Due to changes in licensing policy from both Wikia and Far Future Enterpises the Traveller Wiki can no longer remain at it's current host. It's a sad, but not unexpected, turn of events.

I will be contacting the Wikia staff later today to get the process of removing the wiki. You can get a backup of the Traveller Wiki from the Statistics Page. I will be keeping a copy as well.

I am hoping to put the Traveller wiki back up again on another host which allows for more compatible licensing. I've not made a final decision and part of the reason for posting this note is to ask for your assistance in recommending one. The requirements are:

  • Free hosting - there isn't a real organization which can pay for hosting.
  • Ability to set License compatible with FFE FUP

Also on the wishlist is the host should use the latest version of Mediawiki to make the transferring easier.

I will be posting this to a few of the Traveller fora I lurk in. If you know of any other places or people that might be interested, please feel free to send along the notice.

I thank everyone for their contributions, energy, and enthusiasm. It has been a good seven years.
