

So a little news about TundraHeadquarters.com. First of all, our 1 year anniversary is coming up on Sunday. Thank you to everyone that has visited, commented, and emailed. This has been a great experience for both of us here at TundraHQ. We hope the site will continue to grow, and we hope we can continue to provide news, reviews, and information that people will find interesting and useful.

Second of all, Jason, our admin, is moving to NYC in the next few months. While it’s a good move for him personally (that won’t take away from his ability to contribute to TundraHQ), it means parting with quite a few possessions (those NYC apartments are notoriously small). One of those possessions included a tricked out 07 Tundra. Bummer. The good news – we’re looking for people to help contribute content (like videos, reviews, installation instructions, etc.). If you feel like you can write a good review (and include a video and some pictures), contact us. We might be able to work out something where you get some free parts as long as you’re willing to do a little show and tell…

Third, the title of this post. It’s unbelievable. It’s crazy. It’s ridiculous. But, as of today at midnight eastern time, the blog at TundraHeadquarters.com has received 9,558 spam comments. That’s approximately 26 spam comments a day. For all of you who aren’t exactly sure what comprises a “spam comment”, they typically say “Wow. Great article. Really like your site.” followed by “Pharma link. Adult link. Gambling link….etc.” Thank goodness the blog software does 99% of this for us. Here’s a screen shot:

TundraHeadquarters Blog spam in one year.

So, we got that goin’ for us.

We’ll try and complete the redesign this weekend. Thanks to everyone that voted on the new design – it seems to be a successful upgrade.

  1. You are lucky with the SPAM you get. I get thousands everymonth, only I shut off the trackback, which reduces the amount of automatic comments. It took me a couple of months to figure out what to do

    Carlos,

    Our system automatically marks every comment on posts more than 30 days old as spam. That really reduces the workload, but I’m worried we’re missing some useful comments. It’s too bad that some people go out of their way to ruin it for everyone else…

    Thanks for commenting.
