STATEMENT FROM MIRAHEZE LIMITED'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Directors have met to consider where the future of Miraheze as a
project lies - taking into account recent events, long term
sustainability problems, financial situation and doing the right
thing by the communities we serve. Having consulted remaining
technical volunteers, the Board has decided that is it not in the
project's best interests to continue operating long term.

We understand that this decision may be upsetting for the communities
that have been with us for numerous years, or even since the start,
to hear. We absolutely empathise with you. Owen and Alexander are
fully committed to seeing the sustained growth of Miraheze and have
dedicated the last 3.5 years as Directors to ensure Miraheze Limited
is in a position to provide the best platform for the project's
survival. Compared to where we were before 2019, Miraheze is in a
much better financial position, has drastically improved its legal
standing and compliance and has taken strides to improve the
technological stack behind the project through the right levels of
investment being open for technical volunteers to harness.

A timeline is being proposed as follows:

 1. Effective immediately, Miraheze will unfortunately be suspending
    future wiki creations on the platform except in exceptional
    circumstances.
 2. From now until the 31st of August 2023, Miraheze will maintain
    operational for reading and editing activities.
 3. From 1st of September, Miraheze will begin a transitional period
    as it winds down its physical presence in the datacenter. We will
    give at least 7 days notice, but between September 1st 2023 and
    October 1st 2023, Miraheze will cease to exist as a wiki farm.
 4. From the date above for an indefinite period of time as funds
    allow, Miraheze will have all backups of all wikis available upon
    request. The domain will remain active with information
    displaying how to access these dumps.
