This blog has been hosted at mozillaZine for most of its life and before that I was a regular mozillaZine-er. I'm attached to this place for nostalgic reasons but I'm about to move on because of a change in the MT install. With a recent update, the "Accept Comments" checkbox changed from being a "don't accept any more comments, but leave the ones that are there as they are" to a "hide existing comments and don't accept new ones." That seems OK at first but as it turns out the overwhelming majority of the spam that hits my comments are on older posts that no longer get new relevant comments and so I'd save myself a whole bunch of spam culling and moderation if I could just close older posts to new comments. Right now, doing that hides all of the existing comments. Is there some way around that? Is there a change in prefs somewhere or a change I can make to my templates to preserve existing comments while disabling new ones? If I can't solve this, I'll have to move this blog to my personal domain and hosting where I can manage it with WordPress more effectively. Any help is appreciated.
