Maybe it's just as well no-one's interested just yet, I'm thinking the best way to do this will be by generating it all from a text source, I can write the code for this (I think). It will be this source which is edited directly. All the same, these things will still be informed by discussion. --[[User:Zeracles|Zeracles]] 23:17, 16 February 2008 (CET)

Latest revision as of 01:46, 5 October 2009

So as I was saying on my user page, what I hope to do here is have a place which holds the sorts of contents of a history which are objective. Anyone can contribute.

What I have in mind regarding the forums is a kind of thread catalogue. Perhaps: User:Zeracles/History of the Star Control fan universe/Thread catalogue

Also a chronology. Events like new threads, new ultronomicon pages, new posters, new editors on the ultronomicon, if someone seems to have disappeared off the face of the SCFU then when their last post/edit was. UQM remake releases, music remix releases. Perhaps: User:Zeracles/History of the Star Control fan universe/Chronology

Idea catalogue. Where was an idea first mentioned? Give credit where credit is due (yes, this follows from recent conversation on my talk page). Perhaps: User:Zeracles/History of the Star Control fan universe/Ideas

As I've said, I'm a relative newcomer. Thanks for any interest. --Zeracles 21:27, 18 January 2008 (CET)
