Some of you might have noticed that the Encyclopedia Ermariana, formerly hosted at Geocities, was switched to a MediaWiki site on August 22nd this year. The MediaWiki site then broke down for a month or so, until I reinstalled it on November 8th. Now, the Wiki site has moved to a new host, and has been upgraded to version 1.5.3. A notable change is that image uploads are once again enabled, since the new host does not employ php safemode. I'd planned getting a new host from the start, and I was going to wait with the actual announcement until the site was at the new address. This is now the case, so here's the announcement: The Encyclopedia Ermariana is now available at http://encyclopedia.ermarian.net ! If you are linking to it on your BoE/BoA site, please don't forget to update your link. You need to log in to edit pages, but anyone can create an account. Feel free to add to the site; that's what a Wiki is for. :) -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

No, that's what I meant by "some of you". I actually put it in my sig and told it to some people (eg. Drakey) and posted it in a few threads, but I never actually announced it. One reason, of course, is that I don't generally like to host things under my real name, and the old address contained exactly that. Edit: And the Geocities site has been dead so long that it's no wonder you haven't heard of it.

Your real name's not that hard to find anyway... -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy. In case of emergency, break glass. Posts: 3351 | Registered: Saturday, April 6 2002 08:00 |

Some of it is, but most of it is derived from BoA/BoE scenarios, and a lot of it is made up on the spot. For example, Drakefyre has quite extensive informtion about the Vahnatai, which has neither been used in a scenario nor derived from the games. The history of the Empire (the move from Aizo to Pralgad, the Ironclad dynasty, the Anama War, etc) is well-documented, but practically all of it has been invented by oldbies for use in scenarios and for the BoE arena. David, no it isn't, but all the same I'd like it if it were easy to find only if you're looking for it. That should keep off the less patient stalkers, and those who know what to look for are usually able to find it out no matter what you do. It's not common for a guy to get stalked, but it's not unheard of. We need a :ph43r: smiley here. :P ----- Edit: Since the "Bored" topic was locked and this is closest (and mine, so I can hijack with impunity), the statistics will indeed be done in two weeks, and will be hosted on the new server. Also, note that all monthly ranking lists are currently unavailable and will remain so until Logo gives me the files I stored at images.polarisboard.org, which was taken offline rather more quickly than I had anticipated.

Aran: Can I have your exact location? I want to stalk you. :P And that's what I thought about the information; I highly doubted Jeff would have dont any of that. It is good, though. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. :ph34r: Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |

quote:Aran has a stalker. Don't you? :) And I'd be thankful if nobody else encroached on my terroritory. Aran has been mine for months now, and I mentioned it specifically a few times on Spiderweb. You might have forgotten, but I didn't. And won't... As for the Encyclopaedia.... I now have lots of free time, so I might go on over and update it. I did contribute some okay stuff at the very beginning, and I've been Spiderweb games for much longer now... -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go?

I've never seen you sneaking around the house here, but then I don't pay a lot of intention. -- The endeavor will be going beautifully, with a shiny new interface I just put together. So it's minimalistic, but it works! Of course, it will only get interesting when I finish a similar interface for displaying the data. But that will be worked on, have no doubt. 4:15. I need to sleep. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

While my own stalkerish obsessions are focused on people not on this forum, I'm astounded at the fact that someone who calls themselves a stalker would have to stoop so low as to have to *ask* Aran what his real name is, where he lives, what program was used to make his family's website (Microsoft FrontPage 4.0) or how much money he has donated to Wikipedia (20 Euro, 1.05 Euro shipping charge for a net result of 18.95 Euro). -------------------- ~Note : The professional newbie's advice should not be taken seriously, or at all.~ LINKAGE Posts: 364 | Registered: Saturday, January 17 2004 08:00 |

Listen, I didn't make that homepage, okay? That was my sister. Just in case someone gets ideas about me and AffrontPage. :P Oh, and you missed the second donation of 10? half a yeear later. And without something to ship, how is there a shipping charge? -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.
