I forgot about Reddit. You're right PedroH, the younger more tech savvy generations have gravitated to Facebook and Reddit. But about this "encyclopedia, not a forum" thing. Fundamentally I don't disagree with that. But this is one of the last places people can actually search for, come ask a question, and get some real answers.

Google "how to fix my nerf raptorstrike". Not one link to facebook shows up. For all intents and purposes facebook is not searchable, it's just a chronological heap of threads. And the posts themselves are information overload. Ask a question and get forty one-line opinions, often ambiguous, often inside jokes, often contradictory.

Reddit is searchable and full of good information, but it's incredibly unorganized. It's essentially a giant stream of consciousness. The moderators, if there are any, make no attempt to keep threads on topic. End result: LiPos, hydro-dipping, and installing 180's appear to solve most of the problems.

Yes, this wiki is most certainly an encyclopedia. A good one. A nicely run one. And a handsome one. But I think it's also one of the few places left where people can really connect and contribute to the Nerf experience. The rest just seems to be a tempest in a teapot, IMHO.
