This needs updated ASAP to include all our sites. - Batleth 9-13-2008
Well, I completely updated it and then lost everything I had done, so I'll deal w/ it tomorrow I guess...I need sleep badly--UpInTheAir 03:28, 15 September 2008 (PDT)
- Linked the Site Feedback forums of all the other sites. Can't check the subscription links of the other sites, since I am not registered on any of them (and testing a guessed link for PiratesOnlineForums got me a login page). And I don't see the point of registering for a fansite of a game I don't play ;). --Thunderbird 07:05, 15 September 2008 (PDT)
Re-updated page. Still may require further tweaking.--UpInTheAir 15:02, 15 September 2008 (PDT)
Administrators are the owners of this site who oversee all the operations and major issues. Please do not annoy them with anything, as they are usually very busy.
I'm not happy with either of these lines and think they both need to be changed. Admins are proxies of Nick who actually owns the sites. They run things as Nick wishes in his absentce.
Next line sounds like we're too busy to be bothered by the normal users. Not the impression we really want to convue here. --Batleth 12:55, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
