The long and gruelling nightmare is over.
Never forget these dark days, my friends.
In all seriousness, my impatience aside, I'm relieved. Thanks to all involved.

Hmm. The Wiki is still down for me.

The fix may need to re-propagate. It is working for me, so you may need to clear your browser cache

Hmmm, nope, clearing my cache hasn't done it. I checked it on my phone as well, same result. How weird. I wonder if it's a North America thing.

I'm in Texas and it's working for me.

And it's back for me. Whew.
It's amazing how much one comes to lean on the Wiki. Being without it is like missing a finger.
Thanks for the responses.

Is the Wiki having trouble again? It keeps timing out for me, but the is the only webpage that seems to do that.

I'm seeing some sluggishness compared to most other times, but not to the point of timing out.
It is sluggish on this level quite a bit of the time. I would be happy to fund with patreon if the folks hosting it or the map set an account up.
If whoever is hosting it uses cloudflare for domain services then they do offer the option to block detected AI crawlers, which might help.

We are looking into this and yes, it is the bots doing it. Currently monitoring things and we may be dedicating more CPU power for the peaks - but that may just encourage the little rascals, so this is something we are keeping an eye on.

The Traveller Map and Wiki are dragging and timing out. I say it's time to stop looking at the issue and address it, though I have no idea what that entails. They're presently useless.

FYI, I run TravellerMap personally, with hosting costs paid out of pocket. Mongoose isn't responsible for it. I have live monitoring that lets me know if there are any notable outages and... nothing lately, fortunately. FYI here's the dashboard showing the last week of activity.

@MongooseMatt Can we get a button on the Mongoose website where we could donate money to the upkeep of the Traveller Wiki and the Travellermap?

When I tried loading it earlier today, it took more than ten minutes to populate. It might not have issues, but whatever it was pulling data from sure did.
Really reluctant to do that, seems a bit... grubby.
Let us look into this, we are looking at a general revitalisation/re-doing of online tools as a whole.

It would be grubby if you did it to raise money for you. It is not grubby to raise money for people running a service for free and shouldering the whole cost themselves. We all benefit from the Travellermap and a good Wiki.
Do you have a patreon or something similar? I will very happily contribute. You have written a product that gives me and my players a great deal of pleasure.

I agree with this whole-heartedly!
