Wiki Link In Forum Header Leads to Spammy Site

Post by StarArmy »

The "Wiki" link at the top of the forum goes to fahwiki dot net which is not a wiki at all. It appears the original wiki was replaced by a blog-style site with generic tech articles and the footer is full of shady-looking links to casino sites. I propose that the "wiki" link in the forum's header is updated or removed as soon as possible.

I bet you some pocket lint that they lost the domain rights accidentally.

As best as I understand the situation, the person who last had been maintaining that Wiki passed away a few years ago and the domain expired.

One of our admins attempted to fix the header info, but found that it reverted back to the original setup. Recently another admin has come back after an absence, and plans on taking a look at updating the header as they knew more about the original setup of the forum.
