OK so this isn't necessarily Orain-related but I thought I would start a new, secondary wiki farm called CentralWiki. It's to gather extra space if Orain doesn't work, then some users can move their wikis to this farm; of course you could still use Orain expanded but CW might help with a large number of wikis. So I was just wanting to see if any current Orain users would like to help with this. Tau Ceti (talk) 00:23, 14 January 2015 (GMT)

I'm not sure why you're under the impression Orain won't "work". Our funding campaign is going great, and I've already made a personal pledge to keep Orain alive indefinitely. How about you made a donation instead of creating a new farm to help us stay alive, and online? :) Dusti*Let's talk!* 01:52, 14 January 2015 (GMT)
Not that Orain is not working, I just thought that as we have limited staff and limited wiki resources, that CW could help as a sort of fork; besides this is a good project and I want to see if anyone wanted to help. Tau Ceti (talk) 06:13, 14 January 2015 (GMT)
Limited staff? Ish. We're always looking for more help. Limited resources? Not at all, that's why we're actually expanding our servers. The best way to help isn't to fork off, but to offer your help and services here. Why not offer to be a global sysop or make a donation to help out our resource costs. Running a farm is labour intensive and very few realize that. My suggestion is to try and help us, not compete with us. Dusti*Let's talk!* 06:18, 14 January 2015 (GMT)
Then it's surely possible that I could offer to help here. It's not competition, but I think I might offer to be as global sysop. How does it work? Tau Ceti (talk) 09:47, 14 January 2015 (GMT)
You'd join the other global sysop's in fighting spam. Here's where you apply and the community voices their opinion. Dusti*Let's talk!* 14:50, 14 January 2015 (GMT)
