Re: Creative Vandalism
There are two types of people in the world. The first type (to which I belong) will never cast his shadow anywhere it is not welcome.

Re: Someone just deleted the Five Pillars
I think it's safe to say that without open source software such as CluebotNG, Wikipedia would have drowned under vandalism years ago, instead of struggling with the issue as it is now.cyofee wrote:Courtesy of Cyde and open source software.
