Comment Spam Attack

The Green Man is currently under a comment spam attack and I have had to disable comments. There is no point emailing me either because the email account has maxed out as a result of the attack. Hopefully things will be back in order in a day or so.

Update

Ha, fixed you, you bastards. There are some advantages to being skilled in relational databases. A quick bit of SQL and 2,500 pieces of comment spam are obliterated. Now it is just the tediousness of deleting all the accompanying emails and calming down my hosting service who are cracking it over the amount of CPU usage the incident resulted in.

Email is back up again. I will switch comments back on over the weekend after I have put some measures in place to try and stop it happening again.
