The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Anyone else getting this?

So I've been browsing several different wikis (MLP, One Piece, Naruto, Metal Gear, even Land Before Time to name a few) and each one of them has had this strange pop up written in all Japanese lettering. I used Google Translate to make find out what it was saying and roughly it translates to "This community is asking the post of your such a fan! Let's edit the article."

Now I probably would have brushed it off if it was something that just popped up on wikis for eastern franchises like Metal Gear or One Piece but it's even popped up on wikis for western brands like MLP or Land Before Time. I doubt this thing is supposed to be showing up so I wonder if either 1. It's a new feature that's been/being installed on all Wikis (unlikely). 2. There's a virus or something on Wikia (possibly). Or 3. My computer has Malware on it that's making it pop up (also possible but seeing as how I didn't find anything out of the ordinary when I checked My Computer, I don't think it's that.
