When I looked earlier, some spammers were trying to create multiple wiki accounts a second, slowing the site to a crawl due to the way MoinMoin stores user data. The accounts themselves are useless without the ability to make any edits, but I assume they must be making a little bit of money selling (useless) account credentials... Over 50,000 accounts created just in the past week, on just one of the wikis. With MoinMoin 1.9 essentially dead, and the next development version quite moribund, I think it is time for me to move to another wiki, where the worst case for lookups is O(log(N)), not O(N).
