No matter what I do, every time I try to get to a wiki page, it times out or gives me a 404! What gives?! Is anyone else having these problems? :confused:

    Maybe it is that the orignal main page - http://hrwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page
    Is redirecting to this - http://hrwiki.org/wiki/Homestar_Runner_Wiki

    ?

    They got spammed. Big time. And then the server went for a holiday.

    The server experienced a technical problem unrelated to the events of yesterday evening. We are working on getting everything back the way it's supposed to be.

    In short, we had two or three waves of vandal attacks; one group possibly from 4chan or Encyclopedia Dramatica, defacing pages with explicit images from several different IPs, likely spoofed (sidebar: don't go looking at them, they are nasty. I do hope IDC can get them pulled or suppressed). Then our more recent vandal who's been doing all the nonsense pages, showed up, and just defaced pages. HL and J did a great job of valiantly defending yon wiki from the foul despoilers.
    Plus the whole "nonsense pages" thing at the start of that section suggests spam. Note that I'm not saying the spam caused the server to go on holiday in my previous post.

    Actually, it said:

    "Welcome to the H*R Wiki. Please wait a few minutes until normal services are restored.* And now, I choose to recite a list. Tetherball. Olympic race. Sparkling. Tim Duncan. Witch's Brew.**

    A few links.*

    *Official site.
    *The most recent sbemail [independant].
    *The best email ever."

    *May not be actual wording.
    **aka. The list from 'the show'
