That's really wonderful to have 10,412 comment spams in just 2 days! Thanks to AKISMET the are all caught in my wordpress weblog.

Sometimes people cry in the forum that they got a huge spam attack just right after installing new Pixelpost version. I want to say them that this is not due to new Pixelpost but it's about new SPAMers on the net! I got these huge number of spams just after intalling Wordpress 2.0.2 and this spam problem isn't related to the version of WP at all.

cheers for Akismet addon.

and they are getting creative - I was fooled by the last one I got - it said
"Comment: I'm enjoying your photoblog! I love it when photographers comment on the circumstances and choices they have to make for each photo. You were brave on this one! But it is a wonderful, wonderful shot -- your photos are so alive!

Damn! I would be very pleased if someone actually meant that for my pictures.

Cheers for Akismet

Wow, the bandwidth for that must be huge.

Until I get a chance to install Akismet (I'm planning on doing so), I'm currently having all comments moderated, before going live... of course... I don't have 10k spams in 2 days, just yet. ;)
