Huh? Where did you see that? It's true that there is a lot of spam to
the lists, but it's all filtered before it goes into the "official"
archive:

  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/adonthell-devel/
  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/adonthell-general/

I've seen that other places that mirror the lists sometimes get the
spam, but not sure if there is much to be done about that.

Depending on where you happened across the spam, this could be an option.

There had been a news archive while the perl code was still working,
but now that everything is static, it's kind of hard to keep old news
without letting the page grow too much. I could maybe offer one
archive page that will grow infinitely and move all the old stuff
there. Need to dig out the old stuff from CVS first, however :-).

I want to do that once the map for the Waste's Edge remake is far
enough. The first highlights to show would be the path-finding (where
NPCs will actually stick to roads instead of taking shortcuts across
the lawn) and the transitions when entering buildings and going up or
down stairs. Maybe some jumping and falling too. So yeah, it's on my
todo list, will just take a while before it can happen.

Yeah. Too bad we can't have him as fulltime artist/developer! But he's
certainly one of the more notable personalities of the open source
gaming scene, so we're already lucky to get his attention and support
every now and then :-).
