Another side effect of the contest, which has also probably been influenced by the new spambot for wordpress, is that I am getting about 10-12 times the number of spam comments each day as I did before the contest.
In the past month, I have gotten over 4000 spam comments, compared with the couple of hundred I had had prior to the contest and since upgrading to wordpress 2.0.
Akismet has done a good job of catching about 95%+ of them. Only a dozen or so got through Akismet, and only a few of those got through my moderation queue.
