I'm with David when it comes to BuddyPress. It looks really cool, and I'm excited to check it out when I have some free time.

But I just haven't found any projects to use it on yet, I think you need a decently active community to get the most value of of a BuddyPress install.

You almost had me stumped this week Jeffro, and it's still a bit of a trick question! Archive.org has two samples from October 31st 2005, so i went with the later one that says "45,390 spams caught so far,  8,626 so far today".

That probably sounded like a pretty scary number of spam on Halloween, to think that 4 years later Akismet would be blocking over 2 million of the nasty lil buggers every day!
