Is there any update or info on the ARC Wiki? I only ask because there was a great article for newbies starting out and I would love to atleast get that info off the other server if possible. Thanks to the mods and all the hours they volunteer for the club.
Not yet, although I'm working on Loren to revisit it. I agree- it'd be great for a number of things, including member's tanks, instead of using threads and what not...

Thanks for the update! Is there any way to get the wiki back on the website and import the rest later?
Unfortunately, when we switched servers about 6 months ago, your bonehead administrator (me) didn't make a good backup of all the databases, notably the wiki database.
We're separating things on the backend between mods and administrators, and in an effort to kickstart some of that, I'm hoping Loren will take the wiki on as some custom site development. :)

I'm looking into it. It's not going to be until after the holiday until I make some movement on this.

Ok Great. I mainly want this for the mentor program that Jin is implementing. It would be great to be able to either post links to a problem they have or copy and paste it into a pm. I know alot of people will ask about water, so I wanna have a little basic write up about TDS and explaining RO DI. Then have another one for how to start a tank....and so on. Then the mentors will basically be compiling a "how to guide" from all the questions we get from new members along with having a compilation of all the mentors info. This way even if one doesnt know the answer, they can probably pull it up from info someone else wrote up. Eventually our wiki would be the ultimate reefers guide. :) That would be really cool to accomplish IMO.

Good thinking!!!
I agree 100% - that was my original idea for the wiki. We just need to get it rolling, and hopefully members will start to help maintaining it. Maybe we need a couple free frag giveaways to wiki article contributors!

I think I could convince the mentor crew to start compiling answers to FAQs on there.
