Wow, Darwinbots is great.  Just thought I'd drop by to say hi.

Nope, I'm curious to see what he does.  The forums are fairly safe from anything but a bit of spamming.  That's easy enough to fix.

well considering that he doesn't know his login name any more, I doubt he is going to be able to do much.

I have added his IP address and email to the ban list. If you want to re-enable it then go ahead.

usually they are simple trolls looking for attention ...
sad, lame, lonely people who are best ignored ...
it's then no fun for them.

btw, what was the IP address?
if you don't mind. ;)
once Num gets the wiki back ...
he might be able to see if they match ...
or if other wiki spam came/comes from the same IP.
might then also check with other wiki admins which have been vandalized.

passed on the wiki problem to an admin I know who runs wikicities to see
if she has any suggestions but she's out of town this week ...
so we will see.

I checked the IP addresses and they didn't match, but I still think it's the same guy.  I mean, what are the chances of two completely unrelated trolls appearing where non were before with 24 hours of each other?

Well it ain't gonna be much use to anybody else.

It's on the banned list right now.  :D

If any legitimate users find they can't get on now please go to the old forum or my MMORPG forum and post there to let me know.

I see someone posted from that IP on the Wiki Main Talk page at 13:30, 12 Oct 2005 (MST) ...
stating that they hadn't blanked anything ...
http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index...=Talk:Main_Page
 
I couldn't find any other contributions from that IP there.

Could be two different griefers.  That's quite amazing, and would force me to consider why all of the sudden we're getting so many (okay, 2 isn't too many, but that's 2 more than we had before!)
