It’s been a while since I wrote anything here, but here are two important announcements for anyone running the .org version of Wordpress.
Firstly, WordPress 2.6 is now out. There are, as usual, lots of new things in this release and they ae all listed here. One thing I noticed is that I have had to add to my .htaccess file because all my previous URLs stopped working. For example, the URL to this post is http://www.lostaddress.org/2008/07/17/wordpress-26-spam-karma-2/ and under the previous release of WP, the URL would have been http://www.lostaddress.org/index.php/2008/07/17/wordpress-26-spam-karma-2/ - spot the difference? If you were using a similar method, make sure you check your links! So download it, install it and check out the changes (and fix things where necessary).

I am a member of a few forums. All of these forums are well moderated and are free of the outside influences such as spam, warez and cracking. But why?
It could be argued that simply by joining a forum, the members (or community) would feel bound by the rules and spirit of that online forum to “be good”. After all, if they didn’t want to abide by the rules, they wouldn’t have joined, surely. Unfortunately, in these days of internet saturation, that is a somewhat naive notion - sorry.
All forums have rules and regulations, from simple one liners to fully thought out terms of conditions (along with sub-clauses and roman numerals). However, if the owners do not take steps to ensure these rules are followed and adhered to absolute chaos ensues and the people you want to be on the boards abandon you and your forum is unusable and empty of real members.

At least, that’s what I think it’s called. When a blog uses your content on another site. I keep getting pingbacks from blogs with the following text:
