and not on WO. Conclusion: even the former sysop of Wikipedia Review is getting tired of WO.
They seem to have been temporarily revived since the day the site was down. I think it's possible that Zoloft issued an ultimatum: share the work or he's gone.

Would not surprise me. And they will never discuss any of it publicly and openly.

Now Fake Jimbo is ranting about the French election. The WO blog is still dead and the forum is still getting only a few posts per day. Lol.

Cla didn't seem to even reappear after WO was down for 6 hours. I think he's ridden off into the sunset.

Define "new". Adminship was transferred to a Trustee, with the former Admin (you, of course) becoming a Trustee. So would we be surprised to learn the domain and server keys have similarly just been passed around the inner circle?

I just looked and his name is still green for being a mod. Is there something that you know that we don't?

H.P. Lovecraft put it this way:
The Call of Cthulhu wrote:Cthulhu still lives, too, I suppose, again in that chasm of stone which has shielded him since the sun was young. His accursed city is sunken once more, for the Vigilant sailed over the spot after the April storm; but his ministers on earth still bellow and prance and slay around idol-capped monoliths in lonely places. He must have been trapped by the sinking whilst within his black abyss, or else the world would by now be screaming with fright and frenzy. Who knows the end? What has risen may sink, and what has sunk may rise. Loathsomeness waits and dreams in the deep, and decay spreads over the tottering cities of men. A time will come—but I must not and cannot think!
