Greetings I am Pink Freud, a relatively new user to DART. 

In the time I've been here I've experienced and learned about a very intriguing and wonderful community full of fellow intellectuals trying to understand the world just as I am. And believe the best way to advance is to debate about subjects in the hope of learning something new or sharpening their intelligence.

Earlier, I was looking at a top user on DDO ( Mikal ) and I discovered he had an entire wiki dedicated to him and several other DDO members. 


Quite frankly I was surprised what I thought to be a niche site actually had dedicated wiki entries to several key members. 

It was very enriching to read about events and the history of DDO ( a dead and broken site ) and shed new light of what the website once was

I take history very seriously and I believe that the community of DART should have a dedicated wiki that people actively edit to document the history of the site. 

Imagine in 7 years or so new moderators and debaters looking at the wiki and finding out enriching information and past events similar to the experience I had with the DDO wiki. Or old debaters and moderators returning to relive the golden age of the site. 

Link to wiki down below, I hope we can preserve as much history as we can so that the site can live forever and be preserved for future generations.

DISCLAIMER, I am new to editing wiki and don't exactly know a lot.

This is neat. 

Probably the best way to go about it would be to recruit 3-4 "writers" and then assigned each of them 3-5 pages to write. Assuming everyone does their work, you could have 15 pages done by summer's end.

Basically do this

Pinkfreud08, bsh1, Debateart.com, 

Comma and space should allow you to receive more people.

That would cost money I would much rather spend on developing the site. I instead call for a competition to see who in DA would like to be the writers and you, Virtuoso and Ramshutu decide who the writers are. That away it is free and the people who wanted to write did it willingly. A competition can be about who was able to provide the best overview of a DA member either all of them do the same member or they have different members each which would mean more work for the three of you.

No it wouldn't LOL. I'm sure you could get volunteers.

Alright, so I am really happy for everyone's enthusiasm!

However first things first, DebateArt's owner ( sorry I don't know your name ) I was figuring you could provide the writing staff with the information they need whether it be how you got the idea for the site, the long line of moderators that've been recruited, ETC. 

Now as far as writing is concerned, I am inexperienced with wiki so bear with me. 

I was figuring I could hold basic tryouts for writing staff as I'll only be accepting 5-6 writers. 

So on this forum, I want the resume to look like this, 

Resume: 

Username: 

Qualifications: 

Why you'd like to do it: 

Any miscellaneous stuff I should be aware of IE time constraints: 

Note: For qualifications, I am looking for people with writing experience, wiki experience, and good work ethic. 

Also for miscellaneous stuff, I am looking for people with not so busy schedules. 

Once I get my writing staff together we'll start to map out what the wiki should include, the basic ideas that I have is we should create a history section including lots of screenshots of the leaderboard and other pages as I expect for pages to change as time goes on. As well as including the full history of the site. Provided to us by the owner and possibly other notable figures. 

Also if you can't write but still want to help we'll need people who've been on the site a considerable amount of time to provide to us information detailing the history.

Eventually, in a few days, I'll examine and pick a group of writers and we can get working on it. However, currently, it's my birthday so I want to relax today and tomorrow I'll be heading up to SF. 

Cheers :-)

You mean that you will not pay me for flattering articles downplaying your vice like iron grip on the user base, and playing up the smoothness and curviness of your ass?
