someone create a talk page.. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

My thinking as well. I'm not really sure what a talk page is, though, so somebody should do that that actually knows about talk pages. In the meantime, people should be adding info to make it more legitimate. |

I'll try to think of stuff to add. I kind of want to do a "Notorious Members" section. If wikipedia wont leave it up, cant we create our own wiki hosted elsewhere?

I agree with both of Chewp's ideas. I am taking occasional snapshots of the page in case we have to reload it someplace else.
EDIT - BTW, can somebody confirm the data in the "historical" section? I just pulled that off the top of my head, and I frankly have no idea when the forum really started. |

Hmm, the guy brought up a good point, we have no references outside other forums. :-/
Not that there aren't a million entries for more pointless things on Wikipedia. |

I added the two dead forums to the list, and will be adding wikis link to some tippy stuff, such as Tippmann Pneumatics Edit: I put in Tippmanns wiki, as well as the A5s wiki -------------

| I think we probably want to e a little careful about linking too many Tippmann products, if Wiki thinks this is just an ad, but that's just me. |

I think someone should go through and write a quick little tidbit of all the "regular" posters. Possibly even organize it by the "cliques" everyone likes to bring up so much. Maybe even a nod to IRC? ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

So are you allowing us to freely go and edit it? I was thinking of putting an image of the forum homepage on there. |

| Who am I to allow or disallow? It's Wikipedia. Free for all to edit. |

Then maybe you should stop substituting entire articles with naked pictures of yourself. A more measured approach to editing will probably work better. |

| I still remember some old blue stuff and may be some help. But if you really want to do the original history of the forum how about you hit up the people who will know the most. Ask the real old regs like, pepprdog, hyway, shorty, OS, etc. Those guys have been here for an extremely long time. When I joined old blue they were all already here. |

I took the liberty of organizing a "Frowned Upon Subjects" section. Maybe that will help limit spammers... ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

It's supposed to be an encyclopedia entry guys. You can't use the words like "our" or "you."
You're going to get deleted if it's not fixed. -------------

If someone will pm me a general list of our regulars, I'll start working on a brief synapses, and just ask the irc guys if i need some opinions. I made one change, but it was sort of a stab at one of the older, abandoned members.

| they actually made a good suggestion. If it's not 'encyclopedia' quality, we can make a Wikia out of it. |
