Would porting it to one of those free wiki site work? (Assuming I'm willing to get hit by advertising and so stuff, admittedly a huge undertaking formatting the stuff over) What good free wiki sites are there? I'm only aware of Wikia.

Is it possible to provide your web folder zipped as a download temporarily? I could gradually edit them to a free site in bits and pieces, though my formatting do leave a bit to be desired.

I can host as is. no need for advertisements of any sort. you get your own ftp login and cgi-bin (tho i'll be able to look inside the folders and the db of course).

He has had such offers in the past. He has a login on my shell server and even had root. He did some appreciated work there for awhile.


He might be considering the next evolution. A home server. I hope so. He seems to have covered all the different "jobs" of one individually. We can definitely use some more servers.

Maybe he will consider a synch'd site.

The Wiki is back, in a way, sorry for the wait. I did try to find other hosting options at college or with friends from other colleges, but for various reasons those plans never bear fruit. So now I am indeed hosting it from home, an idea I originally was very opposed to, because while it is a broadband connection it won't be as fast as before and I don't want to hog the available bandwidth whenever I download something. I did have hosting offers, but one thing I care very much about now, after a dozen years of experience as a sysadmin and some unpleasant surprises, is dependability, which by now means that I want to be able to have physical access to the machine when I want to as well. It might be worthwhile to consider transferring the entire site to Wikia, at some point in the future maybe, but I fear that a lot of things then won't make it during the transfer process.

So, this is better than nothing, I guess. Please tell me your experiences of using the site, if this is okay for you or if it is unbearable.

And bam, upgraded the Wiki to MW version 1.16 now as well. I've been waiting for this for months. Enjoy the new vector skin!

And report back if you get errors.

I'd like to post my experience using the site, but still can't get in. I'm hitting all the links at the beginning of this post, but get nowhere. Is there another way?
