Subject: Nigh Stikipad

Does anyone know anything about what happened to Stikipad? This was a
very nice Ruby-based wiki site that offered free accounts to light
users as well as commercial offerings for heavy users. Unfortunately
they seem to have gone belly up without so much as whisper of warning
to their users.

I have lost a substantial amount of work that I had hosted there. If
only I was notified, I would have backed it all up locally. (Let that
be a lesson to you!)

Does anyone know anyone involved with this company? Is there any hope
of salvaging my lost work?

Also, I am surprised they could not keep the business afloat. Even if
they weren't turning any profits, I would expect they could at least
bring in enough revenue to keep the site running. If Stikipad has
thrown in the towel for good, I for one would be interested in buying
up the their software assets on the cheap (something is better than
nothing, right?) and restarting the service.
