Will donating help get the wiki back online? I need that reference to play. Willing to pay for that info.

FYI, you can find an xml backup of the wiki here.

Does it make sense to add a native button in each window which would display the relevant info which used to be on the wiki? Like a 'Help' button?

It's a database corruption issue :(

The recent issues with the forums were not technical in nature.

Sorry to sound like a bit of a douche here, but if someone needs/charges over $100 month to Host a 20 year old forum with 1-2k daily visits, and then the site goes down for days or weeks... then they are clearly doing something very very VERY wrong and I have absolutely no interest in giving them money out of principle alone.

What are the needs of the server in terms of Traffic, CPU, Memory and Disc space? I am sure someone here or on discord would love to help out to find a better hosting service for the Forum.

Why does running a forum cost nearly $1400 per year? We operate a couple of small-scale websites that handle not an insignificant amount of traffic just fine on a $40/month VPS, with plenty of resources to spare. What am I missing here that's causing the cost of a forum to be this exorbitantly high?

Unlimited bandwidth. unlimited database resources, etc. I was having issues with previous providers throttling bandwidth even with "unlimited" and that caused the forums to be non-functional.

Odd. PayPal wouldn't let me set up a recurring subscription. Only let me do a one off.

Same here, but the CC I use is expiring this year so that might have been the problem for me.  Guess I'd better set a reminder!

Had the cancellation notice come though just now, had to go digging to figure out what it even was, been a bit since I played Aurora. Apparently I've been backing since 2021, via the profile subscriptions. Still listing as active in there too. Do I need to do anything for it to redirect?

You'd need to set up a new subscription here. It will use the new address. Thank you for your backing though :)

A new subscription will be appreciated, mine expred during the recent down period and need to restart it.
