Miraheze celebrates nine years! 🎉

🎈 July 22, 2015 - July 22, 2024 🍰

90% of companies (including non-profits) never make it off the ground. 80% of them fizzle within the first 5 years.

Yet here we are, Miraheze has defeated the odds. Of course, we owe this all to you, our users, volunteers, and donors. Without your steadfast support, Miraheze would not be here nor would it be able to provide the services we do. When Miraheze was founded, we never envisioned that we would one day be home to 8,000 communities with over 400,000 users. From NATO to official wikis for a variety of topics to small, tight-knit communities, Miraheze hosts it all.

This past year a lot has happened. In December the community voted to merge resources with WikiTide foundation which now runs Miraheze. From January to March moved to newer, faster servers, which gave us considerable performance improvements. You may have noticed that wikis load much faster than they used to.

We've seen a tremendous amount of new communities on Miraheze and we can't feel anything other than joy. Miraheze is truly a one-of-a-kind wiki farm like none other. We are so grateful you have chosen Miraheze for your wiki hosting needs. This past year was a challenge but we look out to the future hopeful. We owe this all to our users, thank you! Here's to 9 more years of Miraheze and more!
