Noooooooo! That really is a shame. I really do hope that you manage to restore a backup. And if you manage to do so, please provide a way to export the contents. For a long time, I pondered creating an ebook out of gunkies. Maybe this is the right time to do so.
What do you think about such an ebook?
Cheers,

Hmm it’d be nice, more so in the idea that it all wouldn’t be lost. I liked the idea of a less than strict wiki on computing, and went crazy trying to create 100’s of pages on all kinds of shit hoping to draw some people in… I think I did somewhat succeed. Although the only problem is that I don’t own it, so when bad stuff happens it is all out of my hands. The owner is no doubt busy with other stuff, and it gets sidelined.
which is a bummer.
I suppose the answer is turn off scripting and just start mining it. Im sure there is some tool out there somewhere to just pull stuff from a wiki in an automated fashion, the trick is the neat templates that were setup….
MediaWiki has a database and XML export feature. You should be able extract it all automagically.
I have a wiki about computering, for what it’s worth… probably a penny.
Sounds great to me. If you want to talk about the details, you should know the mail address. However, I’ll be on a two weeks vacation to sweden starting tomorrow. I’ll start working on this afterwards.
Cheers,
Joe
I could also do it too. 😉
You should know my email, and my bud ampharos will be happy to help. I’m a MediaWikite myself.
It’s sad gunkies is basically dead now. Torb isn’t responding on his gmail, you’re the last editor.
The spammers basically killed the site. I would assume he’s not replying to email as he’s on vacation… Although if he’s totally lost interest in the whole thing, at least the domain is still working….
