Hey hey, what can I do

I think at this point we must begin formulating plans based on the assumption that the site is a total loss. This means damage control first, then restoration, then prevention.

Assuming no good news comes through, we need to take the following steps:

1) take down the bulk of the site's pages so Google's cache will not overwrite them 2) figure out a system to make Derik and Abates' caches of Google-archived pages accessible to editors as they come in (Derik mentioned it'll take over a week to get a complete set off Google.) 3) if possible, automate the stripping of HTML tags and other non-Wiki goop from those pages before anyone tries to edit them, including Wikia links. 4) find a way to divvy up a restoration workload among our 50 or so regular editors. 5) find a new server. We would be idiots to remain here.

I still hope most of this will be unnecessary, but at this point, I'm losing faith. -- repowers
