Miraheze-2-year

 Miraheze celebrates two years!  Two years ago today, the first steps were taken to start up Miraheze. A very small group of people started working together to not only offer people the chance to make their own communities, but to give people the chance to join the Miraheze community.

This celebration is not just about how Miraheze has grown over the last two years, but it is also about the communities that have grown with us. Miraheze is honored to support each of the communities that utilize our service.

We've proven yet again that it is possible to run a nonprofit wiki farm entirely on community support. After two years, our growing expenses are still covered completely by donations from our users, with a growing buffer that will allow Miraheze to continue growing. Our staff is completely volunteer based, and anyone is welcome to contribute to our software. So thank you everyone for your contributions that help make Miraheze so great!

From here, we're looking to expand in the future. In the last year we enabled ManageWiki on all wikis, allowing bureaucrats to change their wiki's sitename and choose whether or not their wiki is public. We plan on continuously improving the features available to our users.

We want to continue to grow our existing communities, and promote Miraheze as a platform. And of course, we will continue to improve site stability and availability while increasing available features.

Over two years, Miraheze has lost some of our staff, and gained new staff members. Although losing volunteers can have a significant impact on our community, we are thankful for all contributors help and believe we are still striving. I would like to take this opportunity to specifically thank John, one of Miraheze's founders, for his immensly valuable contributions to Miraheze. Although he is no longer a staff member, John still continues to support Miraheze. I would also like to take the opportunity to welcome Void, Miraheze's newest (and first non-system administrator) S|Steward.

Thanks to everyone who chooses to use Miraheze. Happy two year anniversary, Miraheze!
