You may have noticed an improvement in comments on the site recently. A few weeks ago, I deleted all commenter names, IP addresses and email addresses in the blacklisted file. I was waiting for the usual suspects to post so that I could add them back to the new blacklist file.
This seems to have improved the approval of comments that were being moderated for no apparent reason.
As for the integrity of this site, I backup the information regularly and download it offsite. Next week, I will backup the site and optimize the database. We should see a large improvement on page load, comment submission and article submissions/updates.

First CME from these storms arrives this afternoon or this evening. Imagine a battering ram… first time or two maybe it doesn’t take down the door. After that? It may end up being nothing but a spectacular aurora display tonight and tomorrow night. I’d still have water, gas, and plans to stay home.
