[wp-hackers] Database padded with junk content

[Otto]

I believe that turning them off on the admin panel will make it stop
loading those, because those are pulled from the system via an AJAX
request, causing the site to then go to pull the feeds in. Without it
showing those boxes, the AJAX request never occurs, never triggering
WP to go and get the news feed.
