So the new post is ready to be, err, posted. The URL for the current sticky post that's to be zapped is http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-biographia-problem-please-read-this-first-before-posting ... let me know when you've done deleting and I'll post the replacement up.

Thanks again

-Gary

I'll get a new post up and suitably sticky over the weekend (it's coming to the end of a long long week over here in the UK) and then let you know the URL of the one to be deleted and you can work your admin magic.

I could unset the sticky flag and gradually let the post float downwards as people post new stuff and create a new sticky post to supercede the original ... but is there any way I can edit/update a sticky post that I've posted (and which is on a forum for a plugin that I've written)?

I figured it would probably be server-specific but it does give one more
avenue of investigation when everything else has been exhausted.

We've also been getting a lot of this spam on the quirm.net forums. I
did some rough IP checking about 2 weeks ago but couldn't even pin it
down to a given block. My guess is that this is some kind of spam farm.
