#People have been unable to create wikis on the platform for nearly four years as of August 2024; this is mostly because it took ''two and a half years'' for ShoutWiki to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.35, so long that the next LTS version, MediaWiki 1.39, released in the meantime.
#Ever since 2020, the site has degraded in quality due to a critical lack of staff.
#ShoutWiki is critically understaffed, only having two staff members that are sporadically active named Jack Phoenix and Saftzie; consequently, support times are very slow, often taking months or even ''years''.
 
#*Additionally, Lewis Cawte, another ShoutWiki staff member, can be extremely rude to other users and will completely neglect them in whatever dire situation they're in.
#It has intrusive ads that slow down the site.
#*Almost none of the staff members even bother to deal with disruptive users on any wiki, which often causes them to collapse and decay because of this.
#Its servers are slower than you would expect and have stopped functioning at random points in the past.
#It's flooded with ads that slow down the site.
