| There is no "speculation" here, a human cannot rename twenty pages to random strings and then blank them all in one minute, and that's exactly what was happening in the last week at [[Recyclopedia]], over and over again. That was a [[vandalbot]] attack, and no one watching it could say any different. | | There is no "speculation" here, a human cannot rename twenty pages to random strings and then blank them all in one minute, and that's exactly what was happening in the last week at [[Recyclopedia]], over and over again.

| :I recall you previously claiming that the attacks lasted for several months and my personal experience as a user of [[Recyclopedia]] contrasts this claim that you made and now you have revised your story. How can I trust you on the above claim. --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 14:33, 26 Jan 2005 (EET)

| The Anarcopedia's policy effort builds on prior efforts at [[Recyclopedia]] - an attempt to build a [[large public wiki]] without use of [[sysop]] powers at all. This failed however when many pages were renamed, censored, attacked, vandalized and moved by overt supporters of [[Wikimedia]] - ''this is not disputed'' - who had preferential access to [[vandalbot]] technology developed by [[Tim Starling]], - ''this is not disputed'' - a notable advocate of [[technological escalation]] - likely to prevent the [[New Troll point of view]] from spreading. The Recyclopedia failed, and evidence of the above was largely removed from view.

| :Ooh, a conspiracy theory! (All completely unproven and probably unprovable, of course, like any good conspiracy theory. . .) Duder, a computer-literate adolescent could have done what you describe. He wouldn't need to be a Wikimedia supporter, he wouldn't need Tim Starling's help, and he wouldn't necessarily have to have any motivation apart from a cheap thrill—all he would need is competence in a scripting language (Javascript would probably suffice) and a working knowledge of MediaWiki.
