Making our mark...

#1 Post by ShiraiJunichi » Mon Jan 16, 2006 4:47 pm

I was just thinking, it would be cool if there was something listed in the wikipedia under "ren'ai" about these forums, and what goes on here. So I looked up ren'ai, and guess what I found?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%27ai
Looks like someone's been busy :P . If I had to guess, I'd say it looks like the work of PyTom... Anyway, I just thought it was kind of cool the impression this community has made. Wikipedia.org, anipike.com (I think), download.com, as well as a host of other places I'm sure

Nope, it wasn't me. The only thing I contributed there was an authorization to use the image they used.

In general, I don't go out and promote Ren'Py on places like wikipedia, but instead I wait for other people to do that sort of thing, should they deem it to be important enough.

I hope you didn't think I was trying to imply that you shamelessly promote yourself- because that's not what I think... I just thought you were one to promote ren'ai games in general. I mean, with all the time you've put into ren'py and the archives- and talking about registering a booth at conventions... Anyway, I wonder who wrote the article then... Someone from the lemmasoft forums, or someone else...?

One of the members here was definitely an active wiki editor. Was it chronoluminaire? It might be him though he hasn't been around here for awhile... or is at least lurking.

But anyways, pretty cool to see some info there.

Well, it isn't me. Probably Chrono :P Click the discussion tab for hints (and click to see even more discussions). A nice article. Whoever wrote it, likes fanmade ren'ai games. I'm not actually planning on contributing to wiki, because I have my hands full with the encyclopedia and keeping that focused. But it will be interesting to see whether all the editors can in the long run unify the entries, so that they won't clash and so on. I respect this kind of work. Kind of defines new terminology, it's probably nice to be a part of it.

That's because, with a little investigation, it's easy to tell who did it. Most of the protagonists are or were active in the community (if not this forum specifically), and noone has gone to any extent to hide their identity.
