Just a possible heads-up to the militia: the conversion process did not carry over the list of blocked IPs from the old site, so we are in fact running naked at the moment. I imagine those we blocked have moved on, but I thought I'd give you a heads up so that if you see what looks like an old familiar vandal, it probably is an old familiar vandal, and we'll just have to block him again.
