Hi everyone, happy new year! As we bid farewell to '23, let's take a moment to
reflect on the remarkable journey Wiki-Index has had this year:

- We made a new website, enriched with an array of handcrafted features (by me,
  of course) to enhance your experience and make browsing the wiki pleasant on
  all devices (mobile included!).
- We've reached 1k+ views!
- Our Wiki-Index repository merged over 200 commits!
- This wiki has grown to be more than just a piracy index, so we felt it's about
  time other sections get some love. As such, we organized and separated tools
  sections into their own pages, which allowed us to move a lot of useful tools
  out of storage and make it a lot easier to discover them.
- We started the debloat arc of Wiki-Index! We've
  removed a lot of dead, useless, and niche links / categories, as well as
  re-organized a lot of sections for better clarity and easier navigation.

As we enter 2024, we eagerly anticipate building on our achievements and
evolving together. Wiki-Index wouldn't be what it is today without the love and
support of everyone in this community. Thank you for being an integral part of
Wiki-Index. Here's to another year of growth and success! 💙

### Things Removed

- Removed SevenGamers as they've
  [decided to shut down](https://i.imgur.com/C5sgVqI.png).

- Removed YasDL as they uploaded a version of StarDock with the same malware
  that filecr and others have gotten removed for.

- Removed Torrentz2 as they've stopped indexing new torrents.

- Removed LookMovie as they've added a
  [10-second wait](https://i.imgur.com/I0D9Hyt.png) before videos play.

- Removed DS4Windows in gaming tools. You can just add games to Steam and turn
  on PS4 controller support by right-clicking the game.

- Removed Ideogram as it's no longer unlimited.

- Removed EveryNoiseAtOnce as the dev has been
  [let go from Spotify](https://i.imgur.com/AaIrcAc.png).

- Removed CryptoStorm as it's [possibly unsafe](https://i.imgur.com/VDlSY1T.png).
  The owner has no ties to it anymore apparently, but it's still hard to trust a
  company with a history this dark.

- Removed our backups from NotABug. Their site goes down nearly
  [every day](https://i.imgur.com/Vx8Ou68.png) at this point, and it's become a
  nightmare to keep 25 wiki pages updated there. If they ever fix their issues
  we may bring it back.
