On 12 January 2008, the main database of the website malfunctioned, rendering all its contents unusable. Additionally, all [[:Category:Wiki Backups|backups]] since October 2007 were discovered to be corrupted, so the entire wiki was 'warped' to the state of three months before. By the end of that month, the damage had mostly been cleaned up, as the community had joined forces in recovering the lost content from caches of other websites such as [[:Category:Google|Google]]. The incident has since become known as [https://TVTropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheGreatCrash 'The Great Crash']. Since that time, the wiki has grown, and all the lost pages have been recreated or fixed. | On 12 January 2008, the main database of the website malfunctioned, rendering all its contents unusable.
