I have just taken reigns of a site that is using an outdated MT version and have been bombarded by spam in my comments. So much so that its too much for me to block every IP and enough to the point where icdsoft.com's abuse department has said it had to shut off my comment system. I need HELP. I don't know what to do and I got so much crap to clean up.

So... what were you hoping would happen? If it were me, I'd upgrade it to MT 4 or 5, throw a CAPTCHA on there, delete all the old spam, and let it go.
well I didn't know. The site sat idle for over a year before I started working on it. What is a CAPTCHA? there is like 100000 comments spam..... LOL
