Title: SFGAmWiki is Down...

SFGAmWiki will be down until further notice, looks like the entire ScribbleWiki (our hosting service) network is down. I'll post here when things are back to normal again.

All ScribbleWiki services are currently down, we’re talking to our datacentre right now it seems to be a network problem on there end. We will update this blog with any new information.
Edit: Some wikis have been restored, no data has been lost. All wikis should be up by this morning. |

| We are still working on it, we’ve called in an outside firm to help us with the problem. Your wikis are all still their, the server just is having trouble associating your subdomain with each wiki. |

Things are not looking good. The guy who runs ScribbleWiki canceled my subscription to keep Google ads off the site. Trying to get a hold of him, but my patience is getting thin.
If the Wiki is not back by next weekend then we will be switching to a new Wiki service.

Well what I feared would happen has happened...

Hello,
Effective immediately ScribbleWiki is shutting down all services. To all paid customers, your subscriptions have been canceled and any payments you have with us will be refunded immediately.
The data crash was more of a problem then we originally thought and our data centres backup system did not work as they were suppose to.
Regards,
ScribbleWiki Support Team |
This means we've lost everything!! Articles, images, infoboxes, all of it.
I will restore the Wiki, but I will need some serious help doing it because we are starting completely over!
Between my work, school, car show schedules, and the reconstruction plans I had for SFGAmZone, I cannot do it alone, not until Winter at least.
PLEASE help me out here! I don't think I've ever asked for other people's help with my own stuff!
I will post updates in this thread when we have a new Wiki hosting service and our domain name has been changed to redirect to the correct Wiki. If anyone is willing to help out please post here.

Google's cache is still up; that's your best chance to salvage whatever you can!

Was only able to screenshot the front page. Won't let me get to the source code so it can be copied to the new Wiki.
We currently have a new Wiki request at Wikia, and I'm hoping that this situation will go in a better direction. I was hoping to do the construction work on SFGAmZone during this fall, but it seems like I will have to re-build the SFGAmWiki first.

We have a new location at Wikia! Once I get things off the ground I'll announce the grand re-opening.
