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.

If Wikia is co-located with the main Wikipedia servers and uncyclopedia.info (*.pedia.ws) is on commercial shared hosting somewhere in theplanet.com's vast server complex in Dallas, both should be relatively stable. The database from both sites is downloadable, so hopefully we won't lose the site again.

The XML text for the other externally-hosted Uncyclopedias is also backed up onto uncyclopedia.info's download area at the moment as a precaution. | ||
If and when peelonet.zapto.fi comes back up, it may be a good idea to grab a copy of the images? It may come in handy the next time something like this happens. Fortunately, the content is GFDL 1.2 (if from peelonet.zapto.org) or Creative Commons NC-SA-BY (if originally from the English-language Uncyclopedia) so it may be freely mirrored onto backup sites to ensure a usable working copy. --[[User:Carlb|Carlb]] 13:20, 11 June 2006 (EDT) | If and when peelonet.zapto.fi comes back up, it may be a good idea to grab a copy of the images?
