<.< is it okay to put any links on here? as in, sg ones?

RFC

I was looking at the edit history, and saw some editing by a fellow fan-site admin that strikes me as fairly petty. I'm going to recuse myself from any changes - either to his sites or mine. I don't want to get dragged down. But if one (or more!) neutral editors could step in, take a look, and make their own decisions, I would appreciate it. The diffs are most easily seen via [[1]]

I could be overreacting, but I'd like another set of eyes. Sapph 15:01, 8 June 2007 (EDT)

Eyeballs applied vigorously :P --Konoko 16:19, 8 June 2007 (EDT)

Utility Warning

Two questions about the utility warning.

First

While the original EULA clearly forbid map packs, the new one is not so clear cut. Check out the logic at | http://www.vidiotmaps.com/faq.php?q=eula. I think the case for legal map packs is a good one. --Sapph

The warning is a little long, maybe shorten the one mid-article and put the original long one at the bottom, like so:--Konoko 16:19, 8 June 2007 (EDT)
I'd like to re-request this be looked at. I believe quite strongly that the map pack is EULA legal. Additionally, I have yet to hear any corroboration to the statement that there were any suspensions associated with map pack use. Further, _Castle_ informs me that there is no code present for the client to send data back regarding use of file overrides. IMO, the warning is a bit of FUD. Sapph 07:23, 16 August 2007 (EDT)
I incorrectly quoted _Castle_. He said there is no such code that he is aware of. Everything else stands.

Disclaimer

Important Note:
Use of third party applications which modify the game client files in any way are forbidden by the EULA and Terms of Service. To date, only one large scale action has been taken against such violations. (In Issue 2, users were datamined to determine use of Vidiot's map pack, and hundreds of users were given one-day suspensions.) No actions have been taken since, but this does not guarantee such actions, or more severe actions will not be taken in the future. These applications are not endorsed by the Paragon Wiki, and users use them solely at their own risk.

Two

Neither I, nor anyone I have talked to, nor anyone who has responded to an RFC in my fora has ever even heard of a one-day ban for map use. Is there anyone who has first-hand knowledge of the ban (ie, was in the ban), and was directly told it was for map use? -- Sapph

Double tap. Can anyone confirm with first hand knowledge that this 2 day ban is anything more than a rumor? -- Sapph 19:39, 9 July 2007 (EDT)

Links to SG Websites

I have changed the way the sg's are linked. Discuss! --Konoko 16:24, 8 June 2007 (EDT)

Purge?

Recommend SherkSilver and Joe Chott builders be removed - they are ancient. -- Sapph 19:39, 9 July 2007 (EDT)

Removed JoeChotts. Didn't have a link anyways.
Coldfront's Sherksilver website doesn't indicate and updated time. Leaving in the list until the website goes down. --Konoko 15:18, 2 August 2007 (EDT)
Do'h! Just noticed the updated in that section. Sherksilver and JoeChott have been commented out. --Konoko 15:19, 2 August 2007 (EDT)

Other Fan Sites sorting

As recent edits note, I resorted these links by "apparent updated date". Here is some reasoning and 'official' dates. --Konoko 15:22, 2 August 2007 (EDT)

  • No Future.org and redtomax.com
    • Recently revamped, and IMO best resource for CoX data besides the wiki

  • Titan Network
    • Continually updated. As said above, indented list more visible.
      • How should the sites within the Titan network be sorted? Alphabet? Originally created? Popularity? My choice?
