Over at SimpleFilter we've been under a massive spam attack for the past day or so. In a way I'm happy that we have the spammers thinking they are getting ahead of the game but really all it managed to do was take some of the stuff that Brent and I had on the backburner to implement sometime soon and move it up the priority scale.

So, some of the new items we've implemented over the past day have allowed the servers to run much more efficiently than before.

Instead of adding more and more servers to handle the load it looks like we can probably cut back on our plans to expand the number of servers in the farm!!

Thanks spammers, bring it on, we appreciate the opportunity to make SimpleFilter even better than it already is sooner than we had planned.
