News for the Wiki
Okay, no bad news. It's good news for once!

Here's the deal:

I'm creating another Wiki: The Video Game Wiki.

It's gonna encompass all areas of video games, to include PC games, Consoles, and even frickin' Pong.

Here's where you guys come in, though.

Of course, you're all invited to help out at the new wiki, but I have a question.

Do you guys want to import all the Halo Wiki's information into the VG Wiki and delete this wiki? Or should we keep this as a separate, stand-alone Wiki?

The new wiki should be up and running in the next few weeks, so tell me what you think?

News for the Wiki (Discussion)
Separate stand-alone. If the other wiki is for a large volume of games, then all the Halo info would have to be compressed or it just wouldn't look very good. I say this is a good info site just on its own.--Dragonclaws 04:13, 6 Apr 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)


 * That was my same thought. I think I'll upgrade the software on this Wiki to the new version of MediaWiki, so it'll look purdier and whatnot. Anywho, keep up the great work, and thanks for everything. -- AgentSeethroo 12:14, 6 Apr 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)

Well...i think that if we were to transfer this info to Video Game Wiki..it would just be way too big. This new site should be dedicated to video games, and not mostly have Halo info. But still...we need to but our best info to Video Game wiki, and still make Halo look wicked. User:Krn!c 1:27 9 Apr 2005 (EST)

I'll rather the two remain separate, but that's just me. We have a lot of articles as it stands already. On another note, apologies if this is late, I haven't exactly been visiting. -- WarpObscura 19:52, 17 May 2005 (GMT+8:00)

I say keep em separate. -thepretenders22 8:03, 17 May 2005 (EST)

=UPDATE!= Well, the time has come. The new wiki will be up and running within the week, and the new games portal is being worked on.

Where is all this? Good question! Here's the answer:

The new site is an online video game magazine. http://www.gamerfocus.com The Wiki is dedicated to everything video games. http://www.gamerfocus.net (It's up now!)

But wait, there's more! What? Yes! Instead of a normal bannerized, popup ridden cheats site, there is the video game cheats wiki, at http://www.cheatswiki.com

All those sites, this sites, and a couple others are being integrated into the GamerFocus Network. That's why I haven't been around much lately. I've been getting a team together to get everything going.

Any thoughts? Post 'em on the talk page.

GamerFocus Team
Allrighty. The GamerFocus site is up, but I'm not gonna start advertising until I have some actual content to keep people coming. With the cheats wiki and all that, it shouldn't be TOO hard to build decent content, but that's not what I'm concerned about. What I AM worried about are the video game reviews and previews and all that carp.

I'm looking for a team of people to write for the GamerFocus Network, just doing stuff like previews, reviews, next-gen news coverage, all that stuff. If you're interested, shoot me an email at agentseethroo@blackboxrepublic.com.

You don't need to make a new site...
There's already one here. What's the point of making an entirely new one when you can just contribute to that instead?

Eh. It's just a project I've wanted to do for a while. I usually think I could do a better job than whoever's doing it at the time. We'll see. - AgentSeethroo

Comments After Update
Will this site's address change? --Dragonclaws 15:39, 23 Jun 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)


 * I'm not sure. I might point the URL to the new host server and keep the address. It depends on what I can get worked out. I'll try my best to keep the URL the same - AgentSeethroo

Will the Black Box Republic site/forum be merged into the GamerFocus Network? --Dragonclaws 15:45, 7 Jul 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time

Question for all users
Do you think I should change the name of the Halo Wiki to the Halopedia? Just a thought. - AgentSeethroo 15:24, 9 Aug 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)

Halopedia
It sounds like a good idea, it would make it easier to differentiate between us and www.halowiki.com. On another note, perhaps it would be better to change this section from "An Important Announcement from the Administrator" to "Site Discussion" now that the GamerFocus Network is pretty much underway. --Dragonclaws 19:18, 10 Aug 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)


 * Cool, I thought so. www.halopedia.com is available, so I'll look into either changing this site's URL, or adding the domain to my GF hosting and pointing the domain. -- AgentSeethroo 10:34, 11 Aug 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)

=Halopedia!= Okay, everyone. I'm registering http://www.halopedia.com, and the wiki will be moved there! Expect the site to go down for a day or two when we're moving things. In the mean time, there are a couple other wikis in the Network to work on! I suggest checking http://www.cheatswiki.com. -- AgentSeethroo 12:42, 11 Aug 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)
