Help for the Proprietor

Hey, what's up. I kind of...created this here website...I ran it over at halopedia.org previously. When the database was moved, something happened to my account, I think...or maybe it didn't move properly. Either way, I can't log in. Can one of the new Admins see if there's something that can be done for me? I need to be able to log in, because I'd like to move the site back over to halopedia.org again. Thanks. -- User:AgentSeethroo —This unsigned comment was made by 68.92.125.114 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

The site went down for over a month last June because apparently the bill to maintain Halopedia's server space went unpaid. It was moved here, to the The Wikia Foundation system and merged with another Halo Wiki. Halopedia.org (or as we now call it, old.halopedia) no longer exists. As MediaWiki is an independant network, you'll have to register your username; our usernames did not carry over when we moved old.halopedia to MediaWiki software. Furthermore, as Halopedia currently has around 20,000 total pages, a move is not a wise idea unless we can somehow move everything at once as opposed to doing it all manually. But anyways...how are you doing anyway? still in the Air Force? You may remember me, I'm still around, so is Dragonclaws. --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 03:28, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, AgentSeethro! =] I'm RelentlessRecusant, one of the newer administrators here. Anyways, ED, myself, and the rest of us are chatting about it...I'd be glad to speak to you soon and meet with the creator of this place! ^^ Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 04:16, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, you could surely copy all our content if you liked, under GNU, but I don't think Wikia would just allow this site to just be deleted. I'll see if one of the staffers will comment here. -- Manticore ^{Talk | CSV} 04:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Manticore is correct. Halopedia didn't move to Wikia, so much as we forked it and merged it with some existing content from the old halo.wikia. Anyone is free to fork GFDL content as long as they keep it under a GFDL license. You are free to re-fork the content (download the article and image databases) and move it back to halopedia.org (and probably improved and larger than it was), or you can reconsider stay here. Forking a project is harmful for all involved, as it reduces the centrality of information, causing unnecessary duplication.

As for your username, it appears to be a valid username here, userID 59179, with a confirmed email address (gmail), but I do not know if it is yours. I also do not know if the user database from halopedia.org was merged (probably not). --Splarka (talk) 04:32, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

After a while, I created the account here to stop some vandal from impersonating him and invited AgentSeethroo to contact me through his blog or some other trusted mechanism. However, someone seems to have written over that message on the userpage. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 22:42, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Friends of Halopedia?

What happened to that?--User:JohnSpartan117 21:19, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaced by "Related sites" on the sidebar. -- Manticore ^{Talk | CSV} 17:28, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Can someone please...

Update the featured stuff (e.g. quote, pic and article)? That stuff has been here at least two months. --File:Final Goji.jpg Lordofmonsterisland "Roar to me" 23:23, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you RR for finally taking care of that. --File:Final Goji.jpg Lordofmonsterisland "Roar to me" 19:07, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Portuguese Halopedia

Is there any way to make a portuguese Halopedia?

File a request here. -- Manticore ^{Talk | CSV} 04:20, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Not just the background--the entire site. Please post what you think of the new skin at this link. Thank you. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 05:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

EVIL. EVERYTHING IS EVIL. Also, you cant' read some of the tags at the top of the pages (like the ones telling you the page is messy). Also, it causes my brain to feel as if a million flesh-eating insects are vomiting PURE EVIL which is flowing out my ears and into my lungs and giving me pneumonia.
