hi,

yeah, i had to disable them a couple of days ago due to a bot army that has attacked (and virtually taken down) the supersized.org blogs with trackback spam. this caused so much load, that the page response times got unacceptably high.

will inform you once it's back up - sorry, there's nothing i can do about this (except buying more servers - if somebody wants to donate, feel free ;) )

Because a blog without trackbacks is sooo annoying :-(

still blocked, sorry. until i have the time to implement some antispam-measures (which is kind of hard for a service that is meant to be automated) - i'll let you guys know.

sorry :roll:

sorry to hear this - but stability first!

BTW, what is about updating the plugins on supersized?
