Seems like it hasn't been updated in a while. Each page has an "last updated" timestamp. The homepage says: "Last edit December 19, 2014". There's also a Github project but hasn't been updated in 2 years: https://github.com/WardCunningham/remodeling

Hi, for some reason you're shadowbanned? As a new account I find this really unusual. It's likely you might need to verify your email or something. I've vouched for this comment, which is why it appears.

On Topic: there was a discussion a year ago about what the progress block is: https://github.com/WardCunningham/remodeling/issues/24

It seems that he's stuck with some files that are mixed-encoding and can't repair them, it's likely the wiki will be read-only until that problem is solved, unfortunately.

Thank you very much. This is a new account, but I don't know why I'd be banned :/ And why would you be able to see it and not me? :(

On Topic again: c2.com is great, I'd love if someone would take ownership and keep maintaining it.

It's probably because your first comment contains a link, and automated account creation for spamming purposes is unfortunately a thing. The site relies on users with high enough karma clicking a button to vouch for legitimate users to unban accounts (or draw the mods' attention), like what happened to you here.

Hacker News uses shadow-banning, so the person banned for problematic behaviour can't tell and doesn't just switch to a new account.

If you are a registered user, in the FAQ

>In my profile, what does showdead do?

>If you turn it on, you'll see all the stories and comments that have been killed by software, moderators, or user flags.

This is what people refer to when they say shadow/hellbanned.
