What the hell happened to EVElopedia?

Just came back last week after a three year absence, new character, and I remembered a cool story about that Caldari Admiral (I think?) who crashed his ship into the planet, right? So I go to EVElopedia and it's gone. Dead capsuleer with "Yeah, we're dumb so we took down our own content" on the screen. And then the blog post talking about the decision links to sites that have now-broken links to EVElopedia.

I downloaded the file that they insist has all the fan-created content on it, but I don't know that because it's a sql file and I can't open it except in Wordpad and what good does that do me?

So does anyone actually have the content from EVElopedia hosted somewhere, or was CCP really dumb enough to remove the lore from their own universe?

CCP too busy making paint jobs and fancy spectacles to care about stuffy old lore. They rarely post on these forums anymore, most interaction between devs and players now takes place on reddit. Sorry lad, but the game lost its soul in the last 4 or 5 years.
