Video Game Chat Encyclopedia




Posted by Jesse Smith

Some freak (n00bie) here found this...

http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:9_2JbtbbdokJ:www.vgchat.com/archive/index.php/t-37531.html+Max+Mouse+vgchat&hl=en

Though I think some one posted this on a web page.

If there's interest, I can probably set up a VGChat wikipedia.




Posted by loony636

Yeah, that would be cool! Where would you set it up?




Posted by Richaod

:D Good times, that was an awesome thread.


Quoting loony636: Yeah, that would be cool! Where would you set it up?


At http://en.wikipedia.org of course. :P



Posted by higbvuyb

Jesse, you mean a wiki based encylopedia, right, then Richaod, it won't be on wikipedia. a 'wiki' is a page anyone can can edit. He means a vgchat-encyclopedia wich any of us can edit, so the thread starter don't have to go through all the posts and edit original posts, etc.




Posted by Jesse Smith

It's set-up!!!

http://www.vgchat.com/Encyclopedia/Main_Page

Now, quickly define yourself, before some one else does!! (You don't need to register, but if you want a profile you need to.) If your name isn't on the index, post a reply saying you want on and I'll add your link. The index page can't be edited. I got every one on the top 200 posters list and a lot of names from that URL on the Google cache (Soo Google cache is good!! *beep* copyright laws, (Note the year...Copyright Video Game Chat 1492 at the bottom.).)

Once you all figure it out, we can organize it more, and add other stuff, like for example posting cool threads.

You can thank the freak/n00bie Max Mouse for PMing me that Google URL!!!

Of course I got more layout editing to do, ie logo/colors.

Remember, is is an Encyclopedia, not a bash/flame each other chat!!!! You post history/facts, not start wars!!! :(

...Do you have any idea how Wikipedia works, or are you just feigning stupidity?

Someone should set up templates for member-related pages. This should be fun.

Quoting Jesse Smith:
Thanks for PMing me that!!!!! Check the Community board thread about it!!! er guess n00bies can be useful!!!!!!!


............you bastard, you're not getting anything else from Max Mouse!! :mad:

(old template removed - see lower post)

^There's a simple template for member pages.

Care to add it to the templates section, Jesse? :)


(oh, and help as to integrating centred images would be greatly appreciated.)




Posted by Killer Jordo

My name isnt up their :(

Put it up :D




Posted by Klarth

HAHAHAHAHA no.




Posted by The Punisher

This looks cool, and I should be on it. =)




Posted by Jesse Smith

You two are added.

Here's a challenge. Try to get your page there listed #1 in Google for your username. The easiest way to do that is to Goolge bomb your page. For an example, look at my signiture. It's simply a link on as many pages as possible that has only your username in it. Having your own web site and other signitures'll help! (Of course make your biography first!!!)

Any one want to add stuff to the wackos profile!! :D:D:D:D:D

Could you translate that in to english??!!! This is my first time having a wiki!!! Look at [url=http://www.vgchat.com/Encyclopedia/Help:Editing]This page[/url] for editing tips. I plagerized it from Wikipedia!!!



Posted by Skitzo Control

Do me a favor, everybody: post one.:)

:cool:




Posted by Jesse Smith

It's added.

Don't be afraid to link to names [[My User name]] that don't have anything yet. When a page gets created, the URL to links to that page change to link to the content page. Look at [url=http://www.vgchat.com/Encyclopedia/Skitzo_Control]Skitzo Control's[/url] page for a great example.

I'm also thinking of adding a contest to this. Where with in XX days, who ever has there username #1 in Google for the username would be entered, with bonus entries for those that have a lot more competition.

To create a page that's not linked on the index, go to....

http://www.vgchat.com/Encyclopedia/index.php?title=Username&action=edit

with Username being your username.

If the username has a space, replace the space with a _ .

For example...

http://www.vgchat.com/Encyclopedia/index.php?title=Max_Mouse&action=edit
for
Max Mouse

Then post the link here and I'll add you to the list. Then you don't have to wait for me to add a link to make it.




Posted by Klarth

Searching doesn't work.




Posted by Jesse Smith

Arg!!! I'll have to look for a wikipedia message board and post about the search.

Also, this doesn't have to be 100% facts about a member. You can have fun. Ever dream about a member? Go to that members page and post about it. Include your name so we know who had the dream.

Ever visited other members face to face?? (I know many of you have!!) Make a page about the visit and all of you talk about it and post images if you have them. (And PM me or post the URL to be added to the index, or link to it on each of your pages.) I can host the images to save you bandwidth. PM me the URLs of them and I'll upload them on my server.

Oh, and FIX THIS. NOW.

I tried turning on image uploading, but it wouldn't let images be uploaded, safe_mode block, even with chmod 777.

Posted by Klarth

Then, uh, make your own page?




Posted by Klarth

Alright, here's the new member template. Just put this at the beginning of a page about a member.

Quoting Klarth: Alright, here's the new member template. Just put this at the beginning of a page about a member.
[/code]


Now I get it. So the person editing there page would put that in the file! I wasn't sure if there was some script or the template php files that that went in to!! I'll add a link to that post in the FAQ page for the profile thing.



Posted by Linko_16

I brought the idea of the Encyclopedia over here from ZeldaPower, but now I have an idea I can bring back to them. Thanks, Jesse.

Try to be serious about this, guys. It's cooler to have actual, factual stuff instead of "omg this member's a fag an i don't like him oll."

Some one did that to The Judge!!!! Luckly you can see each version of an edit and revert to an older version. So don't have a heart attack Judge when you see your page flaming you!!!!


Hopefully with in a few days I'll have that contest started. So if you don't have a page made yet, get a head start on it? Not linked? Make it and post/PM me the link.

Guess which. B)

Who edit my entry so that it was anti-Fag Master? higbvuyb did it the first time with me right next to him... :)

btw, I still have the Psyduck Show gifs on my computer, as well as various other images from the front page of the 2004 April Fool's Day if anyone wants them.



Posted by Fate

Take off "conejita" and put "Fate."




Posted by Jesse Smith

Actually, both names were there! Now only fate is.




Posted by Fate

You know, Jesse, "Welcome to the World of Princess Kitty" was a pretty notorious thread. You should make a link so I can talk about myself and other members could, too. :(




Posted by Jesse Smith

If you know where the thread is, get the info, make a link to the page using the title of the thread,

[[Welcome to the World of Princess Kitty]]

click the link to that page and then create it.

[quote=Encyclopedia]Raptor is one of the best-known members to have visited VGC, mostly for his articulate posts and excellent use of phrases and clever puns. Nearly every member of VGC was captivated by Raptor, keeping their mouths latched onto his sac, ready to swallow all that came forth and eager to beg for seconds. A few members ([URL="http://www.vgchat.com/Encyclopedia/Pit"][COLOR=#5a3696]Pit[/COLOR][/URL], [URL="http://www.vgchat.com/Encyclopedia/Skitzo_Control"][COLOR=#5a3696]Skitzo Control[/COLOR][/URL], among others) were active denouncers of Raptor, and often spouted their dislike for the poster, and also for the drones that dragged from between his legs.
Raptor was well-known for his music tastes, and is one of the members that began the [URL="http://www.vgchat.com/Encyclopedia/index.php?title=Dream_Theater&action=edit"][COLOR=#ba0000]Dream Theater[/COLOR][/URL] fad around VGC; being the sheep that most VGC people are, they decided to follow him and then talk of how much they loved him. Other bands that were instantly praised by all as soon as Raptor mentioned them: [URL="http://www.vgchat.com/Encyclopedia/index.php?title=Flogging_Molly&action=edit"][COLOR=#ba0000]Flogging Molly[/COLOR][/URL], [URL="http://www.vgchat.com/Encyclopedia/index.php?title=Alice_in_Chains&action=edit"][COLOR=#ba0000]Alice in Chains[/COLOR][/URL], and [URL="http://www.vgchat.com/Encyclopedia/index.php?title=Therion&action=edit"][COLOR=#ba0000]Therion[/COLOR][/URL].
Beyond anybody's comprehension, [URL="http://www.vgchat.com/Encyclopedia/Jesse_Smith"][COLOR=#5a3696]Jesse Smith[/COLOR][/URL] never turned Raptor in for the criminal offense of attacking the boards multiple times.
My personal favorite.:)[spoiler]Yes, I wrote it.[/spoiler]

Who's "Aesthari"? A tweak to the ending would be nice (pls).

Nah, he was this awesome guy who used to post a couple of years ago, then suddenly disappeared. :(

Because, as we all know, we only listen to Dream Theater because Raptor liked it. This is, of course, why we all talk about trance on VGC, and dropped Dream Theater the second that he discovered the genre. Naturally, it is merely an unfortunate coincidence that none of us had even taken the time to check out Dream Theater until it was passed on mostly through word of mouth and AIM file transfer - it was on almost everyone's to-do lists for so long and we never got a chance to check them out until being prodded by each other!

lol, bandwagon, lol, lol, i'm clever, bandwagon, people share opinions, lol, bandwagon, lol.

Did I ever tell you how much fun it is to dress up as a wolf?

I want to work with UPS in hawaii when I'm older.




Posted by The Judge

There, threw in some stuff about me that isn't pure bullsh*t. Anyone who remembers stuff about me should feel free to add to it.




Posted by sabre


Quoting Klarth: Did I ever tell you how much fun it is to dress up as a wolf?

dude, you dress up as a wolf too? awesome, tell me what music you like so i can suck your proverbial dick by following you mindlessly! because, as we all know, anyone who doesn't do something REBELLIOUS or stand out from the crowd is a sheep bandwagonhoar in a clique, who kisses up to raptor.



Posted by Klarth

i like: 50 cent, linking park and sum 41. i'll hit you up on aim and tell you what songs to send to everyone else on your buddy list man.




Posted by The Judge

You should all listen to My Chemical Romance and Coheed and Cambria. They make life worth living.




Posted by Vampnagel P. Wingpire

Or just the backstreet boys. *** they rule all.

[quote=The Judge]You should all listen to My Chemical Romance and Coheed and Cambria. They make life worth living.
I thought they made people want to die?




Posted by The Judge

I want all people dead.

As such, if everyone else listened to them, they'd make my life worth living.

And I think Smashmouth is actually pretty good. Erm...was.

Oh. :( I think it's been long enough; I officially claim any "aesth" part of a username. I'll make mine tomorrow, ish.



Posted by The Punisher

I seriously hope emo music is not the next thing to spread around on this forum. My school is becoming plauged by it, and I have to manage threw the halls with seeing one or two goofy emo kids crying and wearing girl pants. Im sorry that I might dress like a hippy becuase im to lazy to go buy new clothes, but wearing girl pants is just to **** wrong.

Anyways I Think we should all add to Raptors profile, or those of us who knew him should.

Posted by Jesse Smith


Quoting Fate: Internal links put on weight, right? Mine is packed with them.


External links are even better (Links on other sites, for those of you in Rio Linda), hince the idea to place the link on signitures on other boards with only your username as the text.
