In honor of the 11th anniversary of the founding of the Legion of Message Board Posters, it is my privilege to make this special announcement.
Over the years there have been several projects that have attempted to catalog and help make sense out of this wonderful collaborative universe that we call the Legion of Message Board Posters. Cru did an amazing "Who's Who". Kid Marvel drew pictures himself for nearly every character. Cobalt Kid has written our history. There are a few other threads here and there that touch on it. All these folks have done an incredible amount of work and these all remain great sources.
As many of you know, in real life, I am a librarian. I've often wondered if there could be a single resource that would incorporate the hard work that has already been done and add to it, so that it could be all in one place, be easily updatable and, like the LMB itself, be a collaborative effort.
A wiki seemed the logical format. A wiki, in case you aren't familiar with it, is a Web site that is very easy to edit and update and link to other sites and pages. Wikipedia, is, of course, the most famous wiki, but there are many, many more out there.
And so I proposed to some of the other forum leaders that, following the Wikipedia model, we start an LMB Wiki.
Please feel free to register and start writing. We already have several articles started (many of which are works in progress). We ask that you keep to the same rules of conduct as we ask of you on Legion World.
Please look at some of the articles that have already been posted to see the format we are using.
Grammar and spelling will be corrected, if necessary. Factual editing may also be made, but I think it is best generally to consult with the author before such changes are made.
If you are unfamiliar with using wikis, please see The MediaWiki FAQ.
Please feel free to ask Nightcrawler or me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you all for all you have done and will do on this project. Let's have some fun with it!

As always, a huge thank you goes out to Nightcrawler for hosting the wiki and getting it off the ground!

Registered...so looking forward to writing up my entries. It will be just a little bit until I get a few things squared away with my two principle characters.

The wiki has already been a blast to play around with... I have two entries over there... one for yours truly, and another for 'big sis,' PsychoticBeaver... Thank you, Rocky and Nightcrawler for giving the LMB an even bigger playground!

I have registered as Emily Sivana. Will post tons of information on my two characters soon enough. Might link to other wikis.

Such an awesome idea, Rocky! Can't wait to do some for not only Cobie and my other characters, but some of the more general LMB people / places / important facets.
If people have questions on LMB lore or continuity in relation to your characters, please refer to the LMB history or just ask!

I think Cobie should add add those as articles as he has time.

Learn about why Sebastian loves justice and hates impunity. And yes, I am writing a fifteen page paper about Brazil.

Sharky, I read your PsychoticBeaver article and was wondering about the cononicity of my version of the incident in which Lardy shot her. I recall that at the time, you seemed to approve of the account and my take on her powers. Could you give it a reread and see how you feel about whether it should be canon? The powers I described could have been a temporary side effect of the Maddenites, if you prefer.
