Wikispaces is closing down
« on: March 04, 2018, 09:15:28 AM »
As you all should know, this forum will be closing soon. And sadly, it seems the same is true of our wiki. Wikispaces will be shutting its doors soon.

I have no intention of letting our resources vanish, though. I've backed the wiki up and intend to rehost it elsewhere. Existing links will break; there's just no way around that. But nothing should actually be lost.

Looks like I have until July to find a new home for the thing. Not really sure how to go about that. Anyone here have experience moving wikis?

Sorry to hear that.  I know you’ve put lots of work into it.   I don’t have any ideas.  Maybe the new Site wil be able to host a wiki.

It's really more the websites that aren't doing so well.

The game's still puttering along in moderate obscurity, and as far as I can tell the books are doing well.

Fred was able to carve out some server space to preserve the WOJ section on the main website, he might be willing to do the same for this?  As you say the game and books are doing well, the fandom will want and need the resource.
