Can I help? I'm a sysadmin

Not really looking to be a moderator, but setting up a server and keeping it current are easy enough.
What was the problem with securing it? Was it so customized that updates from upstream became a problem? Or were you simply referring to the spam problem?
Yeah, I can imagine the amount of spam a sexcoin wiki would attract. I know it generally goes against the spirit of a wiki, but perhaps get it started with only trusted users?
Is over 12000 registered 'authors' in 24 hours spam?
iirc, the user db needs gutted and registration completely closed off.
I mothballed it with the intent of putting it back up closed off ( which we are in agreement, I wasn't too happy about that... not wiki-spirit ). All the pages that got generated needed removed.
At the end of the excersize I left it in mothballs, because the only people that would use it at that time already had documentation.
I was actually considering registering a domain and throwing up mediawiki with a simple logo, but if you've already got something...
With all the new blood coming in its probably time to tackle it. If you are willing, I can pull it out and see what state its actually in. I think I had gotten to the point to dump all and restart.
I'm about to put Xenial onto an old Lenovo to see if I can get the GUI working. I thought it would be nice to have a place to post said instructions.
We have a place for instructions. There's stickie posts for these things on sexcoinforum.com.
As a matter of fact, you could start here:
