What will become of Savagepedia?

[Sitting Duck]

So I was making my usual visit to Savagepedia to see if anything new had been posted and saw the announcement that the host Wikispaces is closing down later this year. Are there any plans to transfer the content to a different wiki?

[Shoggoth]

Nooooo! I hope whoever is in charge is planning on moving it.

[Ndreare]

Jus it just that they need funds for bandwidth?

[Kristian Serrano]

Just caught this today. We're working on migrating it.

That was super cool to make it all one easy download.

We're in the process of migrating it to http://www.savagepedia.net/

If you want to download the zip archive (MediaWiki format), I've made it publicly available:

There is also a service here https://civihosting.com/wikispaces-migration/ to automatically migrate your Wikispaces wiki to DokuWiki...

Yeah, you already spammed us about it on Wikispaces.

Spread the word!

What happened with this? For the past several weeks, going to that URL shows it up for sale from Bluehost.

[Kristian Serrano]

That's unfortunate. I know Ryan Wynne was looking to sell it to someone who wanted to take over the project because he was dropping out of the RPG community altogether.

The Savagepedia content still needs a home, but I don't have the bandwidth to head that effort.

[Ndreare]

What kind of cost is that?
Is it something patreon could support?

[Kristian Serrano]

It depends on what we're trying to pay for, but I imagine so.

[Kristian Serrano]

I've now added WikiText and HTML versions of the archive.

It appears that savagepedia.net is offline. Are there any other plans to bring these resources to another platform?

Coincidentally, Christopher Landauer of the Rocky Mountain Savages and the Savage Cast reached out to me last night asking the same. He's going to take a stab at trying to stand up a Wiki and importing the content. He might be able to recruit members of the Rocky Mountain Savages.
