I upgraded my WP 2.1 to 2.9 months ago. I found that after the upgrade, I get a lot of SPAM comments. Believed me when I was on WP2.1, I hardly get any SPAM because I used my own filtering.
Today I get SPAM every day. I would have thought that the new upgrade would tighten security but it does not. Now I have to scratch my head to think of a good way to fight against SPAM.
I was forced to upgrade because the PHP upgrade will no longer support old version of WP 2.1.
Now WP3.0 is available, should I go for it?
