Why would someone click on something that's been hacked? Isn't that potentially a terrible idea?

More importantly, why would anyone want to hack a wiki?

Vandalism on August 21st 2011 - the Lexicanum was defaced by some hackers. We restored a backup copy from August 20. Sadly, all changes made since August 20 were lost

Seems to be fixed already

Anyone has a screenshot of the bird?

Because: hack != virus, and even if it does it's not everyone who runs windows (and even if you do you gotta have a reason for that Anti-Virus eating your RAM).

It's still a potentially bad idea.

Do you remember that time that thing happened?

His first indication it was hacked was probably when it went to a picture of a bird. I doubt he did it intentionally.

Right, but coming here and linking to it wasn't unintentional.

OK good points all!

And apparently, Lexicanum's been un-hacked.

Or de-hacked.

Or something...
