-MyWikiBiz has served the public as an openly-edited wiki since January 2008, facilitating over ''8 million page views''. Some years ago, we learned that being '''too''' open to the public meant that spammers had a field day. Nowadays, our site frustrates spammers, because while the content is FREE for anyone to read, we ask user who want to edit these pages first make a small, '''one-time payment of USD $5''' to open a User account. When users are required pay for the privilege of editing and publishing, they pay attention to our guidelines.

+MyWikiBiz has served the public as an openly-edited wiki since January 2008, facilitating an astounding ''2.5 million page views'' since then.  However, the 130,000+ pages of the wiki have grown too large to be supported by our server budget. The site keeps crashing every few weeks. At least 85% of the pages are content placeholders for link-spam, which has decimated Google's valuation of our PageRank. We cannot go forward with this model any longer.
-* Sell your products and services here.  If you're an [[Directory:Schiepan|'''artist''']], sell your paintings.  If you're an [[Directory:Andrew_Lande|'''author''']], sell your books.  If you're an [[Directory:Garreth_Westwood|'''attorney''']], proffer your services.  (Those are just a few occupation that begin with the letter "'''a'''" -- imagine what's possible with "'''b'''" through "'''z'''"!)
+Here is the tentative plan going forward:
-* Showcase maps, videos, games, and information widgets on your pages.  You can't do that on Wikipedia!
+# The 50 User accounts with the greatest number of edits to the site since 2008 will be grandfathered back in as free accounts with full edit rights, except for those accounts that were clearly intended primarily for advertising and link-spam. All other User accounts would be closed.
