Wikiverse.org, limited progress
Because I have had no success in discussing things with "Kate" of
wikiverse.org regarding their spamming of every single website we link
to, I have decided to escalate this and get their website shut down by
their ISP.

I have no idea whether 'hostingspot.biz' will help us out, but if they
don't we can surely escalate to their upline providers, including
abac.net and level3.net until someone does help.

Taking our free content, and using it to spam, it's horrible.

I should add that most of the people who complain to me about this,
the victims of the spam, are under the impression that wikiverse.org
is either *us* or *authorized by us*.

wikiverse does little to correct this misimpression, and much to
further it, including claims that their content is hosted in Florida,
which is not true as far as I can tell.

Maybe put a notice about it on en.wikipedia.
