The place is infested with bad You beat me to it, Don. I have asked (repeatedly) for Mike to set it so that all new users require approval. How many real human new users are there each week, after all? Two? But from Mike, I have never heard a reply yea or nay. But of course, that would mean he'd have to show up more than once a month to approve new users... (http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=100&target=MiSuBa) ... or allow others to be admins, per his "I don't aim to be GodKing" claim on his user page. (http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:MiSuBa) I imagine folks on this list know and like Mike. Me? I've never met him, barely seen his impact on the site, and feel that he's failed in the responsibility to us that he assumed when he set himself up as sole gatekeeper. Now... I just wish he'd transfer the domain name to the Looneys, let us copy the wiki to a new host registered to that domain, and get the hell out of the way.... >:| ---- Meanwhile... folks, please help Don, me, and others keep an eye on the Recent Changes and roll back any vandalism. The wiki database only hold so many entires in the history (configurable by... yep, the admin) and, as such, if enough edits roll through before we can roll back vandalism... well, it become permanent and the destroyed article must be rewritten. On that note: ALL CONTRIBUTORS should make a point of copying their articles to an off-site location. I try to maintain a parallel copy of every game I make (but not every article; e.g. "What Can I Play?") on my own site; but even if you don't have your own site, you could easily highlight all text, copy, and paste into Word or some HTML editor to save them on your home system. You've been warned.... David
