The rumors of the Paragon Wiki's death...

This is kind of odd, and I wanted to address it before any rumors spread too far or wide, especially given our activities this week. Someone PMed me today that there was chatter in-game that the Paragon Wiki is going to shut down in a year, according to the guy that created it. I don't know who they were referring to, but in reality, that would be me. I started the site, I currently own all of the domains associated with the Titan Network, and I am the lessee of the server on which all Titan Network sites--including the Paragon Wiki--reside.

The truth of the matter is that this has never even been mentioned in passing as a topic of conversation. Not by me, not among any of our admins. I have no idea where someone may have gotten this idea, but it is 100% not true. If I put some gray matter to it, I could probably contrive some bizarre circumstances under which the sites might not still be up in a year (or two, or five, or twenty...), but it's never really occurred to me to try.

Either someone's making stuff up to have a good laugh on folks, or there was a really bizarre misunderstanding. Maybe someone was talking about another site or something, I don't know. I haven't heard of any other sites that are worried about shutting down.

So if you see anyone making this odd claim, please point them to this thread, or just tell them to search for TonyV's post with the word cwm in it, a Welsh word for a bowl-like valley (and an awesome play to make your opponent challenge your word and snag you an extra turn in Scrabble™), and which I will only use in this post in order to make it easy to find via a quick search.

Okay, now that that is taken care of, I'm going to go play my crwth for a while.

So, what you're saying is you're shutting down the servers in a year, did I read that right?

Man I'm gonna miss the wiki.

I hadn't heard that rumor, but this seems like a good place to thank you and your colleagues for the work you do maintaining an excellent source for CoX information.

Bye, Paragonwiki! I'll miss you!

And, can I have your stuff?

I blame Stu. Good ol' Stu Pidity.

This thread might not help further the truth either, considering all the lazy eyeballs who may just skip and glance through the first few replies.

I recommend editing your OP with large bold letters.

The Paragon Wiki is dead, long live The Paragon Wiki.

It was nice while it lasted!

I never heard that but glad it's not true. Paragonwiki is an invaluable resource for most of us. Thanks again for all the work you guys put into it.

I think the real rumor was City of Heroes shutting down in a year, which of course would lead to the Wiki shutting down.

it could also have been a misconstrue of something similar like the wikia version shutting down lol

Oh by the way, search terms of three letters or less don't work.

I don't think the game or wiki is going to be shut down in a year >_>

I heard something about it being shut down last year...?


Or it will be shut down in the Last Year.


Now that I think of it, I think it was someone telling me to shut up. In a year? In an ear? I don't remember.

LOL, at this thread.

You kinda asked for it Tony
