	After the disaster of the problems with ShoutWiki, I know many of you want to move away elsewhere, mainly to independence. We will not be moving to another host for sure so it's ShoutWiki or independence. I am writing a list of positives and negatives towards ShoutWiki and Independence.

	Solar, do you have any new information about what preventative measures ShoutWiki has taken to make another less crash less likely? "Multiple offsite backups" is NOT a satisfactory response. Specifically, I would like to know whether they've sacked the host who served them so poorly during the outage. And if they feel that information about their business dealings is too sensitive to reveal, then that's too bad and not a good enough reason not to answer. Based on what happened during the outage, it seems to me that their choice of server host has a definite bearing on how likely future problems are, and that IS fair game to ask questions about. So, any new info? Thank you! -- [[User:Mythigator\|Mythigator]] 15:00, 12 May 2011 (UTC)		Solar, do you have any new information about what preventative measures ShoutWiki has taken to make another less crash less likely?

		+	:They haven't sacked them - yet. However, they are looking at getting their old hardware they have lying around and using that as a backup system in case the datacentre screw them over again. This has not been implemented yet though. [[User:Solar Dragon\|Solar Dragon]] 17:23, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

	Don' expect this wiki to be deleted if you move, Shoutwiki will say something along the lines of: "You are not the only fans and we want the people who stay to still be able to edit a wiki on the simpsons", even if all the admins etc vote to remove it and you get 100% of the editors to as well, it will stay here, some incompetent user will however adopt it and add a bunch of useless stuff though.

 ****The IRC response you got from Skizzerz addresses the data loss but not necessarily the month-long outage. What steps have they taken to ensure (as best as possible) that an outage of the same magnitude won't recur, and in the event that it does, that it won't take over a month to get things working again? If the multiple off-site backups Skizzerz are alluded to are also intended to provide for a speedier recovery in the event of a major outage, just how would they come into play? I need more info yet, please. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 19:13, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 *I'm not for or against the move, but won't this wiki's move lower ShoutWiki's ratings? Everyone's done good, but the crash destroyed Autopedia and Simpsons Fanon. Is there even a way to ensure that ShoutWiki is better than Wikia, even with this wiki gone? Just my two cents.
