I think this article should stay as a warning to wiki users that they can't guarantee a wiki farm will keep its wikis online. I hope removing the delete notice was OK.

:I agree, <del>but I'm not sure about [http://scribblewikiblog.com/scribblewiki-is-shutting-down/ this link]. It is not very informative (now). It seems they removed all the comments from the page.</del> [Update: Actually the link I had in mind was [http://scribblewikiblog.com/downtime/#comments this one], although everything I said about the other page is true of this one. I believe this to be the correct link because I had it in my wiki before the information disappeared.] (I checked archive.org and Google cache and they have excluded the original page from appearing there.) I however have it in me little brain here | :I agree, <del>but I'm not sure about [http://scribblewikiblog.com/scribblewiki-is-shutting-down/ this link]. It is not very informative (now).

What works exactly?" | :"What happened to all the comments that used to be on this page? Did you have server crash? ;) You know that scribblewiki.com says nothing but 'It works', now.

:I say we instead link to a mirror of the original page or (if that can't be found) a link that describes what happened. If none other exists, maybe I will make one from memory. '''If my comment doesn't appear soon, I would say the link constitutes spam, but I wouldn't delete the link''' however, I would just tell people not to bother commenting and post also a link (from my wiki) that describes what they removed from the blog. ScibbleWiki was almost as good as Referata is, before this incident. And at least ScribbleWiki had a place for people to share information about it, but now they are trying to hide what they did, while continuing to profit from advertising; using the popularity their blog has gotten from their loosing the data of many who put too much trust in their service. | :I say we instead link to a mirror of the original page or (if that can't be found) a link that describes what happened.
