Morshu.com wrote: My problem is how your wiki would be favored over everythign in this plan. This wiki has over 750 pages, Nerfipedia has over 1000, yours doesn't even have 50 and has way more rules than both combined. Also due to a lack of tolerance to you because of you deleting threads and getting our admin (and myself) banned, I doubt some people would make the switch over. Gage can repair the super soaker articles so we don't need to remove them all. Tek Recon is unneeded as it fires neither foam nor darts, but an unrelated ammo.

Why couldn't the off-brand company pages you're talking about be moved here? Wouldn't it make sense to have everything on a Nerf Wiki, where everyone is, instead of taking the time to rewrite, reupload and repaste everything on a separate wiki that not only no one knows about, but doesn't have a basic name that people can find? It seems like a lot more work than necessary, and we would probably lose a lot of editors in the process of moving too. The rules are also problems in themselves because not everyone agrees to your rules on your wiki, especially regarding leaks and community threads. Your wiki also has a bland layout currently with no pictures and a general lack of color. First of all, i would like to thank you for calming down, toning down the harshness and being willing to listen.

I did not get gamegear360 banned, you effectively did. You impersonated me by using soakermaster8 to insult and provoke the stig and TMG. that resulted in mass blocks and numerous checkuser requests. the only ip that matched was you, soakermaster8 and gg360. gg360 knows that i meant no harm in getting to the bottom of this, we already had a discussion.

as far as forum threads, most of that is enforcing the rules jetcell set. off topic board is of no use, threads removed were just encouraging user bashing.

Nerfipedia: I have already asked this question multiple times. What plan of improvement will be done to articles?
 * no good home page layout
 * each article for off brand, has 2 reviews (one actual and a second review hidden within the initial paragraph)
 * there may be useful content, noted most of it and will reference nerfipedia
 * 1000 articles: wouldn't matter if there were a million, not much useful information can be gotten unless you can prove otherwise
 * again this is all for off brand, nerf articles don't count

super soaker: i don't care about this as long as we can get everything in one place under logical naming standards
 * if gage can complete the super soakers with getting permission from isoaker.com and sscentral.com, i don't have an issue with this
 * i already asked isoaker.com for permission but was denied over wikia's copyright license (CC-BY-SA) as it was deemed way too unrestricted. the same will apply for nerf wiki as both are hosted on wikia.
 * again this is up for discussion, i could care less

DBE: i have articles ready to be posted (Nerf, Buzz Bee, lanard, X-shot)
 * articles with actual helpful content unlike nerfipedia
 * NMR and SGNerf blog reviews give more information on average for off brand stuff
 * research: i have more articles to be written as i have further research that has not even been converted yet
 * nerf wiki: there are barely any actual articles besides the brand and series that are only set up
 * recent information is not posted by most people until a month after release, if i don't since i "left"
 * name of wiki: you got a better name then suggest it.
 * nerfer, nerf nation, buzz bee toys, the corps, dart blaster wiki are all taken
 * layout: based off successful wikis that have an actual community built up, helping out. news is constantly updated, on average faster than on nerf wiki
 * losing editors: that would not happen as this would limit to 2 wikis: Nerf and DBE
 * all other wikis would be closed
 * rules: these are the most basic conduct rules that people should be able to follow without issue unless you are a child
 * point out rules that seem unfair and we can discuss them
 * leaks: these are a major issue, basic respect and do pertain to legal issues
 * Tek Recon: these are on topic based on how the community uses dart blasters, these relate to the topic. its a new form of ammo but still within design. seriously, rubber bands are not any more different than a dart, both can be lost.
 * by the way, foamfromabove reported from a press release before the toy fair that hasbro has patented rubber balls. this puts these on the same level.
 * actually i have contacted most of the bloggers connected with hasbro who have given me their support and have actually helped out quite a lot
