Do you know the exact date wasteof1 and the Wiki were shut down?

sorry for the non-exact answers but here are the timespans

  • the wiki was announced to be taken down on february 13, and i noted it still being up on the 18th as well as it being down by the 24th, so that’s a 6 day span

  • i have a little bit more information on wasteof1: the development server was originally exposed to the internet for 1 day on november 30, 2020, and was in use from about 2:30PM - 3:54PM EST under the domain wasteof.money (the only time wasteof1 used the root domain). after some development, jeffalo put wasteof1 up on dev.wasteof.money on december 21, 2020 (on this day the db was reset a few times). the db was reset again on january 29, 2021. dev.wasteof was confirmed up on may 3rd, 2021, july 23, 2021, and august 27, 2021, but my guess is that is was only up for a small amount of time for the latter 2. wasteof1 was also up for a small amount of time on april 19, 2022 per request of rens2 (professional wasteof.money user) who said “I forgot what wasteof1 was like“, however it was only up from 1:26PM - 1:28PM EST. on august 7, 2022 wasteof1 was back up momentarily by request of tnix, and it was up from 8:29PM-8:40PM EST. wasteof1 as not been up since to my knowlege. during my research i also noticed that jeffalo in 2022 gave a history lesson so that can be used for cross referencing.

Thank you for the answers :)

during my research

Do you have sources for your research? Wikipedia doesn’t accept original research (WP:NOR) and even though the sources I use aren’t independent newspapers and books and such I’d rather they still have reliable references

all information i got from public messages in the griffpatch discord server i am not sure how to cite those

never thought I’d see wasteof in Wikipedia

even when it’s in the user namespace

Hopefully it'll be in the main namespace before a couple of years
