It's probably a random target that they keep note of for later, or something. -shrug-

Nah they didn't break the captcha. It went like this:
- Spambots spam.
- I change captcha! Spambots stop registering, but continue creating articles.
- I add captcha to anonymous article creation! Spambots start inserting crap into random (popular, judging from the T1 Patch) pages.
YOU ARE HERE
So, if this continues into tomorrow, we can add captchas for anonymous article editing.. but it really bothers me, because we do get good anonymous editors.

The wiki had been vandalised again this morning (i've reverted the edits), but this time it wasn't the spambots, but just someone who seems to have a personal vendetta against Blaziken for some reason.

The spambots haven't been seen since last time, maybe they decided to give up? I hope so.

I made a slight modification to MediaWIki which effectively broke the spambots, so they haven't appeared since. :D

Anyway, banned that person. Apparently, they've been messing with other wikis, too.
