Thanks! Problem is, both the wiki and forum are pretty much read only right now, to avoid getting hit by spammers... The previous installation was so drowned in spam, I had no hope of cleaning it up, so I reset everything to the dump you'd sent me.
I'm sure there's a way to open it up again but didn't have time to investigate and I don't have experience on running a forum. But now that I think about it, I do have a friend who might have some ideas. Let's see what I can do...
Also, note that the server can't send emails right now. Another thing to fix :/
Cheers!

I see there haven't been any more posts in this topic for more than a yr. now, so is progress still being made? I must say, I'd be glad to see this forum/website become active again. It's been about ten yrs. since it went down & I figured that it'd never come back.

So... after restarting the forum, I had neglected it and it became overrun by thousands of spam messages. After that I just disabled new registrations and let it just sit there.
Today, I looked at it again and felt sorry about the situation, so I deleted all accounts registered after March 2018 and all their associated topics and posts. It's possible I deleted a few real users - I actually found two real accounts among the thousands of spambots and spared them, but I might have missed some other real ones.
I don't believe anyone will start using the forum and wiki now, I guess all the regulars have moved on, but it's nice having a historical record and would be a pity to not delete all the spam. I've carefully reopened registrations (with admin moderation) - let's see how it goes.
Thanks,
Alexandros
