Trifletraxor Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Lots of stuff being written in the forum would serve well in the wiki. However, as the wiki is a click away, and people cant see weither something new have been posted there, it's kindoff "out of sight, out of mind". Would it be better if the wiki was organised as a subforum like the Gamer's Cavern? So everybody could see when something new had been added? Making it more a "part of the forum"? What do you think?

SGL. I'd rather see a files section than a wiki. I've seen several RPgs that have them, and genera;lly find them inferior. Either they are hard to find/organize, or too many people can edit them, or not enough people can edit them, or they are hard to find and navigate. Plus you don't get any feedback from a wiki. It just is, it isn't interactive like a forum. Quote Chaos stalks my world, but she's a big girl and can take of herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just is, it isn't interactive like a forum. It could be made interactive by allowing f.ex. 5 posts in revers order below the article. But a files section is also a good idea. SGL.

soltakss Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 If you made it viewable as a Forum, but only editable as a Wiki, then that would be ideal. Viewable as a Forum means it is easy to view and has topics organised together. Editable as a Wiki means that people won't just post responses willy-nilly and it will stay focussed as a usable resource. When BRP comes out officially, the Wiki should take off.
