That is an awesome news. I hope more and more companies start using B2evo with the latest version which will be released soon with all the anti- SPAM features.

Question: Are these companies putting anything (people or money) in to development?

It would be nice if they contributed, even if it's just allowing their own developers to add features work on it a bit during office time.

If not, can someone ask?

I for one cannot wait until the new version with the antispam features is released. I am running 0.92 currently, and I received over 100 spam comments this weekend alone!

Great engine apart from the spam though!

Charlie, why don't you install the Capcha plugin? Works like a charm... I was flooded with spam too, after installing it, the spam stopped :-)

I want their skin ;-)

That's a nice skin!!

It looks like the blogs at Scientific American (http://blogs.sciam.com/) are using some flavor of b2.
