Ring of Brodgar Wiki

[borka]

Debian with Apache Server is running again ... spiff sure is at it ...

[shubla]

Maybe the maintenance of the wiki (server, not content) should be transferred to somebody else to reduce the amount of downtimes?

Don't go to ringofbrodgar.com go to http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/.

Just back from work ... Yep, RoB-wiki is back online.

Feel free to share your RoB-wiki downtime statistics with us.

Until than I consider two consecutive and relative short web-hosting-provider hiccups in ~8 years of pretty smooth running in my view a none issue.
(I figure RoB-wiki (Hosted by Spiff, who is not even playing the game anymore if I'm correct) is now around 8 years old)

Note to the, generally silent, majority: I think Spiff deserves a bit more gratitude and appreciation, instead of, in my view unfounded and opportunistic, comments like that.

Maintainer of the wiki not even playing the game just adds more reasons to switch.

spiff runs the Wiki for free and maintains (and pays) the server ... all contributors and caretakers are doing it for free ... since years ... and the downtimes been very very very few and short ... so what ?!?

If you're not with it you're free to do a Wiki yourself:

Puru hasn't updated his client in a long time. This error is due to the lack of updates, nothing on your end.

So what are the options? Go back to Wikia? No thanks. Gamepedia might be an option, but I'm not sure what their rules are. The only other option I can think of (as jorb, at least, has shown disinterest in Seatribe hosting a player managed wiki) is another person running it who will eventually quit playing the game for some length of time due to some reason or another. Spiff has at least continued to contribute time and money to this community long after he has left the game for whatever reasons he had.

Are you offering to commit your time and money for the next 8, 10, 20 years to such a project? If so, then say so. Otherwise, it comes down to you protesting just to protest.

Jorb and loftar hosting the wiki would be the best of course, community could still moderate it and create content and so on. They already have some servers and stuff. Wiki is not exactly the most server-intensive thing to host.
I wouldnt mind hosting it either.
