Hi Dark,
Sure. One way to keep the blog and kill the spam is just to go into
Wordpress and disable comments/posting altogether. That way we could
have the blog but spammers couldn't comment/post seeing as I disabled
the feature. However, the general impression I'm getting from people who
posted on this thread is that they simply don't like blogs to begin
with. In that case its not exactly of any benefit to us or our customers
if the method of posting news is in a format that is unpopular.
That said, I've tried to keep the amount of clutter down to a bare
minimum. Just a simple blog with news, articles, and/or some ideas I'm
working on. Having audio capchas etc just over complicates the system I
had in mind. So in this case the simpler the better I think.

Audio captures I don't find too bad, but one for each comment is a bit
of a pest when your having a discussion that you really could as
easily do by mail or forum, indeed even without captures having to
constantly reenter your details and check a load of boxes for random
stuff is often more time consuming than bjust banging off a quick mail
or forum reply.
I also personally am very much not a fan of the amount of clutter,
related links, previous posts by month, links to similar blogs and
wordpress, feedburner and goodness knows what else that some blogs
have, indeed I sometimes find it dam hard to read the last entry if
there is too much random other stuff on the page, though this of
course varies from blog to blog and the usa games one certainly is
fine for this.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
