Akismet Plugins Archive

Since no older versions of famous WordPress spam protection plugin Akismet seem to be available (anymore?) even though this can be useful yet necessary, I decided to offer several former Akismet variants for download (your API key may get all excited):
- Akismet 1.14 (ZIP, 4 KB)
- Akismet 1.15 (ZIP, 8 KB)
- Akismet 1.2.1 (ZIP, 9 KB)
- Akismet 2.0 (ZIP, 10 KB)
- Akismet 2.0.2 (ZIP, 11 KB)
- Akismet 2.1.3 (ZIP, 11 KB)
- Akismet 2.1.4 (ZIP, 12 KB)
While I intend to maintain and extend this collection unless Matt puts in a veto, all files are provided without guarantee again. They look fine though, and versions 1.14 and 1.2.1 have actually been in use on this site.
The reason to post this sort of archive was that I still use an older version of WordPress, and current Akismet just doesn’t work with it. Search for former Akismet releases was a little bit frustrating, but interestingly, quite some people did not just leave their plugin folders unprotected but yet their original plugin archives in it (check some Google results). This investigation resulted in the files listed above – and a newer Akismet version that worked for my site.
