Re: Vim Script Spam

The contents (image pixels) of 921798641_e656ca83e8.jpg are exactly the
same as on flickr (diff exit code 0).

http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/aplus/apocalypto/apocalypto3lg.jpg
is the same the one found on vim.org

However the image is also shown here:
http://s980.photobucket.com/albums/ae283/leelator/?action=view&current=apocalypto3lg.jpg&sort=ascending
and this differs. diffing both image contents in gimp shows that the
difference shown in the histogram has level from 0 to 25 and is very
likely caused by jpeg compression because difference seems to be 0 in
the white areas.

Because I found an amazon and a flickr source having exactly the same
image contents I think its unlikely that those two jpegs are compromised in
some way.

I'd still be interested in knowing what happened.

I still have an old database dump (several month old) - so I can try
comparing the database data (authorship etc)

I've been talking about:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1476
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1670

Both were owned by: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BQEBBJgf-dEJ:www.vim.org/account/profile.php%3Fuser_id%3D9483+Lazarus+color+scheme+site:vim.org&cd=10&hl=de&ct=clnk&gl=de
and both are the only scripts of this user (according to that page in
google cache)

note: its a sourceforge.net email address shown three (I CCd him, but
his domain is gone). So I don't expect replies.

Did more such crap (other user accounts?) happen. How did you find out
about them? ZyX told me - I'm unsure how he got to know about them.?
