[TheList] Radiowiki updates

Fri Apr 17 11:11:05 AEST 2020

Hi Guys,

I really do apricate the offer! When I started the wiki 12+ years ago I
decided that it would be free for all for as long as I could make it so.
Over the years I have got it to the point where it takes very little time
and little money to keep it alive. It had grown to the point where it
receives about 400 visitors a day or if your oldschool, 26,000 "hits".

This is a graph of 24 hours of requests:

Even with this load the current hosting hardly feels a thing.

I don't think of it as 'mine'. I'm just the caretaker. The wiki would be
nothing without the hard work all you guys do updating and adding content.
So as it stands I am more than happy to keep radiowiki up and running, free
and advertisement free just like I said I would 12+ years ago :D.

If that ever changes in the future and I was unable to keep the lights on
then I of course would come back to you all and we would as a group work
out a way forward.

I would also like to thank our team of list moderators and wiki mods in
reality these guys do way more day to day stuff than me.

Stay safe,

Chris021
