It’s nice to meet others like you Le Rottweiler who are as big of fans of Quake as me. It’s a testament to how good the series was that this Wikia is going as strong as ever. Naturally any Wikia will only succeed when its subject is a brilliant piece of work adored by many.

That’s a fantastic idea with the sound files. It really does bring QuakeWiki another step towards being the absolute source of Quake information far beyond any other site. However I don’t know if it’s just me or not but the few pages I tried there was an ‘Invalid Source’ error message when trying to play the sounds. Do they require an add-on in order to play the files? Does anyone else have this same problem?

Death! I’m sorry; I never intended to leave you guys in the dark like that. I never intended to leave, I just stopped visiting for a while and just didn’t get around to visiting again. You know how it is, it’s like playing an RPG, you spend ages playing it and then you just stop playing for a while. I do however intend to stay. Earlier this week the idea of playing Thief came to mind and then I thought ‘Oh bugger, QuakeWiki!”

How kind it was for you to be concerned for my well being. I think we may have touched upon the subject that if anything did happen to one of us, the others would never find out. A bit unfortunate really.

I think I remember now. I drew a really rushed idea with the four logos in the four corners. Remind me made it because they did a superb job with putting the logos on the original background of Quake. I will post the screenshots to show what I am referring to. But I seem to be correct in that it’s not an issue for everyone, or anyone else by the look of it. Since this does not seem to be a problem for most people, it makes sense to not make any changes. See below for screenshots.

In the screenshots I will upload please note that in the first one I am at 100% zoom (normal) while in the second one I am at 65% so I need to zoom out quite a bit in order to see the bottom logos.

Well then we need a second bureaucrat because QuakeWiki is clearly progressing at an accelerated rate and who knows when we will need a new administrator. My disappearance these past four months has made this fact clear. Obviously it will be either you or Vork and I think all three of us decided last time it would be you. But I have no idea who has been here more active lately so let me know which of you think should be a bureaucrat and then that will be that.

So much has been done, it’s fantastic. I still remember when I visited QuakeWiki in 2009 and found it to be unforgotten and unloved. Sure it had content but nothing compared to the likes of which it has become in the past five years, and even the past four months!

I like the sound of better stability. Hopefully it was mean less lag for me. We really need to try it again one day, perhaps sometime next week maybe?
