[Fluxus] Fluxus Pawfaliki

[Dan Bethell]

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the heads up. I've locked the pages as you suggest and also  
blocked the IPs although that doesn't seem to stop the machines for

We like the nature of wiki too and I'll have a chat with dave about  
how we can stop this happening more.

cheers,
dan
