I have had a much better time on Miraheze than I ever did on FANDOM. I'm proud that I joined in the first place. - Trevor807 (talk) 02:12, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

I've been here since 2016. --Mb1209 (talk) 02:16, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

I've been here only since October of 2019, and I've already got to know the friend group- no, the family I've become a part of. - Theblazemaster4 (talk) 02:19, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

My experience on Miraheze is far superior to that of FANDOM. I don't have any remorse for it. I've enjoyed liberty, transparency, information, socialization, etc on this platform. May Miraheze prosper after 5 years of existence. Considering I joined relatively late in September 2018. Portrock1566 (talk) 03:22, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Happy birthday! Thank you so much for this amazing service! 107.170.219.5 06:49, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Happy Birthday! ❤ Now I have no excuse to rely on Fandom's 'wikis' that are more spam and ads than content. Daily5 (talk) 07:36, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Miraheze is the best. Staff, etc. It's way better than what Fandom does. I like it --Hookuai (talk) 17:27, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Happy birthday Miraheze! Thankfully Miraheze exists for good, which is a good place of liberty to host wikis, better than FANDOM unjustly closed good wikis with no reason. MariaJúlia1718 (talk) 22:21, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

I use both FANDOM and Miraheze. To be honest, Miraheze is better. - Madelinefan138 (I've seen the sesame Stake enough...) - Madelinefan138 01:51, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Happy 5th Anniversary Miraheze
Dear Miraheze,

Thank You! I have really good experience here than I had on FANDOM, I'm glad I left it and joined here, although I admit that I feel like I was a toxic user on both wikis and I think I still think that I need to improve my grammar. I've been here since March 2020. Plus, most of the users and admins here are really nice here. I hope that one day Miraheze will become more successful than FANDOM.

Anyway, Congratulations For Your Anniversary! 🎉 and Good Luck To Everyone Here! :) 🥳🙂

Your Sincerely, SkyisGreyish  05:34, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Happy Birthday, Miraheze has been great for me and it's so amazing to read all the fantastic comments from everyone who has wished us Happy Birthday. Well done everyone involved in the last 5 years, we've made a great project and here's to many more years. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c - 07:11, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

I think Miraheze is a really good wiki hosting website. If you want a wiki DONT USE FANDOM. FANDOM sucks. --PowerDagger15 (talk) 14:46, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Happy Birthday Miraheze!
Receive a pleasant congratulation from Mexico, all who make this wonderful project possible. I've been a wikis creator and publisher since 2017. It's amazing what can be done on a site like this. I'm glad to hear that miraheze has plans to stay and grow. I still have some wiki-projects in mind. Long live Miraheze! Saldan (talk) 17:54, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Happy Birthday Miraheze!
Many happy returns on your fifth anniversary, Miraheze! You are by a country mile the best wiki service I have ever used, and free to boot! May you be around for a very long time! --Red-Maned Seahorse (talk) 18:24, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Happy birthday!! Great to have you host our wiki
Thanks for hosting our wiki,

As some of the others are saying, I would never host a wiki with FANDOM....way too much monetizing and ads.

Happy birthday!
So, for my short-notshort story, I've spent 8 years looking for a good place to store all my creative data in a way I could share it with friends or future coworkers. Tried website (too high cost over time), self-hosted wikis (drive died with all data on it), blogs (clunky af), even evernote and one note (i lost my data once due to some bug, never again), and nothing came close to being as customizable and viable as personal wiki. I tried other wikifarms before and dear gods, performance was hurting me, tho I stuck with em for a year or so. Then I found Miraheze.

And, well, I need to thank you. I started being actually productive and stacks of notes on my desk are slowly diminishing thanks to yalls. I would never be as far as I am right now if not for y'all, and I really hope that one day my project will take off enough to be able to donate for your amazing service.

Happy Birthday Miraheze!
Miraheze has been amazing for me for keeping track of the internet song contests that I moderate and participate in. Long may it last. Happy 5th, here's to many more! --Mr foob (talk) 19:25, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

¡Feliz quinto aniversario!
Parece que fue ayer cuando me registré, he estado en Miraheze desde hace unos años. Miraheze ha cumplido con cada una de mis expectativas, ha mejorado mucho desde la creación de ManageWiki y el traslado de servidores además del buen trato entre todos los compañeros. ¡Feliz quinto aniversario!.

¡Un gran aplauso a todos los voluntarios que han participado en este proyecto! Saludos. --Hispano76 (talk) 22:21, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Happy 5th birthday to Miraheze!
Happy 5th birthday to Miraheze! From humble origins to a still humble present, you've accomplished quite a lot and shown remarkable growth in terms of net new wikis created, global users, total pageviews, total contributions, and so forth. Equally impressive, too, is that you've demonstrated with how little financial resources it costs to sustain Miraheze (granted, everyone is a volunteer, so that's a huge cost savings right there). This has been a critical, but somewhat understated, component to emphasizing Miraheze's stability and growth. Often, potential customers wonder about Miraheze's future, relying so heavily on donations, where others have failed; however, by being able to point to the open financials (more or less accurate within a few pounds, owing to things like currency conversion), they can then see for themselves how it can be sustainable.

Looking ahead...the major challenges, though not insurmountable by any stretch of the imagination, will be scaling up on the technology side (servers, but also things like a centralized customer e-mail ticketing system and global counter-vandalism tools) and the people side (i.e., volunteers). Miraheze is very fortunate to have a very young, and intelligent, team of system administrators who will invariably either (a) land at a post-secondary institution or (b) secure a full-time job as a software engineer with a major technology firm or startup. But, as has been demonstrated so far, Miraheze should meet or exceed these challenges without too much difficulty. :)

I look forward to being a part of the next five years and beyond! ;)

Cheers,

Happiest of Birthdays
It's remarkable to see how far this platform has come. Since I joined this platform back in 2016, I have been astounded by the leaps and bounds that have been undertaken by the various community leaders. While my contributions to the Miraheze community have become more hidden and personal to me, I am glad to be apart of this community and will always hold it dear to my heart. Thank you to all the sysadmins, stewards, wiki creators & managers, interwiki admins and most importantly, contributors, down through the years who have volunteered for this absolutely great community.

I think Miraheze is a great example of what we, as a species, can achieve collectively. Very cliche, but it's true!
