==Major outages== | |||
ShoutWiki had a major [[:Category:Cannot connect|outage]] on June 17, 2011 that lasted until around January 10, 2012. Since it took this long time to set up a new server, and probably many wikis would have been moved to another host, staff decided that they'll recover existing wikis on demand. | ShoutWiki had a major [[:Category:Cannot connect|outage]] on June 17, 2011 that lasted until around January 10, 2012.
