It was a crappy requirement, who wants to register with a random blog just to leave a comment? So I turned it off, and the only purpose it’s served since then is to provide a useless vector for spammers.

Since I wasn’t using that data for a honeypot or anything, I’m just turning it off and removing all the accounts, even the few legitimate ones. They’re just not needed anymore.

I’ll be relying on Akismet for now; if that doesn’t work, in the future I’ll require an OpenID.
