That's good news. I hope the patches get incorporated soon, it's been
a little quiet over on the usemod site regarding further updates.

You certainly have a lot of spam, but then you actually have some
content :) I think I'll just cheat and add a few Interwiki links to
your site...

I notice you use a lot of sub-page links, I haven't decided how I feel
about them yet. They feel restrictive but there's no denying that
they're a good way to keep things better organised.
