Hey Tycho, if you're reading this, hello!

You killed the Wiki, you Censored

!

Oh well, at least we know he'll be suffering from it as much as we are!

The interesting part of the whole PA/Weekly Update debacle, at least from my standpoint, is how quickly Gabe used the front page to tangent-flame just about every PA forum-goer posting on the issue.

Don't blame PA. They're nice guys. (Heck, they invited Bungie to go to PAX!) But don't take your eyes off their forum-goers, or they'll try to set fire to your shorts.

-- Steve thinks that Gabe and Tycho should save some time and just forward those archives to the FBI now.

Hey, Tycho is a good guy. And I can only see good coming from his mention of ILB. Granted, we're going to get a flow of new people who want to get involved. And what's wrong with that? True, it'll take a little while for them to get the hang of some of the rules and how we play. But New blood is good, and some of them may bring things to the table that we haven't thought of.

So I say to Tycho "Keep Preachin' the Word, Brudda!" And welcome aboard!

Aside from a flurry of trouting, the biggest problem I see with the PA mention is that the Wiki's account may have been killed due to bandwidth overuse. Which would be... unfortunate. Smile

well I might be able to piggy-back the wiki on my site, but I'd want to know the bandwidth usage stats beforehand... my site is hosted at my ISP (where I work), so I'd have to check up on the kind of bandwidth we get (I don't believe we've actually hosted an enormous public site before) though we are on an internet backbone, but whether we've tapped that power or not, I dunno... and plus, my personal site I get for free hosted here, but it's a personal site Smile

ie, a tiny comparative bandwidth usage. Even so, it would be interesting to see how far I could stretch my 'free' plan Smile

a solution could be to prevent all incoming trafic from PA to the wiki
but that wouldn't stop them from just typing it manually.

since I can't see either, I can only assume that it was directly linked.

numerous times... in the same paragraph... in multiple paragraphs... so ya Smile

and if there's too much influx of new people, the site will only get slower... having multitudes more people in the ARG is good, but bad if the server can't handle it... or won't handle it...
