Comments temporarily disabled...
I received the following e-mail from the abuse department of ICDSoft:
We would like to inform you that we have disabled the access to the following script on your account:mt-comments.cgi
because it was overloading the server and endangered its stability. If we did not restrict the access to this directory, your site could have halted the server affect all the 350 customers hosted on it. We cannot afford to endanger the stability and performance of any of our servers.
Please note that this module does not have built-in limitations, and can exhaust the server resources really fast. This Movable Type is not in any way optimized and is not used any more. Please consider using another module, named mt-blacklist.cgi.
I disabled Blacklist when I started using Typekey.
For the moment, no one can leave comments on Rhetorica. I'll try to get this problem fixed as soon as possible.
UPDATE (11:10 a.m.): Comments are back on. I don't know for how long.
UPDATE (11:45 a.m.): I have implemented a plugin that disguises the URL for mt-comments.cgi. What that means: You can only leave comments on Rhetorica if you have Java enabled. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.
