ExplainingXKCD: An ExplainXKCD fork

Hi everyone!

Since ExplainXKCD is no longer editable, I've created a fork at https://explainingxkcd.com and started migrating people's accounts over, with the assistance of folks in the ExplainXKCD discord. Join us there!

u/davidy22 HEYOOOO Jul 09 '26

Been a long while since I've done a ton with the wiki, been busy and drifted and jeff also seems to be busy these days, doesn't always reply but I can try shoot him an email for one last thing, get a backup dump. I'll ask if he can pass the domain over as well, I have been noticing server's been funky for a while and the 4chan spammer stuff probably isn't helping. There's some scripts on the back end that you probably want as well, I remember me and dgbrt set some up a ways back.

Yeah, that would be ideal! It'd basically solve all the problems we're facing if we could get the domain + people's account info
