This Wiki is about Lisp Machines, machines that are designed to run Lisp as their native language. It has a few "getting started" documents that are intended to help newcomers getting a Lisp Machine emulator running on their modern computer. Other Lisp Machine related material is very welcome.

• 298 spammy user accounts were deleted from the underlying MediaWiki database "user" table.

If you are a legitimate user and you feel your account was deleted by mistake, recreate your account and then add an edit to Deleted Legit Users. I'll see what I can do about restoring your original account details.

The (long overdue) fight against spam is waged in earnest. Some changes to the day to day operation of the site:

• You must have an account to edit or create content on the wiki.
• You may register for an account if you do not have one.
• Account registration requires passing a CAPTCHA (from reCAPTCHA).

In addition, a good deal of content has been deleted in part:

• 548 rows from the underlying MediaWiki database "page" table were deleted manually.
• 156 pages were deleted using the built-in MediaWiki page deletion functionality.

More to come, including removing spam content from the database proper so as to shrink the database and obliterate historical records of spam (which are still viewable). This may disrupt the history, which will be kept to a minimum as regards the history of meaningful edits, but no quarter is given for preserving a perfect record of edits as involves spam.

I wish to especially thank an anonymous contributor from 80.177.11.33, as well as users "Me" and "Twylo", for helping fight the good fight while I was being an absentee administrator. Their help is very, very appreciated. (The users are [currently] not linked here if only to avoid front page links to historical spam content still lurking linked in their contribution records; this content is findable easily enough if you'd like to see these spam fighters in action).
