+1 for using a more modern mechanism like google groups. searching, etc would be a lot easier. just make sure you require approval of all membership requests and ask for something intelligible in the request to defeat automatic spam programs.
btw, it looks like the wiki has been abused a little bit already. Recent changes: http://seapig.org/RecentChanges show that the following pages: http://seapig.org/Fly-Fishing-Gear-Alaskan-Crab-Fishing-Jobs http://seapig.org/Raymond-Weil-Watches-Aquamarin-Mother-Pearl-Dial-Watches-Watche have recently been spam linked, probably to improve google page rankings in search results. I would imagine there are probably other pages like that too. that's one of the reasons I made seajug.org back into a static website .. that, plus the fact that I was the only one making changes to the content. -- Nimret Sandhu http://www.nimret.org On Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 3:01 PM, Mike Orr <[email protected]> wrote: > The server OS is old and needs to be upgraded.
