Heya guys, we've been getting enormous amounts of spam from the kdevelop.org contact page lately, due to the switch from reCAPTCHA to the basic math captch in Drupal [1]. There are recurring issues with more complex captcha modules in Drupal which make it difficult to counter spam there so Milian & me decided to remove the contact and (for the same reasons) the ability to post comments on kdevelop.org. With around 10 spam mails arriving via the contact form, 10-20 spam comments arriving /per day/ it's simply not possible to review them and, needless to say, no fun. I just simply rm'd around 1100 Unapproved Comments in Drupal (est. 95%-100% were clearly spam)... So I'd recommend for new KDevelop release posts to just state sth like this at the end of the post from now on: "If you have any remarks or in case you find any issues in KDevelop, please let us [know](https://www.kdevelop.org/support)." Users are then encouraged to post to the KDevelop mailing list, forums or bug tracker instead, where it's easier to counter spam. Hope you understand.
