Status of BB4W wiki?

In 2014 this was under closure threat?
Have migration plans (to wikia) been put in place so there isn't another "panic"?

Read the thread: Draw your own conclusions.
Converting it to a paid-for Wiki isn't a realistic option, unless some philanthropic person wants to contribute the $50 per year cost.
rtr2:
To me, $50 pa does not seem a significant cost, and am willing to be a cost partner (not sure what the correct term is) in its upkeep. Can you give me more information for this. If you require personal details, I think you have my e-mail address.
I don't see how it could work, really. Anything involving money cannot be handled 'informally'; for example I might need to show it in my annual accounts or declare it for taxation purposes. I don't fancy having to invoice you (and maybe others) on a monthly or annual basis!
Richard wants it all to go tits up as far as I can see

As far as saving the resource is concerned I'm sure I'm not the only one who has downloaded all the pages.
To ensure it can never be lost It can be chucked up on somewhere that is always freely accessible to internet users and won't introduce any complications.
(like the pirate bay they have a bunch of legal stuff as well as the not-legal stuff in places like TPB)
