Either the fourm is meant to display "October" as "Oktober", or someone has hacked something. I was reading the profile of user Rifleman, who shows up as having joined on 7 Oktober 05. Is this a forum error, a deliberate device for humor, or has someone haxxed again?

It's been that way since at least last Oktober. I noticed it during the month while every post had that date. I just assumed Lofwyr got into the database and germanified it a little...

I can't find this "October" misspelling you speak of—it's a proper "Oktober" everywhere I can find.

I'm aware that the Wikipedia page is wrong, but it's protected by a zealous crowd of editors. I have better things to do than get in revert wars.
