:Actually it's not all gone. I grabbed a Google text only version from just a few days (day?) before the site poofed - I'll be putting that all back in there (although it may be just in raw text form) when I have a chance. At least it holds all the data. The page currently has what it has (and is so old) because that's the last code version that Google had. The code for the reference box I think is gone, however - but Google shows what it looks like at least. [[User:Destructor|Destructor]] ([[User talk:Destructor|talk]]) 06:24, 7 September 2013 (MST)

:A possible need to look at the voting system itself. There's no easy way around this, but IMO there's a certain weakness to public nominations where we either have near-unanimous decisions or the same page being pushed several months in a row because it barely missed "winning". --[[User:Epelesker|Epelesker]] ([[User talk:Epelesker|talk]]) 01:16, 8 September 2013 (MST)

::I happen to agree to be honest. Yes, I realize that this is a public voting box and I realize that there's little that can be done to make people to vote for new pages every month, but... I dunno. [[User:Destructor|Destructor]] ([[User talk:Destructor|talk]]) 07:33, 8 September 2013 (MST)

Seeing as the page seems to have garnered the most votes for September's round, I managed to salvage [[Astromancer]]'s page from cache, though there's no image files. --[[User:Epelesker|Epelesker]] ([[User talk:Epelesker|talk]]) 13:46, 9 September 2013 (MST)
