Ah, grasshopper, just wait until you have to deal with hundreds of trackback spams at once. It can't handle them, unless you go get the plugin. It can't handle them either, but it adds the pretence of trying. Random perl module warnings dumped to the screen? We got 'em! And if you're really keen to see it at its best, try changing the email address of a registered user in MT. Look! You can't! They didn't bother writing user account editing *at all* ! Still, who needs basic admin functions when you can have poorly-written Javascript? Hate, hate, hate, HATE Movable Type. jh

It's stunning how much less of that sewer you need to wade into once your campus is convinced by your web services dep't that PHPBB is really the shit. Morons. I almost never touch our news server anymore, and although I grant that it was meant to be relatively hands-off from the start, I'm pretty sure it's mainly because only about 5 aging grad students use Usenet anymore.
