WAM is purely convenience and ease of managing multiple secure folders, plus other nice features like adding code to block "bad bots." The cpanel interface is a lot klunkier and harder to remember what folders are set for which user ids and such. If you only have one folder or two to protect WAM might be overkill.

This is only peripherally on-topic but it relates to Wordpress, plug-ins and security. I've been testing the Akismet anti-spam plug-in for a couple of months, now. I used to have all comments on my blog moderated and I would get sometimes a dozen spam comments a day. Really got to be a pain wading through them.

Akismet has now caught over 800 spam comments, and only one questionable one has gotten through in over two months. I'm confident enough now in its abilities that I've removed moderation from comments.

There have been absolutely no issues with .htaccess, or anything else for that matter. Seamless, simple and effective.

I really like the CC forum, I wish CC published a forum software like this one. It would be a great addition to their product line.

Awesome Spinny, thanks so much for that info as I was wondering how effective it was too. :)
