Ladies and wota, I’m afraid I have to inform you that the situation with thePPN is looking quite grim at the moment of this writing.
… If I cant get it running, the wiki is dead, I just have no data and no way to extract it. every backup I have for the past 4 months is refusing to load, and I just cant see why.
It seems there were perhaps DDoS attack(s) targeted at the site and in this comment at the official thePPN LJ community, apparently Womby (or some other administrator of thePPN) describes what is currently happening. Like he says in the quote, it seems they are unable to pinpoint exactly why they’re unable to get the site back up and working. He goes into some detail explaining it, so any of the more technically savvy IW users should head out there and see if you can offer any advice.
I’m sure the thePPN wiki is an irreplaceable resource for many of us bloggers, so we can but hope for the best and that Womby and the rest of the staff will be able to fix it.

Nyooo! I have no knowledge of InnoDB or whatever, but I hope they can figure it out.
