This wiki's two most notorious vandals, TheEvilNoob and Mdj, did most of their damage at approximately the same time. TheEvilNoob was a disgruntled user whose rage was wrought in October. of 2008, and the block log does show an account named Rs2play, an early Runescape spamming bot, being banned days after. However, it's highly unlikely that this was Mdj, whose first accounts were banned in 21 August of 2009. If that is the day of Mdj's nascence, then it just happened to coincide with many of TEN's prolonged attacks on the Wiki, which would happen months at a time apart.
Mdj
Mdj's last appearance was 11 April 2010. His vandalism, obviously, originally consisted of spamming Runescape advertisements. However, it soon became similar to TEN's: mostly directed at RyanGibsonStewart. Precisely why this turned out to be the case remains to be seen, but I theorize that he found TEN's vandalism humorous (again, his emergence coincided with a massive attack by TEN), and decided to follow suit.
His style preached high-visibility with no attempt to fly under the radar, exactly as TEN's did. Every username of his was a rehash of Mdj, often with Cyrillic and other foreign characters (http://heroeswiki.com/MediaWiki:Titleblacklist), running the gamut along the lines of his original username, [User:Mdjww].
His personal style of vandalism differed in that it consisted entirely of creating new files and pages, as the deletion log shows. These pages often referenced inane stories, Latvian pride (it is presumed he is from Latvia), a hatred of RGS, Runescape items, and a hilarious tendency for showboating. His file uploads consisted of attacks on RGS, of which http://oi60.tinypic.com/15hlunl.jpg is an epitome.
TheEvilNoob
TheEvilNoob's last appearance 25 August 2011.
