Seems Club Josh got hammered by a bot that posts spam comments. Of course, I just discovered this right before leaving for work so there is not much I can do right now. However, I will be installing a new version of MT that will help stop the spam. v3.0 will be released soon and it will force people who comment to register. Im not that big of a fan of that, but I'm sure my regular set of commenters won't mind that little extra step (hopefully!). In the mean time, I'm afraid I am going to have to go through all 454 posts and disallow commenting. Ugh, that is going to take forever!!!!!!! I have to go through most of them anyway since it looks like the spammers got to almost every post in the archives.

If you're not averse to mucking directly with your MT database (assuming it's in MySQL), such can be done with a single SQL statement to the effect of
UPDATE mt_entry SET entry_allow_comments = 0 WHERE entry_blog_id = [your blog ID number here]
But don't hold me to that, and back up your database before doing anything to it directly. ;)
