Ciprian Recruit Joined: 20 Aug 2012 Posts: 8	Posted: 03-07-2014 04:46 AM                  I have decided to allow access to QuakeWiki.net, and allow users to post news, information, mods, tutorials, wiki entries and more. http://www.quakewiki.net/account/ I have created several new categories for News, Quake 1, Quake 2, Quake 3 and Quake Live and more categories can be created on request. Content will be moderated for a while, and the account page will be tweaked in the next weeks for easier access. The site is built on WordPress, so it will be fairly easy to post and edit content. _________________ QuakeWiki.net | CG Hubs

GD is a different crowd. I like the site and I see you have some of the really old archives from PlanetQuake, I'm glad someone was able to save as part of that stuff from disappearing from the internet. It probably needs a bit of sorting since there are no descriptions. I'm a little confused since you said that there are new categories for Q2, Q3, QL, but I only see links and sections for Q1, PQ, and DP. I'm guessing you haven't made those sections public yet? Anyway, nice work. _________________ GtkRadiant | Q3Map2 | Shader Manual

We lost the html and css files and all content for our website and I was able to salvage most of it from QuakeWiki and relaunch the website under our own domain at http://www.theenginesofcreation.com. I didn't know QuakeWiki had mirrored it and I more or less accidentally ran into it. Since then the site went through a redesign and part of the content was ejected again to have a more narrow content focus but if it wasn't for QuakeWiki, the site might never have seen the light of day anymore.
