Well if it's any consolation, whoever wrote the stuff currently on the wiki, thank you. It was helpful to me during my first play through.

Thanks for creating the wiki in the first place Chimto if it means anything :)

1.6d has just been released, and I'm going to close the wiki in 1 week. If you don't want that to happen, go and contribute properly.
(But I bet that won't happen)

Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.

Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.

Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.

Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.

As the deadline has come yet the wiki still didn't receive enough support, I have contacted the Wikia staff to close it.

And now it's officially closed.

That was the point I was trying to get across to Chimto but it seems we cannot see eye to eye and is the only thing I disagree with.

Sooner or later we will need the wiki back and then he will have to put in EFFORT to get it up and running again and inform the forums etc... I really did not understand why he couldn't just leave it be. If he doesn't like it, ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist. In no way is he obligated to work on it nor take any blame for it to be empty. He had NO LOSS from keeping it open and only stands to LOSE TIME and INFORMATION that is already on the wiki from closing it.

The other point is now it's closed, I'm not sure we could get it open again. As we'd have to somehow convince him that we'd work on it and not run away like his previous volunteers and I'm sure his going to be very skeptical of anyone who says they will commit. There are concerns there whether we will ever get it back.

Either way he has been here much longer then I have so I did not feel like I had the right to argue the point. Ultimately it's his decision in the end.

(and the reason why I made no contribution after you posting about it is because your post we merely a DEMAND for work. This is a free-game and a free community and be no way is anyone OBLIGATED to do anything. People will support a game they like naturally, provide the outlet not limit it. Besides I had little interest in writing wiki things after you had already strongly objected your views against it as had I wrote anything you would probably have said there wasn't enough support and closed it/deleting everything that I put in, wasting me time and I wasn't taking that chance).

It's not gone for good, though. I could always ask Wikia to re-open it, but only if you could improve it to the point of being useful.

Anyone can help, as long as they have good English.

Okay now we have a new Wiki for the campaign here which was created by Aero a few days ago. Consider the first wiki a lesson and now it is time for us to correct it. Anyone with a good English are more than welcome to join and start re-building the wiki. Come on guys, let's do this  ;D

And I would be more than happy to have Chimto back.

Is the name even right? It would be nice to have something like a framework what kind of articles there have to be. After all, you could see which articles need to be written and so on.
I'm looking for an as good as possible English-speaker that can take a look at a few TCO dialogues. Please send ma a private message to confirm/see whether you can help me or not.

I myself don't know much about organizing the Wiki so I will need someone to help.
You could look at this wiki. It's a very good quality and well-organised wiki, in my opinion. I won't directly help with this wiki though.

So yeah, I created that new Wiki. Those who're willing to help please do so.

I'll also start to put some stuff there soon.
