It's a database corruption issue :(

I have experience with such things so just let me know if any help is needed.

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?

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.
