I know this isn't directly related to Zeros, but I don't know where else to post it and zeromanual.com isn't allowing me to log in.

Under the "Common Modifications" page, there's a long paragraph of gibberish. It probably wasn't written by a human, at least not a sane one. And it definitely wasn't written by anyone who speaks English. It has sentences like: " Its like men and women aren't interested except it is something to do with Girl gaga!"

Yeah, I see:


"What i don't realize is actually how you are now not really a lot more neatly-favored than you may be now. You are so intelligent. You realize therefore considerably when it comes to this subject, made me in my view believe it from so many numerous angles. Its like men and women aren't interested except it is something to do with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs great. Always handle it up!"


And if nobody can log in to get rid of it, we could have a problem there.

When I try to log in, it denies me, as if I entered the wrong user/password.

The site had been hacked a couple of years ago, and then fixed and cleaned up. This appears to be an overlooked piece of spam that wasn't cleaned up properly.

I've deleted that initial blurb identified above. It's hard for me to know if that's all there is, though - searching for spam keywords is hard to make comprehensive.

I believe the site logins are now fairly restricted to avoid the problem recurring, but I'm unsure how it can be fixed without the site owner's involvement to truly upgrade the software (MediaWiki).

I should say that I'll post a status update about myself personally at some point, but for now I'll say that I've had really terrible migraines for the last few years that aren't letting up, so it's been difficult to engage in after-working-hours projects requiring long term thinking. I have a bunch of projects that are sitting a bit dormant that are highly relevant to this forum.

As many probably remember, though, that even without headaches, I am not too much a fan of forum discussions, or with some members of this community being held in what I think is an unreasonable regard. So, I'm not going to step in much at least on this site.

I am glad to see you posting here again!
