There is another Hikipedia, alternative to http://peelonet.zapto.org/hikipedia on http://hiki.pedia.ws First has 2000 articles, but is unstable, the Wikia site was simply an attempt to start over; it currently has about a hundred pages. | There is another Hikipedia, alternative to http://peelonet.zapto.org/hikipedia on http://hiki.pedia.ws First has 2000 articles, but is unstable, the Wikia site was simply an attempt to start over; it currently has about a hundred pages. | ||
| − | + | The other attempt made to create a backup site on the uncyclopedia.info server is currently at http://hiki.pedia.ws - a copy of the text of the original had been made after the first Hikipedia disappeared ([http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Forum:.de_displaced%2C_.fi_finished%3F]), initially largely by reconstructing the site from search-engine archives. The current version of all of the original articles was imported from the original site using XML when peelonet briefly popped back online in June (although MediaWiki does not automatically update stats on XML import). | |

The Hikipedia wikicity is not based on the original (it starts over from zero). The hiki.pedia.ws site contains a complete copy of the current text recovered from the original and a few images from the English-language Uncyclopedia. |
The Hikipedia project, while alive and very much active, is a mess. It looks like zapto.org is a dynamic-DNS IP, operating much like dyndns.org or other similar servers. It points to an ADSL link to someone's computer in Finland. There was only one admin there when it was up. There is now an even bigger lack of admins who speak Finnish (and Babelfish-like tools are of no use here due to the limited number of supported languages). Much of the site (as recovered) is therefore prone to be a mess of substubs, graffiti and insults. | The Hikipedia project, while alive and very much active, is a mess.
