| Post subject: | Sudopedia |
The main page of Sudopedia got hit by spammers. I took the liberty of removing the spam and putting in a "place-holder" title. I would like to restore the main page to the original that Ruud posted, but I don't remember or have record of what used to be there. Can anyone help? |

The wiki has been targeted by spammers for months now, so unfortunately I can't see it getting back without active moderation. Unfortunately I don't have a record of the pages. I have a strong feeling that due to what happend on the old sudoku forum and the programmers forum - that there is somebody somewhere who has kept a copy of the original |

I'm finding there's a whole lot more spam than what was on the main page. It could be quite a job to clean all of that up, and without ownership of the domain, I'm not sure anyone could prevent the spammers from taking over again. I found another email address for Ruud this morning on the whois for the sudopedia.org domain, and I emailed him. We'll see whether anything comes of it. Quote: I have a strong feeling that due to what happend on the old sudoku forum and the programmers forum - that there is somebody somewhere who has kept a copy of the original I did learn this morning that one of the mods of the dailysudoku.com forum got a complete copy about a year ago, but obtaining a copy from him could be a problem. He had offered a while back to burn it to DVD and send it to anyone who asked, but he mentioned more recently that he was having trouble getting it to copy to a DVD or thumb drive (apparently due to some Windows-illegal file names). He didn't seem to have the know-how or the inclination to restore it to Sudopedia himself. |

I've just started a download from there to see if I can get most of the site as it was.
