Hello everyone!
I am glad to announce that the wiki and the old forum are now back online!
CPCWiki has finally caught up with the latest Mediawiki versions, a new sleeker appearance and modern functionality.
The old forum, in the meantime, is back online, albeit in read-only mode. You’ll see that all permissions have been revoked to keep it frozen in time.
Believe me, there was a ton of work involved - by myself, but more importantly by @Highlander who did a fantastic job setting up the infrastructure.
That said, there are bound to be issues. I know, for instance, that some extensions on the wiki (most were disabled anyway) do not work perfectly.
So, I’d be grateful if you could test things and report here with any findings.
With this, I consider the first and biggest phase of migration complete. We’ll now focus on fixing issues and fine-tuning things.
Thanks for your patience!
PS worth mentioning that, the moment the wiki went back up, the usual bots descended again in droves. They managed to make the site(s) unresponsive, even on this new, vastly superior server. We have implemented a series of measures (rate limiting, on-site bot detection and denial, WAF rules blocking entire countries etc.) However, I think that Cloudflare challenges are now much better and you should only see one if there’s something suspicious with your connection.
