Enjoy summer vacation while you still have it. I haven't had free time like that since the summer of 1976, and the last time I had a vacation over one week long was 1994. Of course, all that only says I'm getting old :cry:

Summer 1976...it's Montreal's olympics in my mind. :D

Don't worry rpapo. I'm striving to compete against other people to try entering a college.

What, me worry? I wasn't worrying. I was just rubbing it in that you don't have much more summer vacation left to enjoy. :P

In light of the recent spam account creation problem:

I suggest that until a solution (ie: captcha, question, whatever) is implemented, we disable account creation temporarily.

A message of apology, explaining the situation as well, on the account registration page would be a good move along with this.

Nobody can do that except for the Big Boss...who's probably living somewhere on Kame Island, and we don't have a way to get there...

No one has his e-mail for emergency situations? None of the High-admins?
Spoiler! :
Somebody dial up Master Roshi and tell him to pass the phone over to TLG.

Worse...his email is out of range. It takes the occasional mail to actually get through to him.

To quote Oni:
Big Boss resides in the golden hall of heroes in the red forbidden city of bakatsukigrad. Only his inner circle is allowed inside. Even then, to find the dear leader we must search the empty city for he does not like to seat in any one place,this playing an epic game of hide and seek. First to find him, will be granted a boom of unimaginable desire... but only after we find the 7 bakatama of power....stuff.

I managed to contact him recently, though. Got a mail some days after the ALF had its sections.

Yeah, he even came to the ALF organisation thread to give its agreement, if I remember well. :)

Is it just me or is the attack still continuing?

You're right, they are still registering but still not able to post anything.
Btw : I just can't understand the point to it...
As spam bots, they should try and vandalize the wiki, but they just keep registering without editing anything or creating any new pages ^^''

Registration is only the first phase. After that when the time is right if multiple accounts were to simultaneously edit different pages it would become harder to fix the changes. At least that's what I think the person behind it is doing.

Meh, just messing around. If someone is able to enter the Bakatsukigard and find the Big Boss, tell him to give this a shot, or provide someone with FTP access that have (time + skills) * love for B-T that could mess the wiki around.
