Midday on December 22nd the Wiki was shutdown by our hosting provider ([http://www.siteground.com/ SiteGround]) due to excessive CPU usage. Our average usage was about 20x the expected usage. Our options were to upgrade to a dedicated server, move to a different host (many people graciously offered both publicly and privately to host us)<sup>[http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=41019]</sup> or to radically alter the site characteristics to mitigate processing demands. In the end the decision was made to temporarily move to mavness.com for hosting with the possibility of remaining there. The holidays and the size of the wiki complicated the move, but the Wiki came back online in the early morning of December 29th. Many people have made very generous donations that will help us to ensure the Wiki's availability going forward as well.
