Tassen brought it to my attention today, but there have been a number of bots spamming the shoutbox area on blogs. This did not affect most people, but those who did not have their reply access set to registered users received tons of inappropriate messages.

I apologize for the screwup here; especially since I thought I had fixed it. However, from this point on, members will not be able to choose who can view their blog or who can reply to their blog. All access is now restricted to registered members only. This change should only affect 68 members.

If you would like your blog access changed such that guests can view it, you must contact me directly. But be aware that spam bots are constantly trying to attack the site.

So "friends only" doesn't work anymore?

Good point. I'll mess around with things later today to make it so that is an option.
