READ THIS! Hi everyone,
A quick update about the server situation. We have been continuing to experience server and traffic issues, but we have basically maxed out the mitigations we're able to do with our current server stack. Anything else we can do at this point would basically just be a band-aid and have minimal impact on the actual problem. I have reached out to the people in charge of our hosting about this and requested some changes to the server stack that would actually be a sustainable solution, but I can't make any guarantees here.
Some FAQs:
- Why have you not been more responsive? There really isn't much more for us to say beyond “we're aware of the issue and looking into it”. That's been the status for weeks.
- Can I set up my own alternative? No. The Scratch Team has placed a level of trust in us to maintain the Wiki to their standards, a level of trust they very rarely give to third-party sites, and I strongly doubt they are interested in passing that on to someone else. In addition, for the levels of traffic we get you will likely find you are going to be dealing with the same problems we are.
- Can I have a database dump? No. The database dump contains emails, deleted revisions, and a lot of other information we cannot give out.
- So is this the end of the Scratch Wiki? We don't know. It depends on the response I get from the folks in charge of our hosting.
- Can I join on the engineering side? No. We appreciate the offer, but we have really maxed out what we can do with our current server stack, and you need a much higher skill level for this than a lot of you probably think you do.
- Can you just implement (whatever solution I just thought of)? Probably not. We have done pretty much everything we can on our current server stack. Short of the changes I have requested, anything else would be mostly ineffective, and for why we can't just magically change our server stack, see the next FAQ.
- Why can't you just get better servers? Servers cost money, and we are also stuck with what we have for legal and administrative reasons that are out of our control.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a question, how long does it usually take to have a wiki account accepted or rejected? And to have the “view your request” page update?
I'm worried as I have made a request before (yes, i did the corrections, (removed by moderator - secret word is secret). and I pasted the code onto the project), but I never recieved even a rejection.
