[Nanog-futures] NANOG Wiki taken over by outsiders (Yes, I already sent an email to Richard)

[Joe Provo]

It has been this way for ages. Auto account creation 
was spamifying it into uselessless since at least 2009. 
After unspamming and reporting a couple times and the 
contact address I used for contributing getting placed 
on loads of spammer lists, I just presumed it was another 
dead project. Given that there was no collective management, 
common content sandards, or structure it was kinda stumbling 
anyway.
