Leet Speak, Middle Earth Name Generator and Google Washing have been vandalised; Google's cache only has the vandalised versions. Frankly I've given up on trying to keep up with the vandalism on those pages, particularly as they are not terrifically important either to the Wiki or to OUSFG. --TL

Leet Speak's hax0r has identified himself as Ryan Scott and a man with smelly feet. Thank you, we really didn't need to know... --TL 1900GMT 3/2/2004

Leet Speak... need I say more? Fixed. --TL 1647GMT 29/01/2004

Okay, rather a scary Bloody Hooligan modding ER to write something in leet which loosely translated said "you are mocking the word of God, cease and desist or be damned forever!" Now deleted. --TL 1128 GMT 25/01/2004

Bloody Hooligans again: now it's Leet Speak they've targeted for a lark. Um, what is a Nintendo DS, btw? --TL 2029 GMT 22/01/04

Excuse the incomprehensible message aimed at WJR on the Real Soon Now page. Fixed --TL 1214 GMT 16/01/2004

Another Bloody Hooligans message - L337 Sp 3 Ak has just been rescued from someone who thinks we're "mad elite. yo." --TL 1208 GMT 14/01/2004

Gah. Just had to rescue Leet Speak - again - from a fan of Thug Queen M? (??) --TL 1757 EST/2257 GMT 5/1/2004

Happy New Year a-coming my feathered friends. Just hauled Leet Speak out of the mitts of a hax0r!! --TL 2052 EST/0152 GMT 29/12/2003.

Happy Christmas, wikizens: I think someone's created Author Index as a messaround. Someone willing to add something substantial to it? (Soz.) --TL 2223 EST/0323 GMT (!!) 25/12/03

I appear to be battling with a haxx0r who thinks it is funny to replace my delete-mes under Words Squished Together Like So with "I like fat animals." Anyone willing to own up? TL 1808 EST/2308 GMT 15/12/2003

Te X seems to have been vandalised, but the Google cache has only the apparently vandalised page. Anyone aware if there ever was a proper entry?

Rescued Brave Starr from the haxx0rz' clutches, and took the opportunity to rewrite it just a tidge. --TL 1248 EST/1748 GMT

Shee. After a few dalliances with RSI, Nancy Farmer is finally restored from the menace of hackerdom thru the magic of Google Cache. Hope I've got the wikilinks right. --TL 1/12/03 1412 GMT

Whew! Spotted today that of all things MOTD had been erased! Now restored from Google after one false start. Now progressing to fix the other hacked page, Nancy Farmer --TL 1/12/2003 1401 GMT

Delete Me has been meddled with --TL 23/11/2003 (1137 hours GMT) Fixed from Google Cache 1139, but who or what was the mysterious 'Black Knight' who was not to be meddled with? --TL

This is losing its funniness rapidly. Tyler Durden has vanished w/o a trace. TA... need some help here... --TL 22/10/2003 (7pm BST)

Oh, Management, where are you? The Songs Of Distant Earth has been either created as a blank page or erased --TL 22/10/2003

Guys... Google Whack has been, er, whacked by someone last night. Can this be rescued? --TL 20/10/2003 Now fixed. Thanks Google Cache! --TL 30/10/2003

Who or what is COM? No details presented themselves: is this a random orphan creation or something? --TL

Looks like it came from the Sand Box. Now 'Delete Me'd. -AM

Um, can somebody add or replace the current text of URL Escape with something coherent other than a plus sign? --TL 10/10/2003 12pm BST Right, thanks for the fix. --TL 16 Oct 2003

Grr. Some puerile soi-disant wit added a dumb epithet to Fight Club Quotes. All gone now, but just so you know --TL

A Wizard Of Earthsea was hacked and replaced with "gnhngf." Can someone please fix? There is no backed up page on Google.--SDN

MMS was vandalised. It was replaced with a block of text in French that, when Babelfished, said : "The system of Pronto refill is the way simplest to reload your chart prepaid with your credit card. Quite simply, with your error correcting code, you choose between 3 amounts of refill 10, 20 or 50 euros. Then made the code and reload as far as you want where you want. The service is free and available after signature of convention m-trade of Tango to the seat of Tango S.A. in Bertrange, 177, street of Luxembourg." -AM, 1am BST, 19/08/03

ID got vandalized by the peerless "BLAKELAKE12??@YAHOO??.COM." --SDN

Live Journal got vandalized again. I grabbed the backup from Google's cache; please edit if you think it needs it -- SDN (August 4, 12 noon EST)

Battle Tech got vandalised, and was fixed. Notably, the text was replaced with "h4x0rd By Syntheticz" ... "Email: Deslewed@hotmail.com", which makes this probably our first real actual bit of defacement (our visitor hails from nas1p70.clf.htcomp.net, incidentally, and it seems to have taken him three attempts to get his message right). I'm so excited! -- Tom Anderson 13:30 2003-07-10

Oops, someone's made a mess of the Google Whack page. Should it be deleted or amended? --TL (off to Gay Paree in the morning) 19:02 3/7/2003

Um ah yes. I think that page didn't exist before, it's just been scribbled into life. If it did, it's now too late to get recent backups, i think. -- TA 18:19 2003-07-04

Another haxx0r assault: Insane Shit has been replaced en bloc by the word 'fnord' (??). Um, backups please? It was a rather big page... --TL 8:59 17/6/2003 (The Bacon Number page was hacked also; I fixed that--SDN)

Fixed. -- TA

Thunder Cats has now been restored to English from the mangled Babelfish English version someone was kind enough to retrieve after the assault by the Portugal Liberation Front. Translation Hack has been created as a separate page, archiving this curiosity. Wiki retrocedes haxxors' donkeys! -- WJR 15:51 6/6/03

Thunder Cats seems to have been translated into Spanish with no respect for the original text (or non-Spanish speakers). Can we have the original English? --TL 20:08 5/6/2003

Blink and someone messes with the wiki again: can someone put a sensible definition to the Erdos Number page please? --TL 23:27 27/5/2003

I've put up a hybridised Front Page now, incorporating bits of the scrambled text along with the rough skeleton gleaned from a very old back up copy. If I've orphaned anything or left anything too conspicuous out, do correct. -- WJR, 11:55 BST 10:55 WST? 14/05/03

We seem to have had more immature vandals at work on Front Page, Category Category and, bizarrely, Delete Me (perhaps a request in the latter case? :) ) I've restored Delete Me and am about to do Category Category... the Front Page vandalism is weird, it looks as though someone has cut and pasted lines in the wrong order. I'll see if I have a recent copy of it- if not, can someone up to unzipping the history files renovate it? -- WJR 22:30 BST, 21:30 WST? 13/05/03

The Front Page got wiped, and i fixed it. We've lost any changes from today, but i don't think there were any. -- Tom Anderson 30/4/2003 17:41

Revenge of the poop-hacker: the Tyler Durden page, newly created I think, was filled with the words 'i eat poop'. Am I right, or was it a case of Wikivandalism? --TL 22/04/03 21:41

We appear to have had another visitation by the Retarded Hackers' Association around midnight last night- Harry Potter and Live Journal have been hit. Harry Potter I am attempting to recreate, but the original version's probably better- and I've no memory of most of the Live Journal accounts, so can backups be summoned for both? -- WJR 02/04/03 08:21:50

It's odd. They're not even attempting "hackery". They're just wiping text and replacing it with 'poop' and 'ook' with 30 newlines. It still seems to be just misunderstood experimentation. I hope it wasn't my sister. Anyway, both fixed. -AM 12:28 BST, 02/04/03

Some(one/thing) seems to have absconded with the content of Unidentified Flying Objects. Could we have backups? -- William Ramsden 10:59 13/03/03

I checked the latest backup, but it seems that the Unidentified Flying Objects page didn't even exist the day before. I think someone created it as a muck-about with the Wiki - AM

Another bit of Wiki Vandalism? - some haxxor has made off with the Live Journal page. Could backups be put up? --Thea Logie 10:41 9/4/2003

Done, although i think we should pause briefly to reflect on the irony of the Live Journal page being completely content-free. -- TA 13:35

We had a bit of Wiki Vandalism recently; it was minor, and quickly and easily fixed. I take this as evidence that we can survive in the Wild WWW even though Wiki Is Open. Nonetheless, it has reminded me of the pressing need for Wiki History. -- Tom Anderson 11:38 23/1/2003
