I just received an email from a presumably new founder of ShoutWiki:

Dear ShoutWiki user, I am writing to you because our database tells us that you have at some point in the past, created a wiki on ShoutWiki.com through the CreateWiki interface. As some of you may be aware, there have been a number of human created issues involving the ShoutWiki site over the period of the last few years. Firstly, I wish to apologize for those issues caused by my predecssors. Secondly, as you may know, we're in the process of getting the site back online. Currently there are around 20 databases on the server, instead of the 500 which the master database believes we have. According to my latest predecessor, we have a backup of all contents of the previous server, wail. The point of this e-mail is simple, I would like to know how many of you have wikis, and which of those that you would like to imported to the new server. I will warn you first however, that these contents may be out of date, there are contents of 300-odd wikis at archive.org that I can attempt to reimport if its significantly newer than the database import. I also apologise for any of you recieving this e-mail multiple times, as this is taken directly from the CreateWiki creation log database, and I am rushing to get this important e-mail to you. We will be working on fine tuning these "mailing lists" in future, including removing anyone that requested a wiki to be deleted, as you may still be getting this e-mail currently. Thank you for your support, -- Lewis Cawte Chief Technical Officer, ShoutWiki

Not sure if this really means that the wikifarm would be fully recovered, but at least they seem to mean that they will be importing from the complete dump we did earlier as WikiTeam, so looks like we did great work? :)
