This link no longer works.

None of the links on here do.
I recently formated and I need VIP again. Can't find it anywhere else. Please, somebody, give this guy a chance. Give me a linky or two.

(The victoria wiki is also down and has been for a long time. Whats happening? Has this game been abandoned/forgotten?)

Vickywiki went down yesterday after having been up without any problems for many weeks now (I know because I use it just about every day), and the webmaster for it is on holiday, but hopes to have it back up in the next couple days.
