Urist McWikiHost launches Wiki Improvement Drive!
« on: September 15, 2009, 03:49:18 pm »

Please check out the Wiki Improvement Drive so we can figure out how to improve the wiki for all players!

The migration is now complete - if the wiki appears to be read only for you, try flushing the DNS cache on your computer, as the IP address associated with www.dwarffortresswiki.net has changed.

My Contact Info:
  • Forums: Locriani
  • Wiki: Briess
  • Somethingawful Username: I can't remember, I may need to make a new account.
  • Elitistjerks.com Username: Locriani
  • Email: borked at this time.
  • Phone: 817 944 89o3 - please don't use this unless there's a server outage, and I'm far more likely to check a text message than a voicemail in a timely manner.

Extend your thanks to Sensoz for putting up with us elf haters for so long!

Spam the contacts! Spam them! Spam them!

But seriously, cheers. The advert move may have helped with technical stuff, but it's a tad annoying now...

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

Awesome, thanks.

The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.

I'll see what else I can figure out to get the advert to, um, play nicer.  I may only reasonably be able to reduce the size, though.

Awesome, great effort there. This will come in handy when the new release comes out and the new pages and edits start flowing in.

Pretty cool that you're doing this.

The move went smoothly as I didn't notice anything until I saw this thread.

Good man! Way to dwarf up!

The migration is now complete - if the wiki appears to be read only for you, try flushing the DNS cache on your computer...

I might strongly suggest that you post this fix on the main page: discussion of the (old) wiki, and/or get Senso to change his default announcement on the old site, which is still coming up...

The administrator who locked it offered this explanation: I am in the process of transferring wiki ownership to someone else, edits blocked to prevent discrepancy.

That's what I've been seeing all day, assumed it was accurate and simply was waiting for the new Admin to get home from work and do his thing.  :-\

I think it was the phrase "in the process of transferring" that threw me.  :P

Thanks for the heads-up here!

Thanks man!  I was kinda worried when he mentioned that he would have difficulty continuing hosting and no-one seemed to step up.

I would have been willing, but not able (Never even edited a wiki significantly, no website experience, little fuzzy on network stuff in general, no access to a server, so on so fourth)

Would it be weird if I hugged you?

Thanks for taking on this burden for the community!


Once the new release comes out, I'll build a tower in your honor made from elf bones covered in elfblood..   with a nice magma fountain, of course.
