History

On December 12, 2008, the main database of the website malfunctioned, rendering all its contents unusable. Additionally, all backups since October 2007 were discovered to be corrupt, so the entire wiki was "warped" to the state of three months before. As of December 15, the damage is still being assessed and while the admins are attempting to restore what they can from the corrupted backups and the destroyed hard drive, the community joins forces in recovering the lost content from caches of other websites such as Google.
