This blog post is more of an announcement/inquiry surrounding the guestbook feature on The Ossuary. If you don't use it at all and try to go looking for it, don't bother... I've disabled it completely from the site.

It seems that some Internet spammers have discovered a method to input a lot of crazy code including hundreds of marketing messages in the guestbooks.  My question to all of you is... do you use/enjoy this feature - or better said, have you in the past?  The purpose is for folks to be able to stop by your profile and write a note... but actually people can comment directly on profiles anyway so it may not be necessary.

In any case - please let me know if disabling the feature is a problem for any of you - certainly if it is then let me know and I'll try and find a way to make it more secure while still offering it. If nobody complains then it's gone.

One more thing - please be quick to report any instances of spam that you see in comments, forums or anywhere else... that will not be tolerated and I need to make sure I know about it so I can respond accordingly.
