It was a nightmare two days when trackback spam got the better of the server, and our old web host shut us down indefinitely. They wanted us to remove all MT scripts. But the fact is, it was a particular trackback file that was being attacked. If we removed all our MT scripts, we wouldn't be able to blog. (duh)
I contemplated moving some of us to Wordpress but didn't want to learn a whole new system. Wordpress is intensely easy to install, but I wasn't prepared to help anyone (let alone myself) redesign web pages and grapple with unfamiliar-looking templates. I also didn't want to cause linkrot with a new file naming system for our web pages.
I'm writing this while our DNS is being updated. Feels kinda strange, like I'm incognito.
