Warning ! In May 2026 our (cheap - you have what you pay for) website host servers were severely compromised and the vendor had to fully erase all data, including back-up - the Memscyclopedia website is now being restored gradually, but some data will be irremediably lost (e.g. database of contact after 2016).
Let's use that as a reminder to always back-up data in different places/vendors/countries if you think they are critical... even if they are on the cloud.
