So, I'm afraid to say that the spam situation on the old wiki has now become so overwhelmingly annoying that we've had to basically abandon it. There's no way, even with all the IP blocking in the world, that we can effectively keep it together and page after page is being overwritten once, twice or even three times a day.
We've started a new FAQ however at http://www.barbelith.com/faq/ - it's still based on wiki software but it's a less frivolous kind. You now need to register to be able to use the wiki which should help delay attacks from spam bots, and it has more sophisticated safeguards which I can use to keep it tidy. It's also slightly better looking (although not so far made to look particualrly barbelithy, although that will come in time). It doesn't work QUITE the same as the old one, but hey - in some ways it's a bit better.
We've transferred over most of the stuff from the old wiki, but there's still stuff left behind - I'm planning to shut down the old one and remove it from my site within the next month however, because at the moment it's giving these evil cunting spammers google-juice that they don't deserve and I think that's unacceptable.
Basically if there was stuff on the wiki that you wanted to keep hold of, go and grab it NOW and stick it on the new one. Otherwise your stuff will be lost. |
