Function Kreepy: How I Got Erased

are displayed. If the phrase, "Functionality Creep" is googled, 2110
results come up. You do the math.
So how is that functioncreep.com - this very website - has been
disappeared from the search engine Google? We're number 2 over at
Yahoo, and we used to rank 4th at Google. What changed, you may ask?
Let's go back to the beginning.
A few months ago, we here at functioncreep noticed that the function
creep wikipedia page had been redirected to another page called
Functionality Creep. What difference does it make, you may ask
yourself? Function versus functionality? At first, we thought the same
thing. But slowly, over time, it became apparent that the person behind
this campaign was pursuing a much more sinister path: the total and
complete usurpation of the phrase "function creep"!
This person, who goes by the name, Kreepy Krawly, on Wikipedia, not
only managed to take control of the function creep entry on Wikipedia,
but also got functioncreep.com de-listed from Google - twice!
Talk about identity theft!
To top it off, KK even managed to "out" our identity in the Talk
section of "his page".
The abuses are obvious. The motivation less so.
While we may never know if Kreepy Krawly is a government agent, one
thing cannot be denied: his actions are nothing short of despicable.
But maybe it's something less glamorous... maybe he's doing it for the
money:
