We still have this blog, which summarizes what was done. If people need to know more than that, I can provide further details as needed.

When I did the research into what happened here, one of the things I came across were messages from the early days that said, "why are you guys even bothering to make your own wiki if you're just going to copy from Wikipedia?" If I remember right, Callum tried to downplay that, and his attitude was that there was room for more than one wiki about The Simpsons. Fast forward to 2011 and his attitude had changed. "There shouldn't be more than one wiki about The Simpsons and you have to come to our wiki."

You know as well as I do how aggressive he's been and how quick he's been to push people around. But that really shouldn't be a surprise, given the fact when there was an issue back around 2009 between the Futurama Wiki and an independant wiki call "The Infosphere", he got upset and wanted to go "to war" with them.

But when it comes to sticking by people that help him, he doesn't have that great a track record. Smiley12 helped with the vandalism here, but when Smiley caused problem on other wikis, he backed away and said he didn't want to get involved.

Callum hasn't caused any problems over here in several months, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again, whether or not it's accompanied by another threat of a lawsuit. If such a threat does happen, I'll say the same thing I said previously: I have enough notes from my research that I would be happy to turn over to Wikia and/or their lawyers. In it, there is information about vandalism that I was able to tie directly to Callum himself. If that can be verified by the server logs that show which IP address was in use when Callum logged into his account, that should be sufficient reason for Wikia to file a lawsuit against Callum personally for his part in their attempt to vandalize this wiki. He was here for at least five years before he left, so that's five years' worth of IP addresses in the server logs. I believe there's also a note where Callum admitted to launching a denial of service attack against Wikia.

There are other factors I won't list here that would make it really unwise for him to actually follow through with the threat of a lawsuit. As I said before, things are not in his favor as much as he thinks they are, and it's my opinion that he does it as a means of intimidation. Wikipedia has a page on No legal threats that he would do well to read.
