News?
Should we add a News section? (or, would it be better if it were just News?) That way, even after every article is complete, people would still have a reason to keep coming back.

Pics
I got a bunch, but I don't feel like putting them where they go... So, go for it. ;)

Custom Special Pages...?
Haven't looked into this much, but I know it's possible to make custom special pages in php. I have an idea that may already exist somewhere (I can't be the first to think of it), it'd be handy to have a special page listing all episodes in a given namespace (or even category?) that DON'T link to any pictures(files). If everyone thinks it's a good idea I'll look into it.

I've thought of a couple other special pages that might be interesting to have... so yeah, go right ahead.

Ever done any php before? I've been meaning to learn, this seems like as good a time as any, but I'm currious. Right now I'm checking out the database layout to work out the SQL querry required, and I'll have to get the wiki source to study some of the existing special pages; my first experiment will logically be making a slightly-modified version of an existing page (with a new name of course) You'll be able to install it, correct? It's apparently just putting two files in the right place and adding one line to an existing file to include them.

Server Problems
No idea what the problems are, but it seems to happen now and then. Just slow, I think. Hope it hasn't caused anyone oany major problems.

I've run into it a bit, never any real problems tho, just frustration, thanks to wiki's design I never lose what I was typing if it happens at the wrong time.

Placeholders
I created two new placeholders. I finally translated yours (I haven't memorized AL1, like you guys), and I found it amusing. You said to give you feedback and ideas... My only complaint is that it's only AL1, which means casual fans just won't get it. I did screw around with making my own, but I made two versions, because of the same complaint. Let me know what you think.

I like 'em, but they're completely impossible to read in a thumbnail view (at least, with a 200px thumbnail size, the default) which seems like a problem to me... Doesn't seem like something that a lot of time should be spent on since, ideally, users should rarely be seeing them.

Active Users
Gee, I wonder who's been wasting the most time here...



Could those top two be Buddy13 and Gopher?

(actually, yes, they are)

Do I have a point? Not really. My bytes are probably higher just cuz I've been uploading all those screenshots.
