Burn Report post Posted January 5, 2014 Hmmm. Must be a hosting problem. However, likely unrelated but worse than a temporary hosting glitch: Expires On January 06, 2014 ^ According to whois, the el-wiki.net domain name expires tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichelAngelo Report post Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Hmm....sounds like a problem, did anyone make a backup? This may very well be the end of that wiki then, did someone already try to contact jan.liebezeit? at least this emailadress was mentioned in the registry... Greetz, M-A.

revi Report post Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Hmmm. Must be a hosting problem. However, likely unrelated but worse than a temporary hosting glitch: Expires On January 06, 2014 ^ According to whois, the el-wiki.net domain name expires tomorrow. Small precision to that: the whois data also states that the expiry date corresponds to the registrar's sponsoring of the domain, not the agreement with registrant. and last update is 2013-01-08... (so about a year ago). And there is a (short) grace period after the expiration date. So it is possible that the domain has been paid for and won't expire at all. (the only one that can say for sure is the registrant) And in any case, the wiki won't go down tomorrow because the domain has expired.

Jeditotalwar Report post Posted January 5, 2014 My friend and guild-mate Cabman gave us this link; https://web.archive.org/web/20130525220251/http://el-wiki.net Think it is a type of backup, use this when the server is down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zilding Report post Posted January 7, 2014 If you know the URL (most of which can be guessed if you're looking for a particular item), one can also google 'cache:el-wiki.net/Cactus' and Google will take you to their cached version (of, in this case, Cactus). NB: no space after/before the colon. Z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
