Avocado ([info]white_serpent) wrote in [info]fandom_wank,
Re: What actually happened to the wiki?
HnK took it down. She owns the domain and paid for the server space, and one day as I was in the midst of trying to kill the latest group of several hundred spam accounts, the wiki disappeared and never reappeared.

I assume one of the following:
*She got tired of it.
*It was too much trouble (in one way or another).
*The size/traffic were getting out of hand because of the constant spambot incursions.
*She wanted to use the hosting space for something else (which she's clearly doing).

Also, there's the general truth that people would reference articles there, but there just wasn't much new content.

People post periodic questions about what happened to it, and this is the best I've got for you. I did email her about it after the fact, but she never responded. I think snacky asked her about it as well. From my perspective: even with the code mindset wrote, dealing with the constant spam was time-consuming. So, I miss it, but...

(Coming on this thread quite late because Anne Rice announced a new Vampire Chronicles book and I wondered if the wank was related.)
