Announcing the NWN 2 Wiki

[Musopticon?]

Pwned.

[Volourn]

I think both sides are acting kin dof childish. It's more proof that 'communities' are overrated espicially on the net.

[Rhomal]

While I agree on freedom of choice and all but a good point was made about the format of nwn2wiki.org being superior to nwn2news wiki.

If you change the theme of the site to the ICE theme is very wiki-fied look with almost no images.

 

The poster who did the compairsion did not look though the selection of themes and find a less image intensive one. Which typlical users are able to do. One does not have to keep the default theme. The point of the default theme is to draw attenion for new members/visitors not so much be a wiki exclusive look.

 

Also I enjoyed how they compaired a NWN2 wiki barbarion pages from the barbarion NWN1 wiki page. Shouldnt they compaire a nwn2 entry with a nwn2 entry? After all the nwn1 pages have eben up for some time and has has a lot of time to tweak and edit and look all pretty.

 

With all that taken into accout I dont hold much water into the 'comparison'.

[CaptainPants]

I... agree with Volourn. How disturbing.

[Judge Hades]

HAHAHAHA!

DO THIS.

I get into a good mood and I get labeled as insane? Gee, aren't you guys bunch of killjoys.

[Gabrielle]

Insanity has it merits.

[Judge Hades]

I do think it is silly to make such divisions, but if they want it to be done then who am I to say no. It is obvious that they don't want the Obsidian crowd involved in their little clique so why should we be a part of their community. Let them have NWN 1. I'll take the game from Obsidian.

Not in all ways. While they may be using a better technical solution, there is one thing that makes it inferior from a layout one.

 

Text that runs all the way over a computer screen from the far left to the far right is significantly harder to read than text that only runs through (say) 50% of it. There is a reason why books are in the format they are and why newspapers uses columns.

 

So it'd be a lot easier to read a wiki entry on nwn2news than on nwn2wiki.

I have a smaller screen and often have windows tiled. So nwn2wiki.org layout works better for me currently.

Besides CSS styles allow to set 'max-width' for block-level elements, so combining both layout styles would actually make it perfect.

 

Even better would be for nwn2news to use the same engine as nwn2wiki.org.

[Judge Hades]

In any case it is obvious that the BioPeeps and the NWN 1 community wants to make this a Us Versus Them scenerio regardless the efforts of Obsidian, Bioware, and Atari.

[Musopticon?]

Biodweeps? It seems to me that it is you who is trying to rally people to war.

Maybe I'm blind, but I can't see where can I do it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

No, not at all. Have you read the threads Rhomal has posted? The BioPeeps were clearly hostile to him.

[Musopticon?]

All I saw were some heated opinions, few idiots and people who just didn't know enough to reply with any merit. Pretty much the same thing what happened last time people here disagreed with Rhomal.

[Judge Hades]

Exactly/ Rhomal is figurehead of the Obsidian community where NWN 2 is involved and they just can't stand it. We must rally ourselves and form a NWN 2 community that will rival theirs and put the smackdown on the BioPeeps!

[Musopticon?]

Re-read my post. Especially the part "people here".

Edited December 15, 2005 by Musopticon?

[Judge Hades]

People here are simply Biopeep infiltrators with hacked accounts or alts. THEY MUST BE WEEDED OUT!

 

BWAAHAAAHAAAAAA!

 

Um... Was that abit over the top? I can never tell. (tee hee)

[Musopticon?]

If we hack'em off, who're going to make that utopian community you ramble about?

 

Edit: Does it look to you like we're(with Capn' Pants) alone here milling pretty much the same talk over various threads?

[Judge Hades]

Rhomal. :D

[Musopticon?]

[Judge Hades]

You know, I feel great. being in a good positive mood has definitely changed me. I should stay like this forever.

[Musopticon?]

In a good mood? You? Judge LiveJournal?

[Judge Hades]

Yes, indeedy. I should make my own thread about how I got inthe good mood but I think people got a little tired of my bad mood takeovers so I haven't.

Like I said, nwn2wiki definitely uses a better technical solution (technical in this case means the code that renders the page, not the wiki functionality).

 

The problem for nwn2news is that it uses a portal to render it's site. It's a good tool for a site such as that since it makes it easier for a large number of people to add updates, but it leads to clunky code and suboptimal layouts.

 

So naturally, a site that is only a wiki will have code more ideally suited to being a wiki, but I still think they should cut article text off.

[Judge Hades]

I don't know much about netcode but could you use multiple portals within a large portal to create a modular layout system that can work within the wiki framework?
