Couldn't you make it a bit more specific Fyren? Instead of making it sound like it's all bad, say that it'll be down for maintenance to improve speed before the new server comes in? At the moment it sounds like our servers suck and just to screw you all over some more we'll be taking them down intermittently! --Xasxas256 23:05, 3 November 2006 (CST)

Explain issues
In an effort to try patching our badly damaged PR, can a link be added to this message to an article named something like Server Status that outlines the issues encountered with upgrading the server, why it was delayed, and what was involved in fixing the issue? I don't have even a fraction of the details myself, and don't want to place mis-information out there - so if those with that knowledge could do this, I feel it would help towards improving the sites relations to the community. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:17, 16 November 2006 (CST)
 * We've got Server status now. My question is can we change the wording from:
 * New machine is running (and uploads have been enabled again). Please report problems using the "report a bug" link on the left.
 * To something like:
 * The new server is fully operational (and uploads have been enabled again). Please report any problems using the "Report a Bug" link on the left.
 * I prefer "server" over "machine" and on the nav bar it's written as "Report a Bug". Also "please any report problems" sounds better than ""please report problems" in my opinion, the latter sounds like we're antipating a massive barrage of problems! --Xasxas256 22:27, 16 November 2006 (CST)
 * I updated the wording using your suggested changes, as well as inserting links to the server info and report a bug page. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 12:07, 17 November 2006 (CST)

GuildWiki is changing its default font-family to serif. You can changed your personal settings to the old ways via a tutorial coming soon.
Should be: GuildWiki is changing its default font-family to serif. You can change your personal settings to the old ways via a tutorial coming soon. RT | Talk  - A joyous wintersday to all 21:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Tutorial
I'm actually not gonna do the tutorial until a few days later (busy with other stuff so no time to do indepth explainations). If anyone wants to start it, be my guest. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 21:31, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Removal
You removed it because of a lack of discussion about it, but it's already been changed --Gimmethegepgun 00:27, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * My understanding was that the original plan was to have the entire site be set as a serif. That would certainly be worthy of the fanfare of an announcement. The fact that this is not definitively occurring should mean the announcement comes down. If the announcement reads otherwise, that any changes are coming and we can expect a big todo over just the heading, is the change to the heading worth the fanfare? &mdash; ♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 00:39, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It certainly is annoying :/ --Gimmethegepgun 01:02, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Um? Let me rephrase. Do you think that the notice is necessary just to point out that we changed the heading to a serif? I'm so confused!. &mdash; ♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 01:09, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe not, but I figured it was intended to change all the font, which would be insanely annoying (and completely pointless) --Gimmethegepgun 01:12, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Restyle
 Get up-to-date on the user database integration. Read about it here. User merge completed. Your account may have been renamed, see information page for details. Happy Editing! Just for a more appealing look to it -- Shadowphoenix  08:41, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Center tags are very evil. I've nuked them. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 08:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikia user db merge notice
It's been more than a month, and they're not accepting any more user rename requests, so I say we remove the notice. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 16:21, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * They aren't? Remove then, I guess. --Shadowcrest  16:22, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
