Upgraded, and working on some things --Jase 08:34, 8 March 2008 (EST)

I've upgraded MediaWiki. I've been hesitant to do this because there is a very well-known bug regarding URL rewriting (read: it doesn't work) in the newest versions that require manual fixing. I'm lazy, so I don't like to reapply the fix. However, for you guys, I got over it and upgraded the wiki - then fixed the URL problems.

I do have some announcements to make, of course, the first being the most pertinent: Brawl is coming out at midnight! Anybody who didn't pre-order the game was stupid! :P Nah, I don't really mean that, of course, but it feels good knowing that you'll get the game on launch day - especially with all the hype surrounding it. And because Gamestop, finally doing something right, is holding Brawl tournaments at 2500 stores starting at 10pm tonight, the game's release is sure to be a great success (HUGE SUCCESS for all you Portal nuts).

Meanwhile, we (meaning the ZW.org current staff) are looking to expand ZW.org's staff and clear out those sysops who aren't so active anymore. This means that nominations for sysops will be open soon. We have not yet determined how many sysops we will need, but they will be community nominated and elected. If you happen to be nominated for the job, please be sure that you are willing to undertake the responsibility of moderating the wiki. It is my personal experience that those who pledge to do a job and suddenly disappear after one month don't usually get to keep that job.

Why are we doing this? The wiki is growing - incredibly fast. Actually, I don't think I've seen a site grow as fast as ZW.org in quite a while. I'm very happy, but we need to be able to handle such a burst of popularity! Ah, well - that's all for now - so tah tah, and happy editing ;)
