Hey, I enjoy being a historian for the Wikia as well. A lot of the talk page with Dominus has been on the early history and the crazy period from 2006-2010 before the arrival of Raadec and Emerald.

Wow, that brings back memories. You know, I forget who did the background. I want to say that was Toxic, he did a lot of that stuff back then. I remember me and Raadec being involved a lot with the theming after he left, I remember finding the font that was used for our buttons and then Raadec creating all the stuff. Oh, those days, I remember all the stuff I broke!

That background was indeed one of the early backgrounds when I started. It looks so hideous now, though apparently that is what I saw when I started. It was better than the previous theme, nothing apparently, though it was a lot nicer when Raadec (?) suggested using the Quake logo.

Yes, a dark background is a lot better in my opinion. 513 pages on the Wikia, look how far we have come!

Indeed, it is so weird to see how far we have progressed. Even I, who has been around for quite a while, take a lot of the new changes for granted :P
