Dear Ganiman, Gahoo, Mierin, and Wikia

At least at GameFAQs if you wrote a guide, it was your property and copywrited to you.

Haha, I asked if it was possible FFXI wiki people were profiting off the move in the last thread. Kinda weird personally, I put up a lot of the info in the bestiary, for nms, and blu spells among other things, and some guy is profiting off of it.

Maybe this is not the right place to ask, but for the BGwiki, will everything have to be reformatted and/or reworded? Or can we just take the stuff we already submitted to the old wiki and put it up on BG?

If you are the original author for something on the wiki and you copy it over and add it to the BGwiki yourself then it's not an issue. But other people can not copy something they didn't write and add it to the wiki without there being issues.

That's because he knew better than to post right now... he knows what's up.

Guys, leave him alone, he works hard.

Technically we can do whatever we want with the content on FFXIClopedia, because it's GFDL, but that would be pretty lame.

[Amele]

this may not be the best place to ask, but do we have an idea of when the BGwiki will be open for edits?

This thread didn't blow up like the last one did. ; ;

I don't think there's any way the wiki people can dig their way out of this hole. So I'm thinking they realized it was a lost cause and decided not to dig themselves any deeper.

What I don't understand is that GameFAQs (read: Jeff "CJayC" Veasey) did the exact same thing, except instead of for the amounts Taj posted, it was for around 1,000,000. He sold to CNET and became a "full-time employee/stockholder" just like this situation.

Nobody had pitchforks and torches out then, the only difference here is that GameFAQs didn't hold a fundraiser. (which I'm still wondering how CJayC afforded to host before he sold out to CNET)

people use gamefaqs? for ffxi?

When you ignore the troll accounts, the people who cant bother to level their own characters and the random gilbuyer here and there it's a pretty decent place.

So that leaves to forum to you and....you?

Well uh... yeah I guess. When I said troll accounts i meant like miyu tea girl and typhon, not regular users who happen to troll (IRCgeek tempyst naygor bigfish to a lesser extent etc)

Miyu is not a troll, Miyu is the voice of reason.

So, what happened to the ffxiclopedia forums? I had a fantastic dinner, took a shower and was totally readied up for the best part of the evening: reading about paralyzed WSs. But alas, foiled again.
