Would anyone be interested in reviving the Ralphapedia? Here is my idea on this. Have the Ralphapedia on Wordpress which would be limited to a few trusted staff but have a separate Gunt forum which would supply the material for the Ralphapedia and be open to everybody.
 
I think if you want to make a wiki, Bossman, the best thing to do would be to remake the cwcki. We can start a gunt board here if there's enough interest; Ralph has been archived extensively and all that content still exists on KF; but the cwcki is down and has been for a long time now, it's archived and I think it would be a positive addition to the list of OnionSites if we went through the archives and rebuilt it just like when ED got soldout by GirlVinyl back in the day. That information deserves to be accessible to anyone who wants to find it.

There are over 2000 archived URLs for the cwcki

I really think that this is a better use of our time and resources than trying to recreate Spooky Bone's latest grasp at clout and IP logs. Plus, it's only a matter of time before it becomes lost data; it deserves to be preserved more than Ralph needs yet another site dedicated to him.

Do you mean like a historical library of some sort?

I mean copying all the archives onto a live wiki. I can be read-only with editors if Chris gets out of jail and goes back to his old shenanigans, but yeah more or less a historical library just like the cwcki was but without The American Hedgehog around to fiddle with it.

If it is truly over and done. I think a PDF historical library might be better. On the other hand, if he goes back to his old ways we could do a lightweight DokuWiki or a Wiki in WordPress. I am just not familiar with MediaWiki. But if someone here is familiar with MediaWiki that would be fine with me.

I think that would be the better niche to hit. Ralph related stuff also has the tendency to become very troublesome. If it is something you want though the information on him from other sites can be brought over to onion proper if there is a demand for it.
 
It was just bad luck with the first migration but I am considering throwing in the towel with MyBB. We had a fairly good forum with Simple Machines. The add-ons work better than with MyBB. There were some pretty cool themes. I recently posted another advertisement about adding tabbed pages to the future Onionfarms.net site. It would cost $800. I did not commit to anything. The developer I have is on holiday (Diwali festival in India). He will be back on Thursday or Friday. The big drawback with Simple Machines is there are no thread prefixes. One way to partially compensate is to use an Excel Spreadsheet to list the topics and being able to use the filter to sort them. As far as listing the updates and happenings like Kiwifarms, I think a comprehensive listing with the corresponding links using WordPress would work out. What's your opinion on this?

Now before lurkers jump the gun on this, onionfarms.com is staying with Xenforo. It is Onionfarms.net ( countries) I am talking about.
