[edit] 7/31/2008 -- Okay to Hotlink Images
Just wanted to let everyone know that you can feel free to hotlink images from forum signatures or your website or wherever. Note that a stamp will be added to the image. Free images for you, free advertising for us. :)
[edit] 7/31/2008 -- First End
I've got the First End novel on order, so I'll be putting up a synopsis and review of it as soon as I get a chance, as well as expanding on character pages if need be.
[edit] 7/25/2008 -- Google Update
Looks like GoogleBot finally crawled the site and updated the search listing. Hopefully that means we'll be bringing in some more traffic. If you're new here and this site looks like something you'd like to participate in, check out the Help Wanted section (below) for some suggestions.
[edit] 7/21/2008 -- EasyTimeline
I added MediaWiki's EasyTimeline extension. If you're feeling motivated to add a timeline, you can read all about it here. Check out the Sandbox page for an example chart.
[edit] 7/20/2008 -- Skuld Updates
I updated Skuld's page to reflect some recent developments in the manga. In particular, check out this image.
[edit] 7/19/2008 -- Belldandy Updates
I made a bunch of major updates to Belldandy's page (check out the change to the character evolution pic, for instance). I also updated the title image and created (by request) a Spanish language version of the wiki.
[edit] 7/17/2008 -- Faster Server
I moved the site to another (faster) server and cleaned out the vast majority of the remaining spam. Unfortunately the spam cleanup probably also deleted some valid page history, but as far as I can tell all of the pages exist in their most current form. If you discover that something important has gone missing, I have a backup of the old database and can extract the data from it. Drop me a line on my talk page if this is necessary.
[edit] 7/15/2008 -- We're Back! -- Help Wanted!
Having recovered from a huge crash that came about after being inundated with about 700 megabytes of spam, the OMG Wiki has been resurrected and (mostly) cleaned up. I also upgraded to a version of MediaWiki that was written after the paleolithic era and installed a captcha to stop spambots (sorry, legit users, I hate captchas with a passion, but it seems you can't live without them nowadays). You only have to use the captcha when you do an anonymous edit or register for an account -- registered users are fine.
Anyway, I don't have the kind of time that I used to, so I'm looking for some volunteers who would be willing to do some writing or just patrol the site occasionally to make sure we don't end up with another spam problem. If you're interested, drop me a line on my talk page or send me an IM (I'm NerfViking on AIM and MSN) and we'll chat. I may also set up a small forum if there's sufficient interest.
10/08/2006 - Congratulations to 500.000 page views! Reaching half a million page views is quite an achievement for a small wiki like ours. I want to thank all readers and contributers for their efforts and hope we can keep the good work up. --Emq
04/25/2006 - Due to a recent server crash, we had to revert to a backup that was current as of February 9th of this year. We're also (temporarily) running an older version of the wiki software, which is able to read the old database backup. I'll upgrade again as soon as I can. I am very sorry for all of the lost time and effort people have put in over the last two months. I'm creating a weekly script that will email me backups so we won't lose as much content if there's another hard drive failure.
07/30/2005 - Our DNS issues have (finally) been fixed, which means the site will no longer refuse connections at random. It may take a day or so for the fixes to propagate. Please (mail inclusion currently not working, please use the talk page or forum) if you find yourself unable to get to the site after August 1st. In other news, thanks to Love a Riddle, Emq, and numerous other contributors, our content has grown very quickly over the past few months.
06/25/2005 - Current Events has been updated, as well as the episode list for the TV series.
04/16/2005 - Mara and Peorth now have articles thanks entierly to the efforts of Love a Riddle, who incidentally is the webmaster of Open Your Mind. For a complete list of updates, check Recent changes on the navigation panel to the far left.
04/15/2005 - Added some nice, high-quality screen captures to the TV Episode 2 page. Check them out!
04/15/2005 - Added a Current events page, which you can access from the navigation panel on the far left. There's not much to it at the moment; I don't have any current manga or fanfiction info, so I could use some help filling it in. Just a few sentences would be handy.
04/15/2005 - Happy Tax Day! I added the synopsis and analysis for TV Episode 2. No screenshots yet (for either the first or the second episode), but I'll try and post them soon.
04/14/2005 - Took some movie screenshots from the DVD and added those to the Movie page.
04/13/2005 - Another quick update... I added a FAQs section. Right now there are no questions in it, and it's up to you, the reader, to ask them. If you have a question you want to ask (either about Oh My Goddess! or this website), hop on over to the FAQ and type it in. I'll try to get it answered ASAP. Also note the new Contribute section on the left. If you feel up to it, try adding content to a stub or writing a wanted page.
04/13/2005 - Quick update, since I'm pretty busy this morning. I added Open Your Mind to the links page.
04/11/2005 - Added the images to Skuld's page, as well as the Links page. I added the title image to the Movie page, but the rest of the screenshots are so horrid they'll have to be redone (they're from a very early copy of the movie, which was videotaped in a theatre... I've got the DVD now).
04/10/2005 - Uploaded the images to Urd's page. Also added a small links page. Looks like I'm gonna have to try and do several TV analyses a week if I'm going to catch up.
04/08/2005 - Added a synopsis of the first TV Episode, as well as some analysis thereof. Now I'm going to try and get some sleep.
04/08/2005 - After a server move and some DNS trouble, we're officially back online, and (hopefully) better than ever! I've started converting the old content to wiki format... Right now, Keiichi and Belldandy's pages are moved over including images; the rest are text only at the moment. So, check it out, and enjoy the new site!
04/04/2005 - If you're seeing this page, then you managed to stumble upon it by accident (or perhaps on purpose?). This wiki isn't officially up yet.
