Hey guys, I currently use Nucleus as my blogging software, but after reading a certain post, I find that the majority of people prefer WordPress over any blogging softwares out there. Anyway, I want to know whether any of the WordPress users have received comment spam. You know, from "people" such as "free online poker." I used Nucleus to power my blog, but I got comment spam a couple of months ago. Then, I found a plugin that makes my visitors type in characters to match randomly selected characters. The plugin is called Captcha. You might have seen a similar one in action when registering for accounts on the web such as Yahoo! or Gmail. Well, when I installed Captcha, I have noticed that people stopped commenting on my articles, but if I remove Captcha, then I get comment spam. Bad situation. I want to switch to WordPress because so many people recommend it, and it says on its front page that it has comment spam protection. I just wanna know how accurate and strong this "protection" is. Thanks!!

I haven't had any comment spam yet...then again, not too many people know about my new web address yet. I guess the advertisers will find it eventually.

Also, WordPress also has a bunch of other features that a standard blog has that Nucleus lacks such as trackbacking. I've never tried angelinecms or simplog. My only log program that I have used/is using is Nucleus. Anyways, I'm trying out Nucleus now, and I'll let you guys know how it goes.

or potential kernel hackers - just balanced and normal, every-day linux users. So I was wondering if
we could have a separarate sub group called the Trap17 LUG, perhaps a new board or a plain mailing
