Just received an e-mail from ACS&#8217;s technical support saying that the error that prevented their userbase from accessing the WIki has been fixed.
As for others from other ISPs that may be affected, please know that we&#8217;re working with the affected ISPs as much as we are able.
Good hunting!

Folks,
After receiving some comments on our off-server Case Orange blog, it appears that there is some sort of issue with some ISPs. Those in Alaska using the Alaska Communications System ISP will be pleased to know that their tech support team is looking into the issue on their end.
Updates as we get them. Thank you.

So&#8230; apparently the Wiki Frakr is barred from being linked on MySpace. Consequently, any attempt to link to it from your MySpace profiles, posts, or bulletins will not work.
We can&#8217;t control it, but we can let you guys know about it. So tell Tom and his buddies to go frak themselves.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In talking to a few people who have not been able to access the website since our move, it appears that Plusnet internet service provider—serving the United Kingdom—has an issue with The Planet&#8217;s DNS entries. The Planet, as you may be aware, is home to our two web servers. Since Plusnet users can&#8217;t access the website due to malformed or incorrect DNS entries, people have not been able to access the website from that ISP.</p>
<p>Plusnet and The Planet are working on a solution right now, but I have no ETA on when Plusnet people can access the website without using web anonymizers or web proxies that do not suffer this problem.</p>
<p>This will also be posted on the Case Orange blog <a href="http://bswiki.woo-yay.net/2008/07/25/planet-plusnet-dns-issues/" target="_blank">here</a>, since that blog is hosted on a server in the UK, and thus not affected by the DNS woes of Plusnet. So tell your UK friends.</p>
<p>Updates as we get them, thank you.</p>

Now that Sci-Fi Wire has issued their low-key press release-slash-news blurb about the Battlestar auction*, I&#8217;d like to take the opportunity to formally announce Battlestar Wiki&#8217;s (and my own) involvement with it.
If you check out the Battlestar Props website, particularly the &#8220;About&#8221; section, you&#8217;ll see a familiar name there. Yes, that&#8217;s me. It&#8217;s not a [...]

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that Sci-Fi Wire has issued their <a href="http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&amp;id=58030">low-key press release-slash-news blurb</a> about the Battlestar auction*, I&#8217;d like to take the opportunity to formally announce Battlestar Wiki&#8217;s (and my own) involvement with it.</p>
<p>If you check out the <a href="http://www.battlestarprops.com" target="_blank">Battlestar Props</a> website, particularly the &#8220;About&#8221; section, you&#8217;ll see a familiar name there. Yes, that&#8217;s me. It&#8217;s not a Cylon copy.**</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve been very, very silent about this for about a month and a half now, mainly because I had my personal doubts as to whether or not this was going to come to pass, and the fact that NBC Universal are the people behind it&#8230; Not to mention the fact that I have my own boss, PropWorx CEO Alec Peters. Afterall, everybody&#8217;s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotta_Serve_Somebody" target="_blank">gotta serve somebody</a>.</p>
<p>In any event, I&#8217;ll have much, much more to blog about—via the Battlestar Props website—when I get up to Vancouver. (Yes, I get to go to Vancouver. More on that later.) The Battlestar Props site will be</p>
<p>The slew of behind-the-scenes information I—and, by extension, all of you—will have access to will be tremendous, and will go up on the Wiki. A small, but influential core of volunteers have already been working on getting things prepped for all the information that&#8217;ll go online on the Battlestar Wiki, the <a href="http://props.battlestarwiki.org/" target="_blank">new Props wiki</a> (still under construction), and the Battlestar Props website. Of course, new volunteers are welcome, and you&#8217;ll likely get something out of it (DVD boxset or something like that, hell, maybe a prop, who knows), although all the volunteers are working <em>pro bono</em>. There might be some fame, maybe a splinter, but I&#8217;m not in it for the fame. I&#8217;m in it because I&#8217;m a fan who passionately loves—and hates, at the same time!—the show, and having funded and helped to build the Wiki, we&#8217;ve reached a plateau that very, very few fan sites will ever reach.</p>
<p>For me, having <strong>never</strong> dreamed something like this was ever possible, I find myself continually astonished and deeply humbled at all those who have aided us in our mission to chronicle the series.</p>
<p>Now, before I go off ramblin&#8217; like an prideful father, I&#8217;m going back to the tylium mines of Carillon while I still have energy left in me to work through the night.</p>
<p>Updates as I get them! Good night and good luck, and thank you for your belief in us!</p>
<p>* The announcement was supposed to come out Friday. Or at least, that&#8217;s what we were told.<br />
** As I am the Final Cylon (hey, I&#8217;m not in that infamous, vastly overrated &#8220;Last Supper&#8221; picture!), I do not have copies of myself available. Sorry. I&#8217;ve always been a Cylon, and have been from the start. [cue Watchtower music]</p>

Yes, we&#8217;re on another top ten list, along with Lostpedia, WikiHow, and even Conservapedia (which I personally shudder at, it&#8217;s worse than Wikipedia). Interestingly, no Wikia wikis made it on the list, from what I can tell.
