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.

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

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?

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