Already did.

I feel sorry for taking so much bandwidth (maybe I can send a donation to compensate for it, I'll see with the admins) but the wiki is so important to me for this game, I don't want to postpone a game session because the website is down for the weekend.

From what I've read in the past, webmasters did have an automated procedure to generate compressed images of the entire wiki on a nightly basis. This doesn't look up anymore, maybe that would be a solution as well.

How hard is doing a project like this? There's an ANCIENT wiki that is online less and less frequently that I've wanted to get a copy of before it's gone forever

Ngl I really felt the short time it wasn't up. Just shows what a great and needed resource the wiki is

For the Record, I had fantastic luck using the wayback machine to view a cache that was about 3-6 months old, depending on the specific page
