Relevant to our interests
So, way back in the day, we had a wiki. Unfortunately, that wiki got so overloaded with spam, the webhost cancelled the web hosting, and the wiki went away. It was a very sad time.
Well, that wiki was useful, and fun, and just a good way to waste a few hours, so it's back!

Well, kind of. Nothing of the original wiki was able to be recovered, because the webhost nuked it from existence. Not that I can blame them. The spam had caused it to be occupying about 800% of its allocated space. So it's a brand new wiki, which means it needs a lot of work. And you can help. There are two ways:
1. Edit away! Add any relevant information, pups, players, whatever.
2. Share any relevant information here, and let someone else deal with the formatting. Bar information, locations and landmarks, fun plots you remember, specific events that happened once that people might want to call back to.
Not only is this a community project, but it also serves as a comprehensive newbie guide, so both IC and OOC information is great. If there's ever something you've found yourself wondering about in the past, it's worth bringing up, since someone else is probably wondering about it as well.

There must be scripts out there scanning for exploitable independently operated wikis and comment forms. Following the breadcrumbs spammers left behind and finding all the other wikis they spammed was depressing.
I still can't believe we got spam for WEATHERVANES

Wikia's slow and clunky, but yeah. Not much spam. Fair trade off, I think.
