I tried becoming a member of the wiki, and putting a comment down about how I couldn't get in. All there is to do now is wait and see :/

Wikispaces is a subscription service now. We are trying to rehost on here...it'll be a little while but it won't be gone forever.

hi guys,

I wish they would have given me a heads up it was happening this weekend! Wikispaces announced they were removing their free services a few months ago. The plan moving forward is to set up a self-hosted wiki on the CA domain. Most of the technical work is done in terms of getting the hosting sorted and the content (as of a month ago or so) is in place, but the formatting is a mess since wikispaces and mediawiki speak different languages. Wikispaces also indicated they would set up a redirect to the new site when it's resdy.

I can get the new site ready to launch this week, but I would really appreciate if a few people could PM me who are willing to help boring wiki grunt work in preparation. It would be great if you had wiki experience or woild be willing to learn.

The new wiki is going to be a lot easier to work with (ideally) and I think it's cool that the CA brand will be even stronger!

Hello All,

I set up the old site years ago and have noticed a huge surge in applications for membership lately. But, like all of you, I can't do anything without a paid membership. Have fun setting up a new site!

this happened at the worst time (right as I was recording a cover) but luckily the lyrics were on sonic booms photobucket.

yeah it's a dead man walking so i disabled editing on all the pages. keep an eye out for the new site coming soon and make your edits then!

e: if you really want to satisfy your wiki editing addiction then PM me and you can start working on the new site before it goes live!
