STILL working on getting new hardware, so the wiki is still on a home ADSL connection with an ancient UltraSPARC system. Sorry.
PLEASE PLEASE don't try and download the whole wiki with some kind of "recursively get the whole website thing" (such as wget, or anything else). It hammers the CPU on the system and really hammers my ADSL connection - it's effectively a denial of service attack. I had to block an IP address today because it looked like that was what they were doing, they sent the load average up to about 150 in the process and saturated my ADSL, and of course made the wiki inaccessable to everyone else.
... Who the hell did that? ... try to kill the wiki eh'? Hesperus, Could I borrow your gun.... and some trumble missiles...

Bad idea!
1) The laser is easy to be seen. Never play paintball with a laser pointer as sight, or you're dead. Use those nice russian sights instead, which reflect a diodes light as sights. Was my best friend while playing with the dutch army guys! They didn't need it, though. They could just hit an object the size of a palm at 15m without aiming. Embarrassing!
2) If you use guns, it's too quick. Put him in an escape pod with a few trumbles!

Any word yet on when the proper hardware will be resurrected and we can go back to a read/write wiki?

Ooh ... I hope I haven't killed it. I started downloading loads of OXPs from there yesterday, and now it's dead. I didn't discover this forum until afterwards, honest!
Sorry ...

Good news!
Finally, there is new hardware; the old hardware suffered a double failure.
Unfortunately, I have to completely rebuild the server, so it won't be switched over instantly, but the wiki should be back to normal Real Soon Now.
