It's been like months since this has been going on and I wanted to know what happened?
I will find the good in all of you! Because I am an optimistic girl, and I love finding out about how happy/optimistic people are.:)

Chat died from a coding change, the Wiki was rife with Drama.

The wiki was basically pointless to begin with, the chat however was okay. Lot of drama there too.

It's been more than months, I've been using the mainsite for over a year and the forums for 3/4 of a year, and I believe they've been down the entirety of that time.

I think it was less because it was incompatible and more because Mooncow didn't really see a need for something that's been empty for the last 8 months or so.

I always considered the main page to be a "wiki" So not sure what the wiki page would of had except maybe something about the forums or something.

Yes it was a wiki for the forum
It had pages for members where they could write about how great they are

Yep, the site's wiki is gone for good. It was a silly yet admittedly fun fad that became integrated with the site like 5 years ago, and it became inactive fairly quick, except to maybe write about banned users every now and then. The old wiki however, is still present. It's kind of like a snapshot of the minds of CI users back in 2010. Feel free to browse if you're looking for some cringe. I feel like one of the main reasons the wiki was originally created was to write about how poorly behaved this one user was. All the pages are locked, so no more edits can be made to them.
