"In September 2012, the Bin Weevils website had a reach of 1.2 million users" but now there are less than 20 players online most of the time and the christmas decorations haven't been removed either...--82.131.10.98 (talk) 13:38, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No official website[edit]

Looks like the game shut down in 2020, so there should be no official site link in the infobox. Fan sites should not be listed there. Lord Belbury (talk) 18:16, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
