*The new Mollom.com website design.*
*The old Mollom.com design that we used from 2007 to early 2012.*
*Different protection modes in the Drupal module for Mollom.*
*Mollom's end-of-life announcement that replaced the old https://mollom.com.*
*This image illustrates how the Drupal module for Mollom blocks comment spam. If you're working on a Mollom plugin for your favorite CMS, this is how we recommend that you use the Mollom API. Click this link for a larger version of the image that is easier to read.*

*The Y-axis shows the number of requests per second. The X-axis shows the day of the month. The graph is for one Mollom server only.*
*Based on a sample of roughly 2,000 Drupal sites that use Mollom.*
*The plot illustrates that having a classifier with three states avoids false positives and false negatives. The plot is generated from the actual data in Mollom's database.*
*The plot illustrates that having a binary classifier with only two states \(ham and spam\) is bound to make mistakes. The plot is generated from the actual data in Mollom's database.*
*A photo of the Mollom team at an offsite in 2011: it includes Daniel Kudwien, Benjamin Schrauwen, Cedric De Vleeschauwer, Thomas Meire, Johan Vos and Vicky Van Roeyen. Missing in the picture is Dries.*
*Selling Mollom to Acquia involved signing a lot of documents. A photo of me signing the acquisition paperwork with Mary Jefts, Acquia's CFO at the time. It took three hours to sign all the paperwork.*
