Pingback functionality in Subtext does not work

[jeremy-jameson]

It looks like the pingback functionality in Subtext has not worked in quite a while. Shortly after migrating my blog to Subtext, I started encountering errors like:

System.Web.HttpException: The file '/blog/jjameson/Services/Pingback.aspx' does not exist.

Do you use this functionality or should we just remove it? :)

I am not currently displaying pingbacks, but that doesn't mean that I don't ever want to show these. I think you should keep it. Others may want to show pingbacks and it also is a nice "checkmark" to have when comparing blog engines (or when somebody is thinking about writing his or her own blog application).

The reason I'm hesitant is that most people I know turn them off because they were such a huge avenue of spam. They became spam city.
