2005-09-29 - Spam Attack

The wiki is currently under a massive spam/defacement attack. The attacks are coming from mostly random IPs, making it difficult for us to cope with it. We're currently working on a blacklisting mechanism. After the attack is contained we will revert the spammed pages back to their last good state, so you don't need to revert any of the malicious changes right now.

The wiki remains usable, so this attack shouldn't discourage you from contributing.

Update 2005-09-30 The attack is under control and all malicious edits have been reversed.
