Part of the reason was that nobody ever pinged us in the whole first four months (and it's not likely to ever change) and part of the reason was that it was such an obvious security problem. If I ever do turn them back on, it won't be until Six Apart does something to make them more secure. It's Six Apart's problem to deal with because it's their "innovation" (that they're now going to be adding to Live Journal which is going to make trackback spamming all that much more enticing) and if all it's going to do is make them look bad, they need to do something about it. Good luck in your efforts. Love, Hanna I ended up just turning off trackbacks on our site.
