I’ve been blogging since two, almost three years ago in a couple of different sites, but most spam I receive is related to the online shopping I do, or because of the fanlisting I own.
…It seems about 50 or so messages arrive at my spam folder in both email accounts I use, daily. I always check this folder before deleting it, just for good measure, so I take a look at the messages… Most of them are, as usual, medical/drug advertisements AND sex “offerings”, and I just wonder where in Eath those spammers get my email from (ok, I check on yaoi and hentai sites but not that often)…
It always make my day, though, when I receive a “you won the lottery, wow!” message (about once a week, sometimes a couple of similar messages from the same sort, so I must be real lucky to be twice the winner), or better yet, a “your paypal account…” For I have no Paypal account: this service doesn’t operate in my country. However, those spammers insist on problems with my account, I’d say once every two or three weeks.
Sorry for my boring spam chronicles. I should find a way to make my stories a bit funny.

[...] So why don’t we more widely advertise that free hosting is available? Well at first we didn’t because we wanted to get an automated process setup to create the accounts. Eventually it became obvious that fully automating this process isn’t possible as some things must be done from the web panel manually. It’s also become painfully obvious that any kind of link setup for creating accounts would get spammed horribly. (See my post about dealing with spam for an idea of the spam we deal with already.) Finally though, I think the process we have now is better in some ways. How many sites that you sign up with do you get to talk to the owner? Our users are used to contacting me personally when they have a problem, whether by E-mail, on the forums or on our IRC channel (for the record E-mail’s the best way to contact me). [...]

[...] Well, I placed this under site news because it is probably something good that is happening. Maestro is finally restarting his blog and focuses on various aspects and problems of animeblogger.net such as spammers and possibly much more other issues that would probably be explored. Do take a look at the great ab.net’s taichou’s blog for more updates on ab.net and the likes. [...]
