Lexicon site down?

I haven't been able to connect to www.nwnlexicon.com recently. Any news?

Is it something temporary?

I just keep the downloadable version on my desktop(s) for quick and easy access, even if there's no internet available.


 


Here's a link:  http://neverwinterva...wn-lexicon-v169


 


The web based versions were only done -just in case- folks continued adding to the Lexicon after the 1.69 version, which no one had that I know of.


 


Just a quick thanks to all the folks that have contributed to the Lexicon over the years too. Its been an invaluable tool and has elevated me from witless to a full fledged halfwit.'<img'>

I did a lot. Many wrong informations fixed, many clarified many new issues added by me.

I had been updating the lexicon as well. And so had Squatting Monk and others like Shadooow.


 


The wiki of the lexicon was incomparably better than anything else out there.

Except when it isn't out there '<img'>


 


There's something to be said for a local copy of things. The intraweb is nice but it can be impermanent.  I wish there was a good way to turn the wiki pages back into a static local copy to get all the updates...

               Last I heard, the link in my OP is the latest version. I've done a few updates, others have done more; the new vault links there.


So it would be good to know what's happening!

yeah, the wiki site came back up yesterday evening.  proleric said it had been down "recently", but i don't know how long.


 


the wiki is definitely more updated than whatever static 1.69 pages are hosted.  i had it in my head that i had an "archive" or dump option for the wiki so people could locally cache it.  maybe i never actually did that.

Thanks Dood!  I didn't see anything like archive.  but I didn't log in.  Maybe that's needed to see it?


 


Edit: Speaking of that. there does not seem to be a place to sign up? How does one get an account there?

squatting monk changed it to admin only registration:


 


http://forum.bioware...con/?p=16073838


 


one of the lexicon wiki admins has to manually create accounts for people.  anonymous edits still work, though.


 


 


as for the dump, i went looking into it again and i'm thinking more and more that i never set it up.  i thought there was an extension to generate dumps on the fly, but i think it's more of a cron job / direct link kind of thing.

               The site was down for at least 24 hours after I first noticed it.
