Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ User talk:Jack Phoenix: "If you want to move to a different host from ShoutWiki, we'd obviously be sad to see you go, but we feel that it's only fair to honor the community's request to have our copy of the wiki deleted."[1]
- ↑ User talk:Jack Phoenix: "When premium features (such as ad-free hosting) are released, the prices will be available on ShoutWiki Hub. As of now we haven't released the features yet, so the prices aren't available either."[2]
- ↑ Wikia recently started offering ad-free wikis for $19.95 a month. Any wiki with less than 20,000 pageviews per month is eligible for this program."[3]. On November 24, 2010 the program was still ongoing (see Still ongoing?)
