Wiki now requires log-in to read

[ Community -> Update ] - More info on <a href="http://wikipocalypse.duckandcover.cx/in ... ?title=The Vault">Community: The Vault</a>

For reasons unknown, about seven hundred different IPs keep trying to access the wiki about once every second on a daily basis. They seem to be from SpamBots. Obviously the server can't take that kind of load so in order to help combat that, we've altered the wiki so that you MUST login if you want to visit any page other than the Main Page.It's a bit harsh but seems to be doing the trick, at least for now. Registration is free and signing up doesn't take long. While we acknowledge that it will result in less casual browsers, it does mean we can still keep the wiki online for those who want it (our only other alterative was to take it offline).

Alexa sez vault.duckandcover.cx constitutes 20% of DaC's visitor-numbers.

Can you track down those IPs? Are they coming from Russia? China? NMA?

Bethesda.

We're probably banned in China.

Might as well suggest that a visit to the Antarctic would likely cause the participants to feel somewhat chilly.

Wikipocalypse is still up and running. Although it's basically a poor man's PA Media.

Wikipocalypse failed and will be closed down. As for The Vault, we're moving it to a different server.

You could have at least put a crosslink to RexPedia
