Off-topic, may Ace forgive me, but something I've been meaning to throw out there for a long time:

Ace: (don't comment on old posts!)

Pixy may be the Dollar Store discount blog software from yesteryear, but it seems like, if the Pixyman can modify the software to ban IPs of folks who innocently, ignorantly comment on old posts, that it would be just as much or as little work to simply disable commenting on old threads.

After all, AoS has managed to have the software modified such that certain words can't be posted, links don't link, no media can be imbedded (not complaining on that one, just noting), and we can't even use color text or anything more than b, s, i, and u tags. So the software seemingly *can* be modified to order. But I've only been a programmer since '78, so I'm no authority. (But I do sympathize with the pain of reworking old code.)

And do we really still need IMG (in lower case) banned?

/end rant, sorry for long off-topic
