Hi, Graphik. Join the club. I was just as surprised as you. The users most active during this change has been Haarg & Sir_Brizz, although tarquin and Wormbo have also chimed in. I took it upon myself to begin a "what's going on?" thread on BUF, but apparently "no one reads that". So, you'll probably have to hunt through these Discussion pages here on the wiki to find the real discussion prior to this move. Here's a link to the BUF thread I started April 1st : http://forums.beyondunreal.com/showthread.php?t=176210
- Hi :) Sorry if it was a shock. For a long time it was just a test site while Haarg & Sir_Brizz tried to sort out conversion of the existing material. I'm not sure there was much public discussion though I do recall a chat on IRC... -- Tarquin 20:44, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, tarquin. I'm quite pleased with the decision to move to MediaWiki. My only concern is that it seems we've formed The Great Divide without first considering a bridge. With so much to do and no obvious leader, explanation or plan, I'm afraid I'm not the only Wikizen who suspects he might suddenly be missing a Wiki. —Graphik 21:19, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
