Birth of the KGB Wiki
      #131641 - 02/08/07 02:22 PM

One of the things that makes KGB great, is that we have documented much of our history for future generations of gamers and to build a sense tradition. We have achieved this and I wanted to take this idea to the next level.

Recently, Slinger, Chairman of the KGB Senate, tried to made an entry on Wikipedia. We were quickly told that Online gaming organizations are not "Notable" and our entry was deleted. In addition to this, we have a need to convert our Hall of Fame to a more modern platform

I have decided to create the KGB wiki. THis will house the KGB Hall of Fame (Which KGB Prime Minsiter Elph and her team are currently in the process of converting), and I want to convert all KGB news archives, as well as invite all of you to create bios and post "Notable" stories and items. In addition Friends and Foes alike will be encouraged to post guild histories, etc.

Our new Wiki is online as we speak, but we are not publishing the URL until the Hall of Fame and structure are posted.

I expect all of you will have access within the next 5 to 7 days.

Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.

Our plan is to move the current Hall of Fame over (which is being worked on now), make the changes to each entry in the Hall of Fame that isn't in present tense (ie. making all titles for faction ranks former, as we have no closed factions), then we'll go through the giant piles of emails Elph has built up and make the appropriate adjustments according to those emails. When we reach this point it will be MUCH easier for us to fill in the blank spaces we know exist (thats you, Winter ). After we add everything we can possibly think we need to add we'll be asking people to help fill in the blank spaces and all that jazz. I can think of a few people right off the top of my head that are missing from the Hall of Fame, but we won't be adding any new entries until the heap of work we currently have is all done.

P.S. - For those of you who have been following recent Hall of Fame updates, progress may seem slow, as we haven't been working on the Hall of Fame while we were waiting for the Wiki to be hosted. The Wiki is now up and in [almost] full swing and we're getting to work transferring all of the entries now!
