The idea of uploading BJAODN to a Wikia site is a blatant infringement of the GFDL. I can see why he would remove a thread condoning it, even if it wasn't the best approach.
I don't know how you can vandalize BJAODN. The place is a cesspool of unfunny jokes and is essentially the vandal's hall of fame.

Can we reel in this rogue admin now, before he does any more damage?
It's also kind of silly considering the database dumps from two weeks ago are still up at http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20070402/ and presumably have the complete BJAODN archives to that point in them if someone wants to dig them out and clean them up for restoration. http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20070527/ has a current version dump that completed yesterday so I'm not sure whether the very latest edition of BJAODN would be available but for a set of pages this old it's probably not a big deal losing the most recent two weeks.
Wikimedia itself is distributing these supposed "copyvio" pages, it's hardly something that can be suppressed like that.
