ATTN: Choose your own adventure wiki

The Adventure Wiki is overrun with spam

I'm trying to revert spambot edits, and could use a hand...

Cainad and Verbatim, DRAW STEEL

anyone else is invited to help as well. This is the digital version of cleaning up greasy sea animals after an oil spill. You basically need to go through the adventure, and if you find a page with spam on it, revert it to its last coherent version


We need to turn off the ability for anonymous users to edit it, but I have lost my login info for the wiki. Hey faust or 000, do you have a moment?

...I thnk I actually got most of it. There was less of it than I thought.

regardless:

Thank you for fixing it, Cram! That's still one of my favorite projects you've ever started.

You know what would be really cool? If we could grab similar fonts to the head and body fonts used in the oldschool books...

Anybody know what those might be? I recall asking this before, but search isn't turning anything up

you know what occurs to me? Unless the user has the font on their system, they won't be able to see them properly, right?

[Bu🤠ns]

Oh I see what you wanted.  Yeah that's true. I figured you'd just do some banner or text with transparency or something.

hummm yeah that would be correct

best option would be to pick a substitute then, like Times or Georgia. maybe some of the new Vista fonts with Times as a backup option (you can specify a fall-back list in CSS).

if it's just for headers you could use sIFR which renders the fonts using Flash, but it's a bit heavy for body text.
