This can only be a good thing. It means we have flexibility should we need 
to relocate the wiki.

I agree it wouldn't be good to have a second wiki competing with Lyorn 
Records... Perhaps there could be a smaller wiki section on the new 
(reborn? Revivified? Reincarnated? Undead?) Dragaera site simply for 
organizational purposes... Wikis have lots of good uses beyond what the 
Lyorn Records is doing.

...But there's no big rush on any of this. I just always try to use server 
crashes as an opportunity to rebuild my sites in more powerful and 
efficient ways than I had before.
