You should see the Flint the Time Detective Wikia, you want a contrast there is nobody editing except me. I'm ever so busy enough not to always be able to edit here. So imagine how much I edit that wikia.... And you guys know I'm not comfortable editing with no one to aid me, right? I rarely edit out of shyness and lack of time. >_<

Its really tough, but if the community is good and determined, then they accomplish much and it benefits a lot of people. I said this about ours in 2010. I like wikias because their driven by the passionate side of things, rather then wikipedias colder approach. There are clashes of personalities in contrast... But I remember the pre-wiki days when people relied on one random guy for things on the net... Who may or may NOT update his site and often misses a lot of details. And then there were geocities early days and the old MSN sites, which stole content from websites regularly. Things are better now.

Then again, I also remember when a e-mail inbox got full on about 50 e-mails and how annoying it was to clean it out every day for that reason. Now its hard to imagine what life was like back in the early 2000s. :-/

I remember when Elfwood was considered one of the biggest places to put your art up on, before the DA revolution. And MySpace was THE end site to have a social media circle on... And the rise of youtube and its crude early days when a toy Light Sabre thing could be the most viewed video... I still have an old Elfwood account and one of my friends had a MySpace.

Oh and Encyclopedia Encarter or however it spelt/whatever it was called was regarded as the place to do quick look ups on any subject on... And how it gave that up because of Wikipedia came along... I remember when the Grim Fandango was just released and now playing its remastered version... How much I hate the game despite its demo back then exciting me.

I'm rambling... But you know, I've been on the net since 1998/1999... The first two websites I logged into were for Manchester United football club and the Spice Girls unofficially run fansite. Both of which were not my top picks but my IT tutor got the class to log into. My first e-mail came in 2000 from Yahoo, then because of its "we'll forget you exist after 30 days!" I lost the account... I did hotmail and its still with me today. I have a new yahoo account though thank goodness that horrible 30 days deletion thing is gone! >_<
