I'm curious about the opinion over here about what it would take to do this:
Names replaced on Kahlo Pub Memorial in MOUL.

If you manage to get custom Python code running in MOUL, you can basically do whatever you want. Including editing any vault node (unless they added some rights management since UU - the bases were there, but IIRC never got implemented). And that list for the memorial is also saved in such a vault node.
So, I'd say someone figured out how to do that and decided he has to show everyone how great he is. He would not be the first one to know how to do it though.

Hopefully Cyan can get something out of the server logs.
Is Sharper's journal still empty? It uses a similar vault node to get its text from.

MOUL has even less access control... This is why vault permissions are crucial.

The journal says "I'm an empty book"

How can it have less than no control...?

I know how to do this, and it seems some other people here have some idea too ;)

Yes, that is the default placeholder string for journals. For the memorial imager however the placeholder is an empty string. So there is no way that message could have been a glitch as suggested in the MOUL forum.
