User talk:Crashfreak99

Hey
Austin here, didja wanna chat?

Yeah I did you can ask my question or chat to me on my talk page and I can do the same on mineCrashfreak99 09:28, November 27, 2010 (UTC)

Let's see...if I remember, I had beaten CTTR already.

Hey, if you ever find any good screen captures of enemies or whatever, I can totally crop and fix them, like I did the frog, and the upcoming goat. Thanks!

editing
hi, I think you should know about last trivia fact on this page http://crashbandicoot.wikia.com/wiki/Diggin'_It

CNK 3D characters
pls, could you write what characters are playable in CNK 3D, if you know ?

thanks ;)

Hi
Thanks. Wow, the layouts changed alot while I was absent. Heard there was trouble with vandalism, how is it now? By the way, need any help? Cortex Castle 19:42, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry I'll try. I don't really fancy the new layout it makes my computer slower. Anyway let's talk Crash, so what do you like about it? Personaly I like the gameplay and characters (better than Mario). Also what do you think of the newer Crash? Cortex Castle 22:08, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

I think Coco Bandicoot should be Article of the Month as I added alot of neat stuff and more pictures check it out if you haven't seen it. Cortex Castle 09:48, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

I prefer the older games but I don't have pure hatred for it. One question as a Tiny fan yourself I take it you don't like the newer one I don't, as well as Aku Aku (who looks like a orangutan) Uka Uka and Cortex (what happend to his huge head that was part of the humor in Twinsanity) What do you think of the gameplay? Cortex Castle 10:55, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, the gameplay in Mind over Mutant I didn't really like and backtracking to the other side of the island almost felt like a chore, but, I like that they brought TNT and digging back. I like Twinsanity aswell in my opinion it's the best Crash game that's non ND. What do you think of Wrath of Cortex I think it's great, it was one of the first games I got for Playstation 2 along with Ratchet and Clank and Wacky Races. Cortex Castle 22:00, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

I like it just the same as Warped, but, I admit the loading times were painfully long. My favorite boss fight was probably Crunch and Lo-Lo. Cortex Castle 15:45, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

I love CTR, to be honest I like it better than Mario Kart, I liked playing as Ripper Roo and Pinstripe. CNK was ok, but, I didn't like the team system and the karts felt slow at times. Have you ever played CTTR? I like that better than CNK, but, still not as good as CTR. Cortex Castle 14:00, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Favourite Twinsanity Level
My favourite levels in Crash Twinsanity are Boiler Room Doom, Slip Slide Icecapades and Twinsanity Island. Cortex Castle 16:30, 26, 2011 (UTC)

Favourite Naughty Dog Crash
By the way what is your favourite Crash of the Naughty Dog era? Mine is Cortex Strikes Back because I love the improvement from the first and it's alot of fun especially the Polar levels. Cortex Castle 16:30, 26, 2011 (UTC)

Favourite Crash Bosses Reply/Track Infobox
My favourite bosses are Ripper Roo, Tiny, Dingodile and of course Neo Cortex. Also, a little offtopic but is there a way to make a race track infobox? (you know like the level ones) Cortex Castle 20:25, January 29, (UTC)

mine are pinstripe and crunch ONLY AS BOSS IN THE WRATH OF CORTEX! the nasty mask (forget the name) ripper roo koala kong tiny tiger and finaly dr neo.cortex

Success on infobox/Twinsanity 2
I have great news! I've just created a tracks infobox and I think I did well so have a look at Template:Track-infobox also where I first used it, Crash Cove and then we could start making them together! Ahem, anyway, I'd also like a Twinsanity 2 aswell espicially after I heard there were some things cut for time like Cortex in Coco's mind (I wonder what that would've been like), the actual Vice-Versa Reverser Device and evil Coco. Cortex Castle 20:05, January 30, (UTC)

Thanks alot. :D Sorry, but, I don't know how to nominate a featured article. I'd like that, do you mind if I do the same? bye. Cortex Castle 21:50, January 30, (UTC)

No problem. Apart from the game and world, there's not really much to say seeing as there's no gem cups or relics. Tell me if you know something I could add. Cortex Castle 18:05, January 31, (UTC)

Favourite Racetrack
My favourite's are Hot Air Skyway (I like the music), Polar Pass and Dingo Canyon. Do you think Dingodile is worthy of High Quality or at least Medium? By the way great work on Out of Time. Cortex Castle 22:45, Febuary 1, (UTC)

Thanks, whoever did it vandlised my page aswell. You know that wasn't me right?

Crash Mania Watermark
See when you upload pictures from Crash Mania, how do you hide the logo? Cortex Castle 12:30, Febury 4, (UTC)

Crash Bash is great, me and my best friend had loads of fun with it, my favourite levels are Space Bash, Snow Bash, Jungle Fox and Manic Panic. I also like how the computer screws up. However I think adventure is a pain to beat (i still haven't) what do you think? Cortex Castle 16:05, Febuary 13, (UTC)

Video Uploading
Hey, for some reason I am unable to open the video tab and can't add videos. Image, gallery and the others are fine is something wrong? Cortex Castle 20:10, Febuary 14, (UTC)

Hmm, strange and it's only the video tab, thanks anyway. That's great that your an admin now. Yes I would like to be one because I don't vandalise and have helped alot. Just so I know what's it like? Cortex Castle 12:00, Febuary 16, (UTC)

Brodie Buchanan 06:01, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Crashfreak99, can you do a project?
hello Crashfreak99, can you do a project please?!?!?

Thanks - * I LOVE RIPPER ROO * 00:53, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Never! You idiot!

Admin suggestion
Sure, I wouldn't mind at all! Actually even if I am a psyops I could still be able to help clean up the crud and actually try to return this wiki back to normal. -- The Magnum Master 06:45, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes I would Love to become an Administrator! I can really improve the Bandipedia by a mile!Bandichild 18:10, March 20, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild

Wiki Alliance
Hi, I am an admin from Kid Icarus Wiki. I'd like to know if your wiki is interested in joining a video game wiki alliance. The alliance has the internet's top wikis on Trauma Center, Drawn to Life, Nintendogs, Custom Robo, and Kid Icarus. The main goal of the alliance is to improve each wiki by sharing traffic, sharing ideas, and promoting interlinking. This wiki wouldn't have to give up any rights or anything (you don't even have to link back if you don't want to, though we would appreciate it), all we ask is for someone from this wiki to check out the site every week or two and take part in wiki discussions. Anyway, that's all, just send me a message when you get a chance. Thank you. --Vhehs2 22:53, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * You don't have to do anything really. We will put a link to your wiki from our alliance page and you're in. All we request is that you link to other member wikis if you have an article, and their wiki focuses on that topic. For example, if some character from Yoshi makes a cameo in Crash Bandicoot, we would like it for you to put a link to the Yoshi Wiki on your Yoshi article. --Vhehs2 17:20, March 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've just addefd your wiki onto our aliiance page. --Vhehs2 20:41, March 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes I would love to become an Adminstrator! I left a comment down in the Admin Suggest topic just look for the signature that says Bandichild.Bandichild 18:12, March 20, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild

Hey!
Hey, Crashfreak99! It's Mario jc from MarioWiki! Crash jc 05:50, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Sysop
Hello, while browsing around this wiki I've noticed that their are a huge amount of articles that should be deleted and redirected not to mention rollback all the spam. So, I'd like to know if you could give me sysop powers to help clean the wiki up. I understand that I'm new here but I could help alot with the added ability. In addition to that I have a good knowledge of wikia coding skills and how to use sysop powers. And since this wiki doesn't seem to have very many active admins I figuired I could help out. Could you promote me? :D -Komodo55 19:33, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Just one more question; who is site leader here? -Komodo55 14:51, March 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Technically, the original site leader of this wiki was Yowuza. But he has fallen off the face of the earth and delegated admin duties to Crashfreak. So I would say Crashfreak is the site leader now. -- The Magnum Master 22:42, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Admins
Are you and I the only active admins on the site? Or are their others? - Komodo 55  21:53, March 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I am an admin here also, although I am not quite as active as active as I want to be due to a lot of college work. But I try to make sure though that no vandalizing or spam is going on. I am hoping to fix a couple of big articles up soon also. -- The Magnum Master 22:40, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

The Pictures

 * Yeah...How exactly do you upload images of the characters in the charcter info box? Because I see where the part it says images but i dont know how to actually put the image in there. Please reply as quick as you can.Bandichild 13:54, April 3, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild

B-Crat
Hello Crashfreak99, I wanted to know if you could promote me to bureaucrat since it appears that you are the only active bureaucrat and normaly a wiki needs more than just one bureaucrat to function. - Komodo 55  21:51, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

Background
Just to let you know I've changed the background of the wiki (the old one was kinda dull), just thought I'd let you know in case you're wondering why the background is different :D - Komodo 55  21:14, April 5, 2011 (UTC)

Quality Scale
Do you think being site leader, that it might be a good idea to get rid of the whole quality scale thing? Because it's kinda difficult to rate articles from "high quality" to "low quality". I think it would be a overall better idea just to have a featured article instead and perhaps create a voting center where users can vote what the next featured article will be. What do you think? Because in my opinion it's stupid the whole quality thing. - Komodo 55  23:22, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

Just to let you know Im gonna change my username to Rilla Roo. - Komodo 55  21:48, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Delete
The reason I deleted Category:Crash Bandicoot games is beacause there is already another category called Category:Games. And it's kinda stupid to name a category "crash bandicoot games" when all the games on the wiki are Crash Bandicoot. So simply "games" is better. As for Naughty Dog games it's simply a sub-category of games so I see no need for an entire category containg only for 4 pages to exist. Don't you? As for CTR that was a mistake. Please respond as soon as possible and tell me if you agree with me deleting the obve two categories as they are both dupe categories of games. (Note I've deleted them) - Komodo 55  19:10, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Well, it's a little too late now because I already removed "Category:Crash Bandicoot games" from all the pages. However I'll just keep adding "Games" and then re-name the category to "Crash Bandicoot Games". Ok? - Komodo 55  19:18, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I'll keep the Naught Dog Games and sure I'll help out with the image categorizing. - Komodo 55  19:26, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

My favorite Titan? Hmm...probably Spike. Whats your favorite non-Naughty Dog game?- Komodo 55  19:33, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I definatly love Crash Twinsanity too. - Komodo 55  19:38, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

No, I've beat the game 99%, I can't get that last gem in Rockslide Rumble in the tunnel filled with TNT. It's so hard!!! - Komodo 55  19:42, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Whats your least favorite Crash game? - Komodo 55  19:51, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Do you have a Playstation Network (PSN) account? If so I'll add you as a friend. - Komodo 55  20:47, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Naughty Dog wikis
Hey Crashfreak. I'm from over at the Uncharted wiki. I thought it might be an idea to have a banner (nothing too obtrusive) at the bottom of each of the three Naughty Dog wiki homepages linking to the others. Basically, it would be a box across the content area with the Naughty Dog logo at the left, and the three wiki logos to the right. I'd be happy to do all the design work, but of course, I'd need the consent of you and your wiki community.

You can see a very basic mockup of what I mean here Obviously, I'd put some work into the individual logos (I just used the old Wiki.png files for the mockup), and customise it a lot more to fit the style of the wiki (ie. a grey style for your homepage). Each image would obviously link to the homepage of that wiki.

Anyway, let me know what you think, and remember, the design shown is only a very basic mockup. The real thing will look much better (hopefully!). Thanks for reading. --Klock101 01:01, April 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * EDIT: Hey. I'm messing around with some ideas, and the general plan is to have a logo for each of the three sites in the banner. Seeing as Bandipedia doesn't have a logo, I designed this It's fairly basic, but I feel it's best if there are no characters in any of the 3 logos. It will be tidier that way. Also, I used the Crash 1 logo, as the banner is for Naughty Dog wikis, I think we should stick to Crash 1, 2, 3 and CTR. It's an early prototype image, so let me know what you think of it and what I could add to it. --Klock101 01:26, April 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * EDIT: Hey. I've changed the logo around a bit and changed the picture of Aku Aku. You can see it here I still have the other one if you prefer it (I changed Aku Aku in it too). Let me know what you think. --Klock101 15:15, April 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * EDIT: I hope you don't mind, but I've put the template on the homepage seeing as it's already up on the Jak and Daxter wiki and the Uncharted wiki. Let me know what you think, and if you want, I can edit any bits you want changed, ie. logos or colour schemes. --Klock101 16:57, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

I remember mentioning it in CrashFreak99's talk page. But anyway, could you replace the Bandipedia letters with the new logo? It would look alot better too.
 * Yeah I've heard about the forum so how do I join the forum?

PSN
Hey, do you have a Playstation Network (PSN) account? If so could you tell me your username? - Komodo 55  19:46, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Hello Crashfreak, I can't seem to be able to get the image into the infobox on the Elementals page no matter how hard I try. Can you see if you can do it? - Komodo 55  20:05, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Naughty Dog footer
Hey. I put the footer on the homepage 2 days ago, and left you a message here asking what you thought of it. Maybe you didn't see the message? Anyway, the footer was removed earlier by a different admin. Can you take a look at it and tell me what you think of it and tell the other admins what it is. Thanks.--Klock101 22:24, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

The people on The Bionicle Wiki are not against me. It's just one individual user named Starcsream7. Anyway I agree with you that the orange background is better. :D - Komodo 55  19:12, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

No, I don't have an account on Crash Mania (yet). Do you have one? - Komodo 55  19:56, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

I'm gonna make an account right now, and I'll add you as a friend on the forums.- Komodo 55  20:01, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

I've just created the account under the name Komodo55, however I havn't gotten the confirmation e-mail yet. I'll tell you when I get it :D - Komodo 55  20:14, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

My account still has not been approved by an administrator, I'll tell you when it gets approved. - Komodo 55  19:42, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

I was considering creating a seperate forum possibly dedicated to Wikia's video games wikis like Bandipedia, Uncharted Wiki, Spyro Wiki etc. In a way Crash Mania is kinda like a rival to us since they have their "Crash-o-pedia" section. Many wikis also have forums so I was considering starting one for us on Bandipedia and are friends like the Spyro Wiki and Uncharted Wiki. What do you think? - Komodo 55  20:29, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

I'm gonna talk to the admins on the Spyro Wiki and see if they would be interested in joining, can you talk to the admins on the Uncharted Wiki? - Komodo 55  20:33, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

Accualy I've had a slight change of mind, how about the forums are for Naughty Dog games only? In that case I'll ask the admins on the Jak & Daxter Wiki and you can ask the admins on the Uncharted Wiki. - Komodo 55  20:43, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

The head admin is this user I believe. - Komodo 55  20:53, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Forum
Sure. I'd love to. I'm not sure how to go about setting up one from scratch, though. And Wikia's forum system isn't the most user friendly thing out there. Keep me posted with any developments. I'm sure you'll need the green light from the guys at Jak and Daxter wiki as well. --Klock101 22:05, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

The guys at Jak & Daxter already have their own forum so I don't think it's gonna work out the whole forum idea. Perhaps it would be best just to create a forum for Bandipedia only? - Komodo 55  14:29, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

I just founf out that it costs 38$ a month to keep the forum working and I don't think it's worth it, so maybee we should just drop the whole idea. - Komodo 55  14:47, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Wait! I found out that their's another forum-maker that's free! I'm gonna start making it now! - Komodo 55  14:49, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I've managed to create the forums [http://z15.invisionfree.com/Wumpa_Forums/index.php? here]. However I have no idea how to change to background, upload a logo, create topics, nothing. So Im gonna have to contact the customer service. - Komodo 55  15:12, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

The forums are incredibly difficult to manage and the skin is set in default unless I pay a standard fee of 9$ to change it to a custom made one. In addition to that the formate and posting system is horrible so I'm gonna be shutting the forums down. I'll continue to search the web for a better forum-creater but in the mean time Bandipedia will have to live without a forum. Sorry. - Komodo 55  22:48, April 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you are looking for a good and free forum creator site, try Invision Free. It is one of the more popular free forum sites and its easy to set the forum up how you like it. I have used it in the past, and its really good. -- The Magnum Master 00:10, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

Facebook
I was wondering, do you have a Facebook account? Because I was considering creating a page about Bandipedia on Facebook as it might attract more users. - Komodo 55  19:36, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

New forum
Okay, I already formatted the new forum for the wiki. Right now its not 100% complete, but I plan on adding the other forums for the other Crash games and plan to add a banner to the site also. You guys can register there and I will make you guys admins and everything.

Sig
Do you want me to show you how to make a coloured signature? - Komodo 55  22:12, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

First of all, do you know what "source mode" is? - Komodo 55  13:17, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, do you want your signature to look like this; Crashfreak  99 ''? If you don't like the colors just tell me? - Komodo 55  18:08, April 30, 2011 (UTC)''

Ok, now press edit on your talk page, now in the corner of the screen on the top right or left you'll see a box that says "source". Do you see it? - Komodo 55  18:11, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Now, press the "source button" and the whole screen will be filled with coding. Browse up to where I showed you the signature and you'll see that it's composed of full of coding instead of being blue. Do you follow me so far? - Komodo 55  18:17, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, next go in source mode and copy and paste the signature that I made for you (make sure it's composed of coding and not blue). Next, go into your "preferences" and scroll down to the bottom, their you will see an empty box that says signature. Paste the coding and check the small box beneath it and press save at the bottom. If it didn't work tell me. - Komodo 55  13:00, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

To be honest I don't think he is ready. He only has 300 edits and at times doesn't display admin qualities at all. So it would be better if (for now) he remained a rollbacker instead of an admin. And keep in mind that this wiki already has 3 active admins so I see no need for a fourth. If you have any objections to this please tell me. - Komodo 55  13:16, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Well, being an admin has to do with more than just one's edit count. Anyway, I think the requiremnt should be more like 700 like on the Jak & Daxter Wiki. Anyway, the only reason I question Bandichild's abilties as an admin is that he once called a vandal a "douchebag" and admins aren't supposed to swear or call users names like that. In addition to that he protected over 10 pages for no obvious reason. Anyway if you really don't agree with me on this, then we could alwas call a meeting on the forums with the other admins. What do you think? - Komodo 55  17:59, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, and did the sig work? - Komodo 55  21:10, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Their appears to be a slight error with the coding in the signature. In the first part where it says "Crashfreak" it links to a user called "Crashfreak" not Crashfreak99. If you don't understand what I'm saying just sign your name and click on the first part. Do you know how to fix it? - Komodo 55  20:44, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Warning
Yeah, right. But, if he deleted the page, he must delete the redirects. That's what I believe.-- 19:53, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, accualy I've realized the same thing. I'm not quite sure why, It could be an error or that the Wikia Staff was testing something. I'll give it to the end of the week or else I'll contact Wikia. :D - Komodo 55  20:22, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

I was considering blocking Klock101. I protected the main page so that only admins can edit It because that is how it works on 99% of wikis (Spyro Wiki, Jak & Daxter Wiki) ect.) but he won't start arguing and it's becoming quiet tiresome. What do you think? - Komodo 55  13:25, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Could you block him for about 2 weeks? In that period he should chill out and think about what he did was wrong. I'd like if you blocked him because if I do it he'll yell at me on other wikis for a while to come. Thanks. - Komodo 55  16:40, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Cortex Castle
Do you think Cortex Castle would be interested in joining the forums? Oh, and why isn't your sig working? - Komodo 55  17:49, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Watermark
Hello, I was considering making a rule that bannes members from using watermarked images on Crash Mania. Crash Mania doesn't seem to like other sites using their images (look at #5) and it looks kinda cheep when a user comes here to see images with the CM logo in the background. I think that starting now, we should try to avoid using CM watermarked images and try to replace any images if we can. What do you think? - Komodo 55  13:29, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Curious question
Why are the follow accounts Bandi444, Steve444. Dingo226, and Crash5556 admin accounts? Neither of those accounts have made a single edit and were just registered two days. We don't need anymore admin accounts on this forum, and we are already having administrative problems at is with the current ones. Unless I am missing something, I am curious about the new addition of these admin accounts. -- The Magnum Master 05:16, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Komodo55's adminstrative status
It seems that Komodo55 lost his right to be a part of the wikia administrative staff and was globally block for unknown reasons. I think that its time to remove his name from the administrator template. I don't mind doing this, but I wanted to get your approval. -- The Magnum Master 02:16, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

Affiliate with VG Wiki
Crashfreak99,

I was wondering if Bandipedia would like to become an affiliate of VG Wiki which is a resource for all video game-related information. Please reply to this message on my talk page, either on this wiki or VG Wiki. I'll be awaiting your response.

--iSodium, VG Wiki Creator (Talk) 01:23, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

It's basically the same as being a friend, so we both put links to the other's wiki on our homepage. iSodium, VG Wiki Creator (Talk) 11:02, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Gallery

 * Would it be nice to just go ahead and add gallery's to the articles up here? Like some character's need a Gallery like Crash Bandicoot for example, he has tons of photo's so im just wondering...Bandichild 16:55, May 25, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild
 * Then I will start to add them right away. And yeah my Userpage is cool.Bandichild 23:03, May 25, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild


 * I agree, a gallery in some of these articles will help some of them out, especially with ones that contain images all over the page. I will help fix these pages up also. -- The Magnum Master 05:15, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

Reason I Am Inactive
I'm awfully sorry I have not been as active much, but, here's why - My laptops internet has not been working, I'm using someone elses computer the now and an odd time. I have a PS3 though so I can keep up with what's going on. However after my holiday I'm gonna try and take it to PC World to fix it. Please keep me as an admin. Thanks and bye the now.Cortex Castle 50:30, 29 May, 2011 (UTC)

More Templates

 * The Bandipedia may need a Spoiler Template in case of beginning Crash players stumble upon something they may not wanna see.Bandichild 14:50, May 31, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild


 * You mean something like this?

 * Yes! Something just like that! How do you use this template?


 * I use GIMP to edit images. If get images online then I use GIMP to remove the background and make it transparent. Wikia supports transparency, so all transparent image backgrounds will be transparent. --Klock101 19:37, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Forum
I'm following the link on the right hand side of the "Recent Wiki Activity" page to the forums (|forums it links here), but I'm only seeing one forum section (for "Crash Boom Bang"), and I remember there used to be more sections. Did you move forums? --Klock101 14:53, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * It looks like Komodo hacked the forum and deleted a lot of the boards. I am going back right now to rebuild all the old forums he deleted, but it looks like I am unable to restore the old posts. That's okay though, there was not much posts before he went on his little rage-deleting streak. I will try to get it back to its former self with even more features. -- The Magnum Master 15:47, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

impersonating Wikia Staff
DaJulian is not Wikia Staff. If you are contacted again by someone claiming to be Wikia Staff and you suspect that they are not, please report it to us. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:56, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

DaJulain
Hey. I've been around Wikia quite a bit, and you get to know the habits and posting etiquette of their staff after a while. Which is why I was suspicious of "DaJulian". After I became suspicious, I had a look into it and checked the Special:ListUsers page. It lists all Wikia staff, and he's not on it. I reported him to Wikia, and they have confirmed that he is not staff, and he has been banned. Also, I recommend that you be wary of messages from an account called "DaNASCATT." It was created at the same time as "DaJulian," and is suspiciously similar to a Wikia staff members account name, "DaNASCAT." I suspect someone may try to impersonate him as well. --Klock101 16:58, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wow, good job on catching the impersonation. I should've known better than to believe a wikia staff would discuss such a personal issue on this wiki. I can't believe I fell for the bait. My guess that it was Komodo or one of his friends doing the impersonating. Now I am not going to trust anything that is associated with him now. -- The Magnum Master 18:14, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

User ban
I'm not sure if you've seen this user's vandalism, but he keeps re-posting it after I delete it. Can you block him? --Klock101 22:20, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Request for adminship
Hello Crashfreak. I know that Komodo introduced a "minimum of 700 edits" rule before you can become an admin, but I don't know if that's still in place now that he's gone. Either way, I'd like to apply for adminship. I don't want to start drastically changing the wiki, but there are a few things I'd like to sort out.

For example, things like this. Unregistered contributors making articles about fake levels. Or this, pages being made about fan mods that have no bearing over the series as a whole. Right now, all I can do is flag these pages for deletion, but even then the odds of an admin seeing the flagging are slim. Several templates here could do with some updating as well, but they are currently sysop protected.

If you want to see what I've done at Wikia, head over to the Uncharted Wiki, which I adopted last year. Back then it was a relatively empty wiki with approximately 100 pages. Now we have 769 articles, 4 admins and over 25,000 monthly visitors.

In terms of plans here, I've basically said above what I'd like to do. Delete pages that don't belong, point users in the right direction if they are adding false information or aren't taking the site seriously, and update some old templates to make them easier to use or more aesthetically pleasing. In the longer term, I had planned to improve navigation here by adding some navigational portals, given the approval of you and the other admins. Obviously, designing this will take quite some time, but you can see the early stages here.

Well, that's about it. Thanks for reading! --Klock101 01:58, June 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes I would love to be an Admin! Just let me know when you do it!Bandichild 16:26, June 17, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild
