Been keeping my lj open to anonymous posters so that Chuck, anhh, Scott, and several people I know only under the name "Anonymous" can post comments. I hope to keep it that way, while contending with the spambots as best I can. This generally isn't too hard: mostly the spambots find some old thread and hit it with one or two or bomb it with a lot, and when I get the chance at the end of the day I delete the spam or, if the spam's really numerous, simply lock the thread temporarily. Doesn't really matter, since very few people ever make their way to my old threads. [EDITORIAL COMMENT: Um, you should. Frolic around with the tags over on the lower right. UPDATE: Or lower left if you're on Dreamwidth.] Sometimes I actually enjoy rediscovering an old conversation I'd have forgotten if the spambots hadn't drawn me back.
Problem now is that the spambots are consistently finding my most recent threads, which I'd like to keep open no matter what. Poor Lakeside is getting strafed by 50 or so spammies a day. I don't want to lock my new threads, but I'm not always able to get online, or when I am online, don't always have time to check my inbox. So if you drop by, you might see a lot of dreck down various threads. But don't be afraid to comment, if you get the urge. I'll clear out the spam comments soon enough, and'll be careful not to delete yours.

Date: 2013-09-30 12:11 pm (UTC)The other thread they're still hot on is "What does not chill me makes me stronger (Z.Hera, Baek Ji Young, BoA)," which I'm keeping open because I've linked it recently (is the one where, on June 8, David Frazer embedded a fancam of the first live, street performance of "Bar Bar Bar" a couple of weeks prior to its release).
When I do lock a thread, I always include a note that I'll unlock it if anyone wants to post, and I include my email addy (edcasual at earthlink dot net). So I don't know what my reticence is about locking that one. Sentimentality, I suppose.

I only know about it because someone posted it on the reddit K-Pop forum.
P.S. On the comments to another upload of the MV, someone speculates that three members might have been replaced.
