 * By "anti German propaganda," he means that I don't buy into his Nazi apologist nonsense. He's victim blaming in the extreme against millions of Holocaust victims.  He's a real looney.  Inquisitor Ehrenstein (talk) 01:26, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see what you mean, eh by the way you deleted my wiki on wikihub yet?--Tyreek (talk) 21:15, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Keep wiki
Hey, do you still want Encyclopaedia National. I was wondering since Dusti removed it and I have re-added it as I did not see a request for removing this wiki. John (talk) 17:04, 23 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Of course I still want the wiki! I edit Encyclopedia National, Faalingar Wiki, and Encyclopaedia Oranica.--Tyreek (talk) 00:27, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * That was a mistake lol. I saw two encyclopedia's and thought I added Oranica twice. I didn't look closely enough to see one was National and one was Oranica. Thanks John. D u s t i *Let's talk!* 02:34, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Orain's FIRST donation drive!!
As many of you may have seen, Orain has been undergoing some significant changes. To be frank, we've outgrown our current home. With 288 communities, 1,000+ users, and sites like All The Tropes growing daily - we're beginning to look at the long term future of the project. With current funding levels, we can last four more months after we upgrade to some new servers. Our last server change wasn't that long ago, yes, but it was done to improve the overall stability and functionality of the site.

We've launched an Indegogo campaign to raise $5,000 to accomplish a couple of things:


 * We would be able to move to a stable, secure, short to mid term server that has the capability to not only host us now but continue hosting us even if we grow significantly
 * Begin the process of investigating solutions that include us purchasing our own private servers
 * Begin working on expanding our current abilities and addressing some of our limitations
 * Developing some extensions, widgets, and potentially a mobile application to improve the end-user experience
 * .. and finally being reaching out to other mid to large size communities and bring them into the Orain family.

To increase the likelihood of donations we've included some incentives that we'd love to send out including t-shirts, hoodies, blankets, and some new userrights - Donor and VIP which will come with their own individual perks.

We appreciate your generosity and look forward on continuing to offer a fun, free, collaborative community for all to enjoy.

Can I ask you for $1?
We're 9 days into our 30 day campaign, and we've raised $537. That's fantastic! The idea of Orain, our message, our purpose - it means something. The belief that there can be a community led, a community ran, and a community funded website that's not ad-driven or profit based works.

Our community has believed in us from the beginning, and I firmly believe that our community will stand by us and continue to support us. It's okay if we don't reach our $5,000 goal. $5,000 was a best case scenario. $1,000 enables us to stay online another year. It enables us to keep looking at alternatives and other ways to stay online and cut costs. $500 halves that time and shortens our research ability. 11% of our goal is better than 0% of our goal.

I've made a pledge from the beginning. I've vowed to never force ads on this community for the purpose of keeping Orain alive. Ads are what separate us from the other farms we compete with. I will give my personal funds before I enable ads by force. Ads are a nuisance that you should have a voice in. We've toyed with and are developing the idea of individual wikis who want ads within their community. Some people can't donate a dollar, and that's okay. That's their way of giving and I'm down for that.

To the backers who have helped so far, Thank you!

If you haven't had a chance to donate so far, please please do. Your $1 will help make a difference in the WikiFarm world. You can help us stay online, free, and ad free.

If you have a little more than a dollar and want an Orain t-shirt, we've got those. We've also got hoodies, coffee cups, and blankets. Most of these things will have to be purchased in bulk so there's likely going to be an online store for the leftover donation drive items once the campaign is over.

As always, I want to hear from you. If you have ideas to help our Indiegogo campaign please send them to me or email me.
