    Beast's Lair Integrated Wiki Revisited

    Posting poll here because it matters the most to lurkers and members who dwell in this holy sanctum.

    With the Seika doc growing and taking longer and longer to load, and people complaining about slow update on the complete material site, perhaps it is time to revisit the notion of a BL wiki.

    The positive will be:
    1) everyone will be able to contribute to the BL canon (which hopefully will be the standard this side of the pond)
    2) update of new knowledge will be much speedier
    3) finding particular item/piece of information will be easier
    4) eliminate obvious questions from being asked over and over again

    The negative will be:
    1) really there's no negatives besides some degrees of de-centralized control and somewhat decreased accountability on the information, but this can easily remedied by binding wiki accounts with forum accounts
    2) costing money

    I think it's a good idea. The only real thing that made me hesitant to say yes the last time it came up was the possibility of edit wars over certain topics but I don't think that possibility exists anymore.

    Oh yeah, and it costs money. How much was it again?

    I was hoping you could just keep adding stuff as Daily Food. Don't we technically still have that wiki Milbunk put up?
    Araya, what do you seek?
    「アラヤ、何を求める」
    ------True wisdom.
    「――――真の叡智を」
    Araya, where do you seek it?
    「アラヤ、何処に求める」
    Only within myself.
    「――――ただ、己が内にのみ」
    Araya, what is your favorite color?

    Blue. No, ora-- Auuuuuuuugh!

    I think the wiki is a good idea, except we keep trying it and it keeps not working :/

    Go vote, I am curious to see what people want and how they want it.

    Maybe we can let the admins know.

    I vote for Seika note. The KING admires her spunk.

    Certainly, I'd be in favor of it. The major selling point for me is your #2; the wiki format makes the same information in the Seika document easier to find; it's a long doc and I'm sure that I for one have missed an answer to one of my questions or two just because of a lack of indexing. And the higher quality of info available from the BL forum-dweller would help to offset the flaws of the existing Type-MOON wiki (which is why people like me show up and ask dumbass answered-five-tives-already questions in the first place).

    I believe it was $70 with yearly renewal at $30, which is not inconsiderable but certainly not insurmountable.

    I like the idea very much, but unfortunately, I doubt I'd be able to contribute money, seeing as I currently have less money on my account than Shirou after one of Saber's "raids".
    My attempts at being a (fanfic) writer:

    Eclipse - a Saber Alter oneshot
    Requiem for a Race - Altrouge and Ortenrosse hunt the TAs ( 1/3 chapters, discontinued )
    Memories of a King - a 'Saber Origins' story ( 8/? chapters, discontiuned )
    A Small Warmth - a post UBW-Good oneshot, Saber/Rin
    Devil's Thrill - Narbareck hunts down a DAA Blackmore ( 10/10 chapters, finished )
    Boundary of Loneliness - Ryougi Shiki/Alphard Al-Shua oneshot. Lemon-flavoured

    Worst case scenario, some ad on Wiki. $30 bucks a year of upkeep is not really a big deal split between the 4-5 people who is running BL.

    They are not 12 like you.

    Hell, I remember Darples mentioning donations. I'd probably donate some.

    As a long time lurker I support both the ideas of a wiki and donations.

    I think the Seika doc idea is silly considering we already have a Seika doc. A more reliable wiki is fine by me.

    Oh back on the wiki topic, well my decision hasn't changed a bit since I first started trying out wiki's and such so I would definitely be on board.

    Sorry for being wholly ignorant but what is the Seika doc?
    Code:
    [07:55:59] <Spinach> Take off your clothes Kirby
    [07:56:07] <Kirby> I'm in class
    
    [20:37:34] <Lian|phone> there is a such thing as lingerie for guys?
    [20:37:54] <Kyokushi> yea

    [20:38:02] <Lian|phone> :o
    [20:38:07] * Lian|phone googles
    [20:38:10] <Kyokushi> NO
    [20:38:11] <Kyokushi> DON'T
    [20:40:07] <Lian|phone> okay
    [20:40:16] <Lian|phone> I don't think I should have googled that
