	In September 2006 when [[Epifora]]'s contract with [[MCI-Worldcom]] was canceled, BoyWiki survived several moves and short outages and by February 2007 had settled into a period of inactivity likely caused by the moves. About May of 2007 an upgrade to the MediaWiki software was implemented but poor technical skills resulted in the BoyWiki database being permanently damaged beyond repair and editing was disabled. A mistaken line of communication resulted in BoyWiki being opened again to editing however, that person had been unaware of the database damage. Editing resumed again but vandals began to edit at will taking advantage of the sudden disappearance of the BoyWiki [[curator]] team along with the [[Keeper of the Wiki]]. Editing was disabled by [[Free Spirits]] in order for the site to comply with their rules of hosting however, the damage had multiplied.

			On 26 June 2007, Wikipedian [[Will Beback]] remarked, "The folks at BoyChat are welcome to edit BoyWiki without any interference from us. But they are not welcome to come here and push their fringe viewpoints in this wiki."<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pedophile_movement/Archive_14#Vote_seeking</ref>

	BoyWiki remained online in read only mode for several months until September of 2007 when it had to move again due to the decision of Free Spirits to cancel their hosting contract with Epifora. Due to the availability of servers and the requirements to make the transition, BoyWiki was taken offline with the idea that it would be restored in the near future but a lack of technical help and interest in doing so kept it offline throughout 2008. In September, restoration began with a fresh database but restoration required that all of the articles be restored by hand entering them as new articles again. BoyWiki remained offline but under construction until May of 2009 when it returned to the present public but closed to editing status.

	The reopening of BoyWiki had some slight variations and new URL's. The original '''boywiki.org''' is now '''en.boywiki.org''' and resources in French '''fr.boywiki.org/wiki/Accueil''' and German '''de.boywiki.org/wiki/Hauptseite''' have been added. Articles are still being restored on a daily basis but a team of curators and a Keeper are still needed. [[User:Bigham\|Bigham]] was temporarily acting as Keeper and restoring articles.

			In 2011, a proposal to blacklist Wikipedia links to BoyWiki was shot down,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/October_2011#Boywiki</ref> which was an astounding victory for the boylove movement, considering that BoyChat and NAMBLA are blacklisted.
