You know, the place we were moving all the archived tales to? I haven't been able to get to it the last couple of days. Did someone decide to just kill off Troper Tales completely? What's going on?

Sorry if this is a stupid question or in the wrong place, but I thought it was best to ask.

I just want to make sure of something... is it the one on wikia, or the one on wikkii? I can see the wikia one, but it was the one decided against in favor of wikkii, so it doesn't have a lot.

Ah. Thanks. I had a feeling this could have been redundant...

Wiki. Latter doesn't work. But I'm sure you want the wikkii one. Sorry. :/

I vowed, and so did you: Beyond this wall- we would make it through.

Fortunately there was a mirror for it. I was freaking out for a minute before I saw.

Wait...you said it doesn't have as much? We have to do something!

Wikkii recovered from the downtime back then, but post-buyout the administration has been completely AWOL, the current owners (ad service Gunggo) not responding to email inquiries about the service. Likely scenario is they let the domain registrations expire and some domain squatter/speculator will buy them up and use them for those fake search portal landing sites. Sasha Ehrenstein of former Wikkii affiliate Sturmkrieg has had a bit of discussion on both Wikkii and Sturmkrieg fora on what to do about the service's likely coming demise, but no solution has been come to.

Tl;dr: Wikkii is working but no one knows how long that will last, best take backups and find a new host

I still have a copy of Troper Tales when it was cast out from the wiki, if you guys want to try again somewhere new.
