I'm just wondering as it'd be ''really'' helpful regarding the [[Nanochan]] page. I've tried reaching out to them on IRC several times to avail. But your profile links to a discord server, something I did not even know existed. It could be dead as well. It is probably dead as well.
I feel like capitalising them give these things respect, when they deserve none. Fine, I won't change these words as you asked me.

But if you have any chance of getting a mod or admin to take a look at the page and more importantly, its edit history whether through discord or otherwise, it'd be much appreciated.
Oh, we got here an "open source" infidel.

No, not one person or business has called gratis, proprietary software, "free software" - they say "freeware", "for free", or "it's free" - any readers will very quickly learn what free software means even if they misunderstand it at first.
 
"open source" is a much worse term, as it's as confusing as hell. The only natural meaning is; "you can look at the source code", so that's what almost all people take it to mean.
 
Good luck explaining the 10 "open source" requirements to someone and having them remember it - in most cases they'll go away with; "you can look at the source code".
 
It is high heresy to refer to free software licensed under the GPLv{2,3}, expat, ISC, BSD {0,1,2,3}-clause as "open source".
 
Anyway, it's simply wrong to label software licensed under the GPLv{2,3} as "open source", as "open source" is not written in the license - "free software" is.

Do you know the administration by any chance?

I'm just wondering as it'd be really helpful regarding the Nanochan page. I've tried reaching out to them on IRC several times to avail. But your profile links to a discord server, something I did not even know existed. It could be dead as well. It is probably dead as well.

But if you have any chance of getting a mod or admin to take a look at the page and more importantly, its edit history whether through discord or otherwise, it'd be much appreciated. Hikikomori Nakajima Hikari (talk) 18:37, 3 July 2023 (CEST)

That discord is where most regulars from the old irc channel (#installgentoo) moved over to, both User:Sinc and User:Yuki are active in there (it's very much not dead). However, neither of them care about the wiki, nor can they grant me any additional roles. Bananafish is busy living his life, Morpheus and the rest of the admins I don't really know about, haven't heard from them in a long time. The domain actually expired last year, but somebody renewed it. I can't see them being able to render much help other than potentially protecting the page, anyway.
