Earlier today this post got linked by Instapundit. Apparently something like 20 readers tried to comment at once which caused my host to freak out. They suspended my site until I disabled the comments on that post.

Once I got the site back up, however, I had to attend to some personal business and haven't gotten back on until this evening. Now it seems as though, while I have the comments enabled, they aren't working. Apparently the comments script has been disabled by my host.

I have an email in to them asking for it to be re-enabled. Hopefully they'll be working again soon.

In the mean time, is there any way to make posting comments lest taxing on my host?

Update:

Comments back up. Hopefully for good.
