Halopedia soon became a victim of its own success as its growing community began to present a major problem for its creators; the site's growing size was producing a bill in excess of US$150 a month for every server usage and average ping. Throughout May, June, and July of 2006, the site would be sporadically down, until it finally went offline for several weeks. Eventually, Halopedia was merged with halo.wikia.com, a formerly rival wiki that did not have the same issues. Despite the painstaking process of having to copy every article from the original Halopedia, the site ultimately benefitted with several new active users and a severe drop in vandalization, going from at least 2 or three vandalisms a day to almost none.
