From Aug 2006 - Nov 2013 WeDig provided a live forum for diggers & fans of Vindolanda. It has now been mothballed and will be maintained as a live archive.

Here you will find preserved 7 years of conversation, photos, & knowledge about a site many people love. Vindolanda gets under the skin. (Figuratively and literally as a volunteer excavator!) It's a place you remember, filled with people you remember!

Thanks for 7 great years!

Welcome to We Dig Vindolanda!

Hey all. Just wanted to give you a heads-up that for the past few weeks there's been a pretty vigorous push by a spammer or spammers based in Russia trying to break into the site. I've been getting daily reports of new bots registering, and I've been researching their DNS #s individually and banning spam ones. If I miss any, please definitely do use the "Report" feature, as that immediately sends me an e-mail and I can obliterate the offending account.

Also, I'm trying to make sure not to ban potentially legitimate domains. If anybody happens to hear or know of someone who's having any trouble at all logging on here, please let me know so I can make sure to clear it up. Always a tricky balance making sure the filth stays out while not blocking legit folks!

No doubt the distant descendents of the Goths and Vandals who sacked Rome. Continue to man the ramparts. We can fight them off this time!
