You can kind of stick a fork in UMassWiki, I guess. Something this morning spurred me to log in, check out recent edits, approve all the ads I've been ignoring, etc. It had actually been over 2 months since I'd last logged in.

At least you got good traffic and sticky editors.

There's nothing sadder than a dead wiki growing weeds that actually had useful stuff on it.
