So the past 2 weeks I have actually been going through the Wayback Machine, and it turns out that this is not the first time something like this has happened to MoTK. There is a lot that i found, apparently the current iteration of shrinemaiden.org seems to go back to April of 2009.
A much better written account of the past than I could ever write.
https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=8592.0
A completely condensed version of what I found in the Wayback Machine:
Originally, in April of 2004 was the first iteration of Maidens of the Kaleidoscope, made by someone named Katchura under the domain shrinemaiden.com. Sometime in either 2006 or 2007 the original site got hacked and the entire database was wiped clean so they had to remake the forum using Simple Machine Forums. Sometime later, shrinemaiden.com expired and the domain parker wanted an exorbitant amount of money for it, that was when shrinemaiden.org was made. Between then and 2009, i'm not entirely clear on the details but sometime around 2009, it was decided to upgrade the website from SMF 1 to SMF 2 so, they had to migrate over to the website we currently have now.
In conclusion, MoTK has this habit of resurrecting itself, like a phoenix. I'm not sure what the admins do actually have planned, but either way MoTK has had a long run, and this is it's longest iteration yet. Kinda a shame it had to happen like this tho :(
One more thing: I do have this example of what MoTK looked like back in the far past of 2005:

Not to double-post but about 'Recovery Advices,Planning Actions'' I would like to quote and highlight this offer for backup on https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=23214.new#new (page 14)

Firstly; I feel like this should be brought up.With the passing of Helvetica; the main admin of the site, this somewhat throws the future of the forum in the air. [Paying for it; ect]. It's being discussed, but I think it is worth bringing up. I have an idea for a backup plan, but hopefully it doesn't come to that.
I am going to post over there and PM as well, to help out bridge it out to and from " Raikaria" since he has already warned( on First Post of Rumia Quest Revival) he needs more time-off between Forum Activity then before : on MotK there are examples of Rumia Quest,Elly Quest,Daiyousei Quest,Wriggle Quest and such).

Okay, I'm trying to scrape what I can. Let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like me to focus on.

Sort of. I've been running Sea of Tranquility (HME-affiliated Discord), which I've seen some people call the MotK Discord. Lately I've been considering trying to expand it beyond the gameplay community into a full MotK Discord, since it already has a starting point.
