Jeff Capron wrote in to say he’s written a plugin to use Akismet for vBulletin. The site requires an email to check it out, so I haven’t tried it out myself, but if you use the very popular vBulletin forum software you may want to check this out and let us know how it works [...]
Markus from phpMix.org has put together a really cool Akismet module for Drupal, which is a very flexible content management system. I’ve added it to our development page. If you’re dealing with big communities of submitted content, Drupal + Akismet might be a good bet for you.
phpBB is very popular forum software. Douglas Bell is working on a “mod” to integrate Akismet spam protection with phpBB software, so if that sounds interesting to you go check it out.

For people running dozens or even hundreds of blogs, I can’t imagine how much time Akismet spam protection saves for them and their writers.

Brain Moon has created an Akismet anti-spam mod for Phorum. Brain says “Phorum is the oldest PHP/MySQL message board in existence. Looks great!
Mark at Weblog Tools Collection posts about his Akismet caught spam count – 271,167. He also invites people to share their count in the comments, I guess a button or badge is really needed! Until recently Mark was the most spammed man in the world, Weblog Tools Collection and his personal blog accounted for a [...]
We’ve had quite a few folks ask for some sort of button they could put on their site. Well, one of our users Nigel Kane went ahead and did one, which we’ve put in the FAQ (at the bottom). If anyone else is feeling artistically inclined, go ahead and send us your Akismet button and [...]
