The "wikidown" address just got spammed.
Since there's no way
to get off of spammers' lists once on, that pretty much demands
that we change it. Further, whatever means we are using to
announce that address to human beings should probably be fixed
to make it less friendly to address-sucking bots.
Would it be possible to have somebody (or somebodies) from outside Bomis
run chronjobs that regularly check whether Wikpedia is down,
then paging you if it turns out that it is?
If that works, then we'd never have to publish a special address.
