This is why we can't have nice things. Linkspammers took advantage of a little-used feature ("trackbacks") and stuffed the poor little AE database full of 150MB of linkspam. I cleared it out, disabled the feature (which I'd done, and then undone without knowing it) and now things should be more worky again. Except for trackbacks -- that's gonna stay busted for the forseeable future.
