"Nukiepedia"???? Doesn't it sound more... "elementary schooler"-y? I don't know about you, but I think that's counterproductive towards the "SERIOUS BUSINESS" image we've been building up for years AMIRITE?

You haven't read Nuklear Age am I right?

...... No D= (Oh god please don't tell me "Nukiepedia" is some inside joke from there that I have never heard about and as such makes me look like a dumbass...)

Probably but that's just a guess.

I won't tell you then.

I'm loving this idea.... count me in.

Okay okay slow down, answering some questions one at a time:

DBS: Yeah it's going to cover 8bit Theatre and Nuklear Age and Atomic Robo too. This is seriously "The Wiki for Everything Nuklear Powered," wrapping up all the newsposters, the articles current or old that are on the main page like Evil Princess Sara and the old Twinkin' Out, etc etc etc.

I figure it'll give the wiki a bit more of a 'firm grasp' if there's more to update on a regular basis other than "haha this poster said something funny" every week or so. Giving constant updates with anything Kurosen puts out will keep everyone more interested.

Having realized this myself I feel like it could go either way, but I already submitted the request so we're stuck with Nuklepedia.
Not necessarily - I still have to come up with them, so we've got time before the page goes up. And I'll work on it a bit before I unveil it, you know, 'prep it up'. To be clear, though:

The first rule about Nuklepedia is that you do not use it as a forum wang.
The second rule about Nuklepedia; you do not use it as a forum wang.

Rules three through whatever to follow.

It's Wikipedia - you talk a bit about something I've done in Creativity Convention with the first use of my name linking to my article. You can talk about it, just try not to go into depth and let the "Mirai Gen" article do the real in depth description.
As it was written, so it shall be.

I hereby dub the funny links thread as "The Thread" for the purposes of Nuklepedia.
If you really want to do quotes, put the funny person quotes on the article of the user.

If there's more than one user we can probably just make a "Multi-person funny quotes" article, and let's all try to keep it from being a moderator-free Bash.org.
Hey we're all not always going to be there all at once, and you might be funnier than the next guy. Try to pitch in anyway - it's a silly Wiki, don't worry about the amount of work.

I think NPedia sounds cooler.

But that's just me.

Also, thanks for all the info mirai you're definitely getting a fancy article by me when I get a chance.

My Idea was Patratapedia.
But that's just dumb...

How about pictures? Should we do something to avoide or allow pictures and photos of users?

Obviously, really notable forumites will need their profile to contain their avatar, like Meister and his Disco guy, or Kurosen and his Tau.

hahaha you're cute when you're obviously intoxicated. It'll be moderated.

Couple things I'm compiling here:

1) If a user wants for no pages to contain him- fine. We will ensure he isn't in.

2) do we need to set up a unique domain name or are we going to leech of parkercomics cause we know that idiot is always willing to give free space?

3) Does anyone know how to actually SET UP a wiki?

4) No insults. keep stories 3rd person. any insults/flames/trolling found, will have IP's logged, possibly banned, and since this will tie directly to NPF, possible punishment here, depending on whichever mod it gets presented to.

5) Selfish gets a page devoted to her hats, since her hats are awesome.

6) RaiRO. How will it relate? I'm of the opinion that it ties into NPF, so it's included, but I can see how this might get up for debate.


Just spittin' that out there. Anyone agree/disagree/fuck you nikose you suck?

edit: PS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DokuWiki This wiki software seems to be the best for what Mirai and I were talkin' about, and this is something that we could set up on a private domain name since I still have like 6 I can establish at no cost to me beyond what I already have set up for you ungrateful fuckers curteous gentlemen.

Avatars will probably be universally included, but things from the camwhore thread would probably be a bad idea to post, so the general rule should probably be that if anyone wants their picture there, they can add it themselves.

Edit

If that's the case, maybe we should try and get a link from the main site? Since it'll include non-forum activities, we can probably expand it to include people not expressly from the forum.

However, on that note, it might be a good idea to add some sort of password to the wiki, nothing special, but just something that anyone with a forum account can see, so we don't have random surfers showing up and messing with it.

In response for Nikose:
1) done. let no one else bring it up.
2) see below
3) there are things like wikisite.org (now disbanded for some reason) that allow you to make a wiki... site. usually the domain for the site is something like _____.wiki.com, which sounds fine
4) the internet. serious buisness
5) sure, whatever.
6) if you know funny stuff from RaiRO, you should be able to put it in, but "and then there was this one time..." should totally be banned. no one cares about 95% of what happens in the game, it's mostly the disscussions that are funny. Just my thoughts

Why don't you quit planning and just throw up a wiki thing and say "have at it". As was posed by someone else, this thing will collapse under its own weight unless it just happens.

I mean honestly there's this tendency at this forum to have decent ideas, and then try to plan them to such a fucking meticulous degree that they die a silent or in some cases remarkable death as a result of bloating and eventual lack of interest or motivation.

Just do it already. Quit fucking around with rules and just goddamn make it.

Kay. Mirai and I will get it underway.

I... honestly never expected shiney to say something like that. Not the "sod the rules" part, specifically, but the whole post.

Might I suggest that, for users prominent both in comics and forum activity, that there be some separate notation of both (on the same page, of course, just seperated)? I know a lot of the people on this forum have very different behaviors between their forum-posting, and what their character does in comics.

We're waiting for the site that Mirai sent the application to to say "okay, yeah, sure, you fuckers can have your damn wiki".

We're filling up the boredom with rules.

I hereby declare that rule 12 be "You shall talk about fight club until you start a fight by doing so, at which point you will shout about fight club"

Is that really necessary to make a policy about that? I mean, it's your page, do with it what you will.

heh heh
wikisite is actually wiki-site.com
my bad

I'd like to keep it to forum members regarding Brian's writing, because I have a regular look at the articles on Wikipedia and this way when someone gets the bright idea of listing every sprite pose of every character ever, with references, over here, then I can at least put a name to him and tell him to get his obvious OCD looked at to his face.

EDIT: and edit his entry to say he has OCD.

Question at mods:

Should we start a new thread for people to be recruited for tossing in content or use this thread? site will be up in 24 hours or less.

Nothing wrong with this one.

Can I ask that there is no "funny quotes" section because we all know it's going to be 90% fifthfiend and 10% crap.

Which is to say, 100% crap.

Yeah, the funny quotes should just be on each persons page.

And, since Fifthfiend's page will be locked, this will hopefully get rid of 90% of the crap.

Screw fifthfiend.

Oh! The quote somehow relates to Fifthfiend! IT MUST GO IN THE WIKI!

I vote we have an entire page of quotes about Shiney going and getting fucked.

Because Shiney can go get fucked.

Domain is registered, setting up the files now.

it will be at www.nuklearpedia.com by Meister's choice because he was online and didn't want to make a poll. Blame him.

Domain is still "under construction" and as such you will probably either get a 404 error or an auto-redirect to parkercomics because that's how my domains work. The Wiki is being installed now.

Questions:

- Do you have your own webserver for this? As in a colocated machine which is not just free webspace or purchased space on someone else's machine?

- Is the software provided by a third party or do we have our own wiki software?

I apologize if these questions have been answered already but there's a lot of posts and I am at work.

Edit: fifthfiend there will be a huge section about me going and getting fucked, by your mother all night every night.

I get neither of those, instead receiving a notice that Internet Explorer cannot find the web-page!

I AM CALLIN' YOU A LIAR.

Software is third party, and I think that the webserver is on Nikose's computer, although I might be totally wrong.

It's purchased webspace, but it's big and it's sturdy and it's with 1and1 and they've yet to really fuck me over. It's on the parkercomics server with 1and1.

The software is custom wiki software- Dokuwiki, because it's written in PHP and it's open source and free and it's stable. I'm not 100% but I beleive dokuwiki got bundled into the last Fedora update and it's definitely a very popular open source wiki.

And really it's registered and the bill is covered by me just like the NPF comics archive fifth.

PS Do not make fun of me for making a www.transfomers-rid.net, I can't help my typos. I'm re-registering that now that I see why it sucks so hard.

The reason I ask is I own a webserver which is hosted through a datacenter by ProphetX and is either free or very inexpensive. Whatever you're paying, we could probably beat the price, and you'd be in-house to boot.

Whatevs.

See that sounds better to me but in the end it'll be up to you guys I can just transfer the domain name to you if you want. I'm only helping out with Mirai's idea, so finally call is the community's and his, not mine.

Shiney; I hadn't known there was independently released Wiki data you could just upload to a server - I had been waiting for the wiki site to tell me "Yeah go ahead". Doyy.

Nikose: Awesome. And honestly nobody on the forum is really going to be able to notice a difference as to who hosts it - it's your call. The main reason I called you up is because I figured you'd be up for it since you're part of NPF too.

It's totally your call.

EDIT: Just get on MSN you fucker.

Well, it sends you to Nikose's main site now. Not really sure whether that means anything though.

No bigs, whateva. Let me know and we can sort something out.

Yeah, I got that too. I guess nuklearpedia was just too good of an idea to be made real. Kinda like Reading Rainbow Flakes, the hip new cereal based on the award nominated tv show.

...

Huh?

I mean, all that means is that Nikose has registered the domain, but not actually built the site. Not that the project failed or anything.

Hmm, I personally don't think pictures are necessary, and I don't think I'd want mine up, but if people want them in their profiles, I think it should be a rule that we'd need to get permission from individual members before putting their photos up.

Except for POS as his image is already in the public domain.

Heheheh.

Anyway, Mauve's picture should be up because she is adorable.

The domain is registered but he's still busy building it.

The idea hasn't died yet bud.

No. I've already decided to stop posting pics in the Camwhore thread because it's no longer blocked from unregistered viewers and it makes me kind of uncomfortable. There's no way I'm putting any pics up on Nuklearpedia.

Yes I'm paranoid. But still: No Mauve pics for Nuklearpedia.

You are aware that the camwhore thread wasn't blocked from anyone seein' for the like, four years before there was ever a community forum, right?

Hmmmm... if people particularly liked that feature of Community then I could probably switch it back and just move like, the Say Hello thread so's new folks know where that is.

You don't need to change the Community forum back if no one else minds. Like I said, I'm just paranoid. It's no big deal to me, as I hardly ever post pics anyway. I don't remember if I ever posted in Camwhores prior to the move, now that you mention it, but for some reason I felt better doing it when it was members only.

I'm just saying I don't want my picture on Nuklearpedia.

Praps put the introduction in general?

Yeah, I think Community should go back to being members only.

It felt nice excluding people.

Defeating that hamburger was truly my greatest victory.

hell, that's what a community is all about! Excluding people who arent a part of it...

But we're still good on posting your social security number, right?

Credit card information, too.

Don't worry - Once this all goes live I'm going to be making a "Do Not Post" list for people and what they don't want. "No pictures", "No article," etc, and as mod I'm going to lock it out.

I think I'll draw the line at credit card numbers, but other than that, go nuts. It better be funny though. Putting lame crap on my page is unacceptable.

EDIT: Wait a minute...
AWW FUCK! And here I thought I was the first one with a Loki. Damn you internet!!! one upped in every way, it isn't fair I tells ya

EDIT2: Well, it seems we're getting somewhere. Now, instead of getting the error screen, I'm finally getting redirected to the Parkercomics website.

On the note of RaiRO: Since most RaiRO players don't even see the Community section on a daily basis, they could be inconsequentially, well, for lack of a better term, left out?

On the same note, for the commutors like myself, Wyndon, pictish, etc. it's still cool for like RaiRO info to be all up inz this thingz? Assuming anyone feels like messing with my page. I really don't feel like it >.>

Heeeey what a Super-awesome way of providing them with a nice opportunity to get out of the Shadows and join us in this awesome sunny picnick that we call "up here" !

In other words: I wouldnt really mind, RaiRo is just a part of NPF. If they want to join the Wiki they can with near zero effort join it in here or on the wiki itself... im pretty sure that it wont take long before mostof them knows about it

That or they just have their own wiki and we link them amongst each other. *shrug*

If this is supposed to be the site for general knowledge on Nuklearpower and those things relating to it (the articles therein, forums, and webcomic is what it looks like), I can only imagine RaiRO is included as well.

Did you goobers make it yet?
I want a link on the front page when you do >:O

there will be a link on the frontpage, ofcouser...

OH you meant about YOU? Aaaaaaaaaah... naw.

Ya know I was thinking, When we do member profiles, why not set it up
Wiki Style. One row would Admin/Mod, second row etc etc

http://i28.tinypic.com/dnkbxy.png

And beside each persons "profile" we can use both their pic (should they allow it) and a sprite (should they have one)

http://i29.tinypic.com/2u5c2z7.png

I'm afraid. If anybody has even noticed me on this forum, what would be said leaves me nervous.

Or, their, uhh.... Avatar, which would probably be the natural choice.

You could always modify the pictures with a mustache or eye patch

Like so:

I was kind of thinking that we should have pictures in the profiles that have been horribly photoshopped, it would be great.

Huh... that would be something... if it was beyond recognition, it would be possible

Now, Sprites are ok, but maybe not avatars... i mean, most of us change them quite often...

I do suggest, however, that those who can, add to ther profile their first avatar

Sure, I've still got mine:
http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/6...siapogobc3.jpg
Lame as hell.

I deleted mine out of shame.

Hell no.

I can;t remember my first one. I've had so many.

I remember mine, cause Im using it.

I don't even remember what my first one was either. It probably sucked.

This ones more memorable.

I have my first avatar (I think) or at least I remember it. It was the Link in LOZ:TP fighting that fire dungeon boss. (How I remember this? Even I don't know...)

I feel my lack of sprite representaion to be depressing, yet, I'm terrible at making sprites, maybe I'll just rip one from FFV. I feel SO ASHAMED :(

But on topic, Me I'm cool beans when it comes to the Pic.

And yes, Mauve is adorable. The poor girl is going to end up with internet stalkers.

What's this "going to" bullshit?

Okay I have a life outside of NPF and I was only gone 12 hours jesus. within the next 3 hours it will point at a Placeholder image and roughly 12 hours after that there should be a wiki up but that doesn't mean you fuckers can use it yet. I'm hammering out kinks right now and that's why I didn't make it public domain.

Who is this Mauve? The only picture I saw was of a sultry lady with an eye patch and a distinctive quote bubble saying that "I are not teh Mauve Mage"

Teh internet is safe once again due to mustaches and eye patches (ooh that almost rhymed)

...What the.... That's... Wha....

I look like V.
O.o

Precisely why I don't want Mauve pics all over the place. :shifty:
