Many former regular users of WikiWikiWeb have complained that the discussion on WikiWikiWeb has deteriorated since about 1999 or 2000, and some of them have described that deterioration as the [http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?HeatDeathOfWiki heat death of Wiki].

Around 2005 [[Ward Cunningham]] stopped editing content of his wiki altogether. This was [http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AbuseCase his last little edit restoring content]


In early December 2014, [[WikiIndex]] user [[user:manorainjan]] -- who was banned from WikiWikiWeb in late November 2014 for demonstrating anti-community activity and failing to engage in dialogue with the Wiki community over his apparent attempts to add a "category none" to every uncategorised page -- began frequently and continuously (over 12 hours per day) spamming the WikiWikiWeb with attempts to preserve approximately 15 pages he created shortly before and after the ban.  On the WikiWikiWeb, bans were externally enforced via the use of a 'bot that automatically reverted edits made by banned users.  The result was that the WikiWikiWeb "new recent changes" page at [[http://c2.com/cgi/RecentChanges http://c2.com/cgi/RecentChanges]] frequently looked like the following:

On February 1st, 2015, the WikiWikiSystemNotice page introduced a complete re-write of the WikiWikiWeb software platform which had been in development since 2011.  Notably, deployment of the new software platform was apparently accelerated by the abuse described above.  According to the WikiWikiSystemNotice:
== The End & Fork ==
On the first of February 2015 Ward finally turned of editing of this wiki completely after he had completed the preparations for a fork to the [http://c2.fed.wiki.org/ Federated Wiki] on a completely rewritten engine.
 


<blockquote>
After twenty years of service I'm pleased to announce a complete rewrite of wiki as a single page application with a distributed database which will last us for at least 20 years, maybe 200.
see [[http://c2.fed.wiki.org http://c2.fed.wiki.org]]</blockquote>
<blockquote>
We've recently endured abuse that has moved our conversion date forward before we were fully prepared. I apologize for this. Expect the new to be well aligned with the capabilities of the modern internet with plenty of opportunity for participation that was not possible before. Thank you all.</blockquote>
