Title: Pargon Wikia and Ouroboros Awards
Post by: CalebTheTimeTraveler on July 16, 2009, 07:31:32 PM

I saw on a few Wikias that they hold awards of sorts for well written pages and such, and I thought why don't we do that here, unless you already do that and I have just been oblivious to it.

For a while now, I've been awarding Spruce Hammers and Eabrace has been handing out Impervium Wrenches...

That reminds me... *Gives Aggelakis a Spruce Hammer*

We're not a "wikia", by the way. We're a "wiki".

Wikia is a wiki-hosting website. One that we're not associated with any longer.

To be Honest I didn't know there was a Difference.

Anyone can host a wiki.  Wikia (http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=21865011) (formerly Wikicities) is a commercial venture, founded by Jimmy Wales (http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=22337779) (founder of Wikipedia.)  They are in the business of providing hosting services for wikis, making money off of ad revenue.

Paragon Wiki was hosted on their site Aug 2007 - Oct 2008.  I'll just say some things didn't work out and leave it at that.  :)
