No fan site?

So make one.

Since the Wiki thing became popular, it's become less and less necessary. We've got a great big collaborative effort that belongs to everybody - the need for us all to go around making cheap html pages duplicating what's already around has pretty much died down.

I like your site.

I dunno, our article on Jutland isn't anywhere near as good.

Speaking of which, there is bound to be a Gobot-wiki right? I need to find one for some more ideas.

I'm surprised that there is no fan site to the trilogy continuity.

Not many people seem to have a strong interest.

We're always happy to add content if people want to write it for us, and it's of a decent standard.

How long has this site been around.

Since 1997, IIRC.

Re: Gobots Wiki... I kinda considered looking into one, but it'd be a lightning-rod for trolling retards. There also simply wouldn't be enough content, and it could end up propogating the prominent position of the cartoon, which was awful (hence why it's largely a footnote at my place, and Alex Bickford's).

Look in your upper right hand corner underneath Prime's face and next to the forum icon.

I think you may be surprised with what you see.

Worst thing? I thought we had the date on the page somewhere, looked, and couldn't find it

Meh one year off. It's not like he said 1974 or something.

Anyway, it is a shame about the Gobot Wiki. Trolling and Flaming is one thing, but vandalism of something others like is just plain idiotic.

Yeah, but it's been there for a few days -- I have things to check on the forum/server before getting back to B, and have spent the evenings in between writing a course proposal...

But vandalism of shop stock is perfectly OK in your book eh?

I don't do the barcode... Sheesh. All I do is make a small dot on the bottom of the box.

Interesting...I came to the same conclusion but for different reasons.

I love Challenge of the GoBots and everything I've done from fan art to my site(s) to the book project reflects that. What's always offended me is that it's never gotten a fair deal. This fandom put G1 on a pedastal in the 1990s, though it's fallen out of favor due to largely identical reasons (how anyone can praise the BURNING JUSTICE trilogy and sneer at either is beyond me). I also see an awful lot of CotG in Animated, thus enjoying it immensely.

There's just no compelling argument for a Wiki in my opinion because most of the people qualified to contribute already run sites and to tell the truth I don't even look at the TF wiki either. I do think it would be nice if we could get together and set up one of those old-fashioned webrings though.
