I leave my comments opened for a year, but I think I'll extend that a couple more years. :) Great point. I leave my comments opened for a year, but I think I’ll extend that a couple more years.

I used to turn of comments (not that I get that many hehe) because of spam, and then installed some form of Captcha, but I tossed that all out of the window with Akismet. I believe someone should not have to jump through hoops to leave a comment, and that a Captcha can stop people from commenting. To accomplish this I have to check the spam caught by Akismet, not a big deal. Akismet does a great job.

I haven't turned off comments in over a year now. Akismet has blocked 11,000 comments. Before I discovered Akismet, turning off comments was my approach.
