[[User:Instant Karma]] recently made a posting to [[User Talk:Jimbo Wales]] titled "The End Is Nigh", making a series of demands of Wikipedia (such as the removal of most sex-related material, the addition of an attempt to keep minors out of whatever remains in that area, and the removal of most pop-cultural stuff including reducing mention of Star Trek to a single article). It concluded with a threat of unspecified retribution of a "Doomsday Machine" nature which would allegedly result in the destruction of Wikipedia. Just thought you ought to know that we're allegedly all doomed now... :-)
Haven't I heard this one before?

It caused quite a stir, but September 1, 2004 passed without incident. Hey, maybe it's the same guy! OMG, maybe he's actually *got* a network of proxies and compromised machines this time! The end is nigh!
