Hi everyone. We have moved RemyWiki and SilentBlue to a new server, and editing is re-enabled globally. All accounts that were tempbanned within the past couple of weeks have been unbanned.

I wanted to give a shout-out to a handful of people, whose help was absolutely essential over the past couple of weeks. Without this team, this site wouldn't still be here. I wanna acknowledge the work of GlaringRadiokid, Morning Blue, t7r, Thunderbird, MENDES, Hyphen and viddy. Everybody jumped into action as soon as possible, doing everything within their capabilities to ensure that the site would still be around. This team jumped into action, and literally mirrored the entirety of both sites just in case we couldn't get a hold of the database.

I wanted to extend a huge thank you to viddy for stepping up to the plate and offering to run the necessary infrastructure for RemyWiki. Running a MediaWiki instance of this size is no small feat, and I wholeheartedly acknowledge that what we asked of you on short notice was a lot. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

On a technical note, everyone will be asked to change their password when logging in for the first time; this is due to some measures that we have taken while migrating the website to ensure the security of everyone's accounts. We are not planning to expire passwords beyond this one time.

To every reader, editor, Discord community member, moderator and admin, thank you for your support for the past 17 years, and I hope that we can keep RemyWiki going for another 17 years or more!

Thank you,
