Just a quick update...some idiot unleashed a spambot on the wiki. I deleted about ten of their pages manually before saying "screw this" inside my head and installing the Nuke extension, then nuked the rest of their pages in a single batch. (Fortunately, I was able to respond in less than thirty minutes. Hooray for RSS readers!) Of course, the spammer itself has been banned, as has another user with a suspiciously similar name.

However, there are still a bunch of junk edits to existing pages, and I need some sleep. So if any of the Militia (Lexus and VFP) have time, could you guys go on Special:RecentChanges and roll back some of the edits I haven't gotten yet? (Pretty much, it's just see which edits were made by this user and hit the "[rollback]" link.)

Just as a heads up to anyone attempting to clean the wiki, the templates have been edited to put malicious links on the pages they appear on.
EDIT: They're fixed now.
EDIT 2: Okay, I just went through and manually reverted any unreverted changes made by our friend the spambot (boy there were a lot of them). The wiki should be fine now.

Also, you appear to have some spam on your forums, CK (the user mkp).

I don't think it's spam. His/her posts seem to be on-topic. I just think there's a language barrier thing going on.

EDIT: Never mind. You're right. It is spam. The original messages seem to have been edited after 5 days to include spam links. Pretty impressive, actually... Crazy
