ShoutWiki

Hi, I'm a staff member on ShoutWiki. We are not about profit. All money we make goes towards further improving ShoutWiki, improving our hardware and software, hopefully paying staff in future etc. Therefore, the table on your main page is wrong. Could you fix it? It would be much better if you didn't jump to conclusions about us. Thank you, Solar Dragon (talk) 09:44, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Apologies, I have corrected this for you. John (talk) 12:32, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Wikia

Whilst I don't dispute Wikia are for profit, using what is essentially an anti-wikia page is hardly a neutral reference regardless of the feelings of the author(s) of thispage. Might I suggest [1] which is used as the reference for enwiki's Wikia article when describing them as for-profit?

Also, Wikia is on 1.19.13 :) 88.108.12.108 23:36, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Recent Orain Issues

Hello all,

I first want to start by thanking everyone who's remained loyal to the project, and who's been around to assist. Each and every one of you are the reason that this project is so successful, alive, and doing well.

We've recently ran into issues regarding RamNode, where our servers are held. What I didn't realize was that there are currently two (now three) different invoices for RamNode. When a payment reminder was sent, a PayPal transaction was automatically set up to handle such. When another reminder was sent (RamNode sends three), I assumed that the payment simply hadn't been applied yet. This is an oversight on my part, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

We were recently down for two days due to a security breach. Our VPS had been compromised due to a patch not being applied quickly enough, and as such, our VPS had been used to send DoS attacks. We worked with RamNode directly to secure our VPS and ensure that such activity couldn't continue.

I have made myself available, as the Founder of Orain, to the active Stewards who can contact me directly should there be any issues. We just recently renewed our SSL certificate for another year, and will continue to strive to better ourselves, our services, and thus our community.

For the Staff, Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 15:27, 14 July 2014 (BST)

Nagios and an another third-party SSL checker says that the SSL cert hasn't been renewed yet. Is that true or is it misleading information? Btw, you're back, that's great. Southparkfan (talk) 15:45, 14 July 2014 (BST)

We have the voucher for the cert. - it was secured this morning. It's now just a matter of installing it. Thanks for checking :) Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 15:46, 14 July 2014 (BST)

I'm going to get around to installing it with in the next hour. John (talk) 16:42, 14 July 2014 (BST)

New Featured Wiki // Translations Needed

Hello all! We now have a new featured Wiki -- All The Tropes! I've updated the English side - so if my multilingual friends could provide translations - that would be awesome :) (I've also updated the main page protection to edit=admin, I'm not sure if that messes with the ability to provide translations or not?
