Actually, someone forgot to pay the server bill. And the European devs couldn't get access to the account to pay the bill until the Canadians woke up. This shit has got to stop.
Amen, Brent. I've already given the Orain guys an earful about this myself (hopefully they'll listen).
In other news, it seems our Wikia fork community wants a content dump of ATT so they aren't screwed over when ATT goes down, since that's one of the main places they import content from, and since many of our ATT members heard about ATT on Wikia (and love BOTH wikis), I feel compelled to help both communities prosper (since both are the only alternatives people fed up with TV Tropes have for troping), so I am strongly considering letting them have a current revision copy of our May 2012 content to fill in most of the blanks on the Wikia mirror.
Bob: Sent you an email with more information on this, awaiting your response, as I have already discussed this with Brent (and he advised me to seek your opinion). I was also considering renaming the Tropes Mirror Wiki to All The Tropes as well (since it's basically ATT on Wikia in all but name already), again, more details in that memo I emailed you, look forward to your opinion on the matter.
In technical news, I have been testing the MW 1.23 RC0 to see if anything will break when we upgrade to that (since there are some database changes), and thankfully it doesn't look like what we have so far is going to break, more news when the stable release comes out.
