Admin Forum:What happened to my wiki? It says that it's been closed.

Ahh! I don't understand what happened. How do I get it live again? How do I get access to my content? This was hosted nowhere else. http://bustyresources.wikia.com. — hmwith (talk) 20:46, September 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Wikis are most commonly closed if they violate the Terms of Use (with a name like "bustyresources" -- it sounds to me like your wiki may have contained inappropriate content). See Community Central:Closed Wikia for more information. Please use Special:Contact to write an email to Wikia staff explaining the situation, they should be able to explain why the wiki was closed. Either way, don't worry, your content has not been permanently deleted. You will, at the very least, be able to get a database dump to download your content and host it elsewhere.


 * It was a resource for busty women (to learn how to measure bra size correctly, where to find bras in our size, how to convert bra sizes between different countries, etc.). It wasn't pornography-related in any way, and there were no photographs of breasts. I already read that page (with no answers) and emailed staff (no reply). If pictures of bras are inappropriate on a page discussing bras, that's absurd. None were even sheer. If there was an issue with an image/article, for example, why wouldn't the image/article in question just be deleted... instead of the entire wiki? That seems excessive. — hmwith (talk) 21:37, September 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * It can sometimes take up to 2-3 business days before you get an email reply from Wikia. Right now it is Friday afternoon in San Francisco, California, USA, where Wikia's main offices are. Staff do not work on weekends. If you just sent the email today or yesterday, you should expect a reply Monday or Tuesday. If it's been more than 3 business days and you still haven't received a reply, you should resend the email. Otherwise, all you can really do is wait. Sorry :(


 * My wiki was deleted for a secret reason that wasn't shared with me, and it's affecting my entire subreddit. Now, I might have to wait 5 days until I even hear why they removed it? What? Why aren't people told why their wikis are deleted? Is this common practice? It would literally take seconds to give a generic explanation. How do I advocate change regarding this procedure? Wikia is run very different than WP... — hmwith (talk) 21:49, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
