Yep, which is why there is no Hidden Sanctum up there either. I really need to learn to be unethical. 8-)

How about all of us get together in a web page and add content ourselves and collaborate on writing one with all our view points. Just the facts, and no politics!
We can improve it and polish it, and when we are more or less satisfied, we can have the moderators post it. Since it is a live type of web page that anyone can update, it should be a simple matter to add, change or further polish it along. But the main part of it could be a collaborative effort.
Lets say start with its inception history, whose idea was it, what was posted first on the forum, how was it received, what year, what location, problems it had, good points, bad points, what it offers, how it does it, etc....just an idea.

Status : Offline | Actually, if I may, I think that it would probably be better, given Wikipedia policy, if it was someone other than a mod (or someone else directly involved in the running of the site) who posted it. Of course, I may be misinterpreting their policy, and it might not be a serious matter, but then again, why not whoever has it at the time posting it?
Secondly, I while I think that holding off until a bare-bones article (and I do mean bare-bones - just the basics) is ready, I'm inclined to suggest getting it up earlier, rather than later. Since Wikipedia is a wiki, it seems to me to make sense to put an article out there early, and let others in on improving it.
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
*ahem*
Sorry.

Hello There!
I am considering not that it be put up by a moderator alone. We could make this a group effort somewhere else before it gets posted on wikipedia, whenever those that put imput into it have the time to do so.
Some can proofread or improve grammar, polish it, or tell things that others are not aware of, or remember, however; a moderator is necessary I believe because I would consider that it would be nice to get the dates and actual facts of how it came together from the one's who put it together in the begginning. Sort of get all the original facts down pat. That's all.

Sounds good to me!

It seems to me that much of that could simply be added or accomplished on Wikipedia itself, thus providing a potentially larger pool of contributors - that is, after all (as I understand it) somewhat the point of Wikipedia's wiki format.
I don't think that I recommend stressing too much over producing a complete article before putting it up on Wikipedia; just get it beyond what Wikipedia terms, I believe, a "stub", and then post that. Further work may presumably be done on Wikipedia.
Oh, and by the way, I recommend looking for secondary sources - others that have reported on Just Adventure - rather than primary sources, as I seem to recall - but stand to be corrected - that Wikipedia prefers such. And remember to cite your sources!
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
