The problem with MT is that once mt-comments.cgi was requested, the entire Movable Type application was loaded. And my server simply stops responding under comment spam flood (evil bots). Just to provide you some interesting states. I've notice in one no particular minute, there were 114 requests to mt-comments.cgi, and in 12 days period, there were 20555 attempts to flood comment spams. (mine site is not that popular.) As for me, I decided to stay with Movable Type, and my solution was to install mod_security, it works perfectly :-) Well, my MT blog has been hit by comment spam flood.

Congratulations...I'm glad you got it working. :D Just a note, you may want to update to WP 2.0.5, if you haven't already. Updating is a cinch, really. It's like doing an install (and nothing like an import ;) ). Have yet to update mine, but I will within the next hour or two. Here's the link: http://wordpress.org/development/2006/10/205-ronan/ If you haven't edited any of the core files, just delete them and replace with the files from the package. If you have edited any of the core files, then you'll need to put your edits into these files, too. I'm sure there's a way to separate Trackbacks out, I'm using a theme (it's more like a full-fledged mod, though) called K2 and it does that. I'm not a PHP expert, but if you download K2 I'm sure you could pick apart the code and insert it into your own theme. Awesome, though...congratulations on the move!! You even got to keep your comments...I had to leave those behind on my move from LiveJournal to WP. Wow, awesome!! Congratulations...I'm glad you got it working. :D

Currently I'm trying to figure a few more things out (like why in the heck TrackBacks are handled in the admin comments area, how to get mod_rewrite to properly handle all the old URLs, etc.), then I'll try to figure out how to hack the template to get a look I want. At least <a href="http://www.cre8d-design.com/blog/2006/03/27/separating-pingbackstrackbacks-from-comments-in-wordpress-20/">this page</a> will help me separate TrackBacks from comments in my posts.

Perhaps not perfectly though. You used to be able to put a comment (like !--extended--) into the entry block to do what you describe too.
