Hi all, Some of the main page links (like the 30 second tutorial) seem to lead to a spam/virus site. I do not have an account there so if anyone can, please remove them. http://wiki.freepascal.org/

virustotal says the linked page (chat11) is clean? I didn't click on the link though.

I have removed the link though for now till we know more.

Hello,

The chat11 site is "clean" but the javascript is a roulette and most times it jumps to a scam page (iPhone by $4, ...) but sometimes it jumps to a malicious javascript page.

Which javascript? On chat11 or on the wiki page?

That link looks as though it was added at the initial wiki creation in
2005. The chat11.com site is /not/ clean, it's very prominently marked with "Buy this domain" so has obviously been "cybersquatted" and is unlikely to ever contain anything of use.

Hello,

Chat11. I think Chat11 is no more online, domain is on sale AFAIK.

In fact if you try a simple wget on index page it will return 403, but if you identify as Firefox useragent it loads a bunch of javascript files.
