Scout Patch Auction Blog Has Returned
Posted in Scouting Blogs and Websites by John E. Pannell on April 3rd, 2007 at 5:16 am Roy More’s Scout Patch Auction blog has returned.
He had previously maintained a blog, commenting on some of the neat finds he would make as he went through collections there. That was until, as he put it, the blog was hacked by the Russian mafia. It seems he was the victim of excessive comment spam and his ISP told him to take the blog down.
Now he’s back online using WordPress as his blogging software. That’s the same program used both here and on Bill Mulrenin’s NY OA Trader blog. We hope he can avoid those pesky Russians this time!

We’re using WordPress, too. The secret seems to be turning on Akismet. We also moderate comments (it seems that you do the same), but have only had to moderate one or two that weren’t legit comments.
I check the Akismet log periodically, as well, and don’t think we’ve ever had a false positive.
What is the url of the Scout Patch Auction Blog? My blog also faced the hacker from russia before. Right now, my blog is going to wordpress software as well.
