contact list?

...so the contact list seems to have disappeared. Um.
(I don't have anything more helpful than that, but it seemed worth mentioning.)

I believe the domain was not renewed -- and actually, this could be a blessing in disguise, as the database-based lists had to be manually updated by an admin-type, etc.

Maybe this would be a good time to use one of the milliwiki alternatives as the link, and have people enter/keep up their own info instead?

I keep trying to get in there, but the miliwiki link says it's closed. Even if I just saw it a couple days ago. *scowls at it*

Which milliwiki link? Milliwiki.com is still up, though I am having a hell of a time trying to keep it spam free.

Well, it isn't that difficult. The spammer creates new pages like crazy and fills them with Markov Chain generated nonsense, so it is pretty easy to recognize and redirect, but it is increasing in volume. I think I am going to whine at Zed about it one of these days.

It looks like the link to the upstairs room list has finally be updated, so yay! But the contact list... I don't know if I ever used the contact list. I always used the cast list and info pages to figure out contact info. It would be best if contact info and the cast list could be combined, but the Milliwiki works too. It is just that milliwiki pages are sorta projects that people tend to leave half done :D

On the sidebar of the backroom page? It keeps going to a 'omg teh wiki is clooooooosed' page. *favorites milliwiki.com*

Oh! Ewww.

Those sidebars are one reason I never visit the main community or the backroom itself. Old, wonky, and never updated. I use my friends page instead. It would be great if those pesky sidebars were fixed/updated, but who has the time to do that?

I think one of the spammers even said 'hi' to me when I made up my various Milliwiki entries :p
