 I actually do realize that; I just don't want even the chance that my stuff will end up in that format (and I find the notes about 'personal webspace' to be somewhat fitting).  I have all my charms on my hard drive.  You can consider their removal to be a very vocal vote against this idea.  If we end up not doing this and things remain in some format that I can deal with, rest assured, I will most likely laborously and painstakingly put them back up.  Most of them are still in wiki format, so it probably won't even take that long.

-Dave, a few things. First, you're simply wrong about the matter of copyright as it relates to this Wiki. First, the author of a derivative work does hold copyright on it, as it is still a unique creative entity. Because it does technically infringe on someone else's copyright, their ability to distribute it is limited by what the copyright holder of the work it is derived from will allow -- but they do still own the content. Secondly, nothing on this Wiki is public domain. In the United States and all other signatories of the Berne convention, all creative works are automatically copyrighted at the moment they are created -- filing for copyright or mailing a copy to yourself is helpful for documentation, but not necessary. And the only way that copyright can be yielded is through <i>explicit</i> statement of the author -- an implicit disclaimer like that on this site is simply ineffectual. (See [[http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html these copyright myths]] for more information.)

 Secondly: I think your approach here does a massive disservice to the [[ExaltedWiki]] community. What you have here is a unique, evolved community whose members are devoted almost entirely to helping one another, friendly discussion, and mutual aid. Let me list some of the things that this community hosts that any closed website couldn't possibly do:

 We can always take pages from things like the original wiki. C2. The problem that [[ExaltedWiki]] seems to stem from a few problems, most of which can be traced back to my laziness in not educating people early:
 # People not [[ReFactoring]] [[ThreadMode]] pages. Once a page is done, all the "comments" should be summed up and the page should be presented as a total, summarized whole. This is always an ongoing process, since few pages in the wiki ever "die".
-# People making little [[WalledGardens]] where they hide their stuff instead of placing them in well known community points. This is one of the real evils of having subdomain (a.k.a. "Slash") pages. [[TelgarPrettyWikiProject/PastComments/Charms]] is a bad thing. Instead, charms should be in [[SolarResistanceCharms]] with further categorization as necessary. Instead of keeping everyone's work separate, they should all go in common places and then simply have an [[AuthorName]].

-I agree that the Wiki is foundering badly in regards to navigability, thus the [[PrettyWikiProject]]. But I can't really see how to resolved the Walled Garden Syndrome without taking, say, [[SolarArchery]] and turning it into some HUGE list of Charms on one page with headers preceding each person's contributions. This will, inevitably, lead to overloading some poor browser or making the wiki take so long to load that newbies won't want to hang around. So, what exactly are we proposing in place of our Walled Gardens? Huge listy pages? Or simply a more inter-linked version of what we have under [[ImportantLinks]] where under [[SolarArchery]] we have each contributor's Charms on a seperate subpage and then links back to the contributors?

-I'm not sure. This wiki faces a unique challenge in that regard. Most wikis do not do things like charms and whatnot. My first suggestion is to subdivide charms by ability. We do that already. Then, alphabetize. This should provide enough subdivisions. This is one of the cases where "/" pages work well. [[SolarArcheryPrettyWikiProject/PastComments/A]] isn't bad. Then, on people's homepages, you can mention which charms you like, etc.

I feel more trepidatious about modifying [[TelgarPrettyWikiProject/PastComments/SolarArchery]] (it's in your [[UserPage]]) than I do about modifying [[SolarArcheryPrettyWikiProject/PastComments/B]].

 Wiki content isn't set in stone, and if you want to publish an immutable set of charms that only you can change, the wiki doesn't give you much garuntee of this. A [[RealHomePage]] is probably better for that task.
