      Where the wiki at? πŸ˜„ Poking around the forums, I've pieced together a basic idea that the wiki isn't running any more, and that most of the content is now on the SU Sages web site. Is this correct? Is there a desire within the community to renew the wiki and bring it back to life? I know that a wiki can be a lot of work to manage, so it's not a small project to take on. I'd appreciate hearing any relevant details.

      Thanks, everyone.
      C.

        Lots happened to the wiki πŸ˜„ It was a great project that never quit got the support it needed to survive. I invest a lot of up front time into making a base for it. Al Hart invest a LOT of time in adding content and cleaning up spam. Faruk Ahmet invested a lot of time working on conent formatting. And others invested time adding content, etc.

        But in the end, the spammers won, and my cheap WebHost couldn't handle the load. Wikis are very server intensive with all the php and sql database processing. And it just was painful to try and edit pages, often getting web time outs, erasing the attepmted edits.

        So it was a good effort, but just never quite took off like I had hoped, though it was incredibly succesfful if you count how many visitors it had.

        Now the information has been put onto the Sages site like you said. Joy (Catamountain) and Al Hart did virtually all the content moving over to the sages site. Hopefully it will stay there and continue to be accessible.
