I noticed that on the Spudfiles site(http://www.spudfiles.com/) they have a Spud Wiki. It is like a link to Wikipedia but it is seperate from the mainwiki site. On the spud wiki they have tons of definitions and abbreavations that is hevan for a noob. I found it extreamly informative and made me not sound like an idoit when posting on spudfiles. It would definatly be somthing for the adamin or mod or whomever to cheak out. Imagine a NerfHaven with out posts about what an air restrictor is and what is this gun questions. Also any Haven member would be able to add content to the wiki.

spudwiki: http://www.spudfiles...title=Main_Page

Any comments would much appricated

Thanks

You mean something like this?

[Commonly Hunted]

No, Hilt. Petrie means something like these:
Halo 2 Multiplayer Wiki
Halopedia

It is a great idea. We could make something like the best homemades (with the Boltsniper guns at the top of course), a best stock guns, a best modified guns, a best modifiers, and a best homemaker (Boltsniper of course) lists. And, if possible, Nerfers can vote on those names and guns so that the list is always changing and people know what's what.

Then there can be a section for basic modding, intermediate modding, and expert modding (I guess this would include the Long Shot) and another for homemade write-ups. Another for ammo theory like Bolt had planned on his site. Yet another for war planning, a link to the Frappr map, and another for trading and selling.

There are still many things to add but you get the point.

Actually, I think it is a good idea, because that way you can get everything well organized.
Besides, NerfCenter could revive all available information about Nerf Blasters in a Nerf-Wiki.

I'd say we should just give it a go and see how it turns out.

[Rambo]

I'm up for making it, or taking part in making it.

I don't know what you mean about NerfCenter reviving anything though...

Edit: I've been thinking about it and looking into it; wouldn't it just be easier to make a website like NC all over again? The only free wiki creators are limited greatly.

I'd love to help make this. But I don't know how. If someone finds out, let me know and I can help.

[Rambo]

I did some research and unless someone(s) are fluent in php, python, perl, or java, we have to use a dumb WISIWIG editor. You can use HTML in the editor, but again, I think if everyone threw in a few bucks for a web host it'd be better to make a .com. If anyone is REALLY interested in a Wiki, PM me and I'll give you the info I can.

I could install and run a nerf wiki, already have hosting, but it's ridiculous.
I hate wiki's.

[Rambo]

Yeah, let's make www.nerfcentre.com or something.

[Substance Abuse]

I have some skills with HTML code and C++ and Php and so forth. I am willing to help design if you need it.
