Hyper on Wikipedia

[Eliot Fish]

Hello lovely Hyper folk,
have you seen how lame this is?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper_(magazine)
Took a look today and was sad to see that such a great magazine with such a long history had a wiki entry the size of the nutrition information of a water bottle.
If I had time I would totally do some updating of my own, but I thought I'd bring it to the Hyper forum's attention and say "GO FORTH AND UPDATE"! At least to get one of Malky's awesome covers up there. From 1993/4 to 2009, I think there's a lot of cool things this entry could have in it.
Okay, bye now! Hope everyone's still diggin on the mag.
Eliot
P.S. If anyone cares what I do these days... I'm working behind the scenes on the ABC's Good Game. Watch us every monday at 8:30pm on ABC2!

I seem to recall that page being updated in the past and a bunch of people got banned, or am I thinking of some other wiki...

[Lazlow]

Let's just say the Hyper wiki used to be a rather extensive account of both the magazine and associated forum's history... then some people took it a little too far. Bannings were issued a shit storm erupted and the community splintered.

So I wouldn't suggest you trust us to look after it again. :P

[AranchineD]

Actually the entry used to be about 5 times the size it is now, but 'someone' went and edited it all down to what it is now.

[JimmyKane]

UYAC needs a wiki.

[Watchers]

It seems to me that if that was really Eliot, it wouldn't be such a poorly laid out post. I could be wrong... >_>

I don't think Dramatica counts.

A few Hyperians did work on a Wikipedia page at one point, but the Wikipedians caught on and excised all the forums crap for lack of notability. Shitstorm erupted, someone from here started harassing a user from over there, etc.
End result, since everyone here was having a tanty over not being notable enough, and speculating that the editors we pissed off were probably from WP:VG (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VG), nobody gave a shit about the page anymore.

Sometime after, Jubei posted the ED Hyper article and linked it here with a heading along the lines of "we're finally in a wiki" for a milestone or something.

[Lazlow]

Thaaaaaaaat's right.

Forgot it was ED. Oh well.

[SOX]

Could someone link me that website? I have nfi what you guys are talking about

[Fenrir]

Sure friend, it's http://encyclopediadra- oh no you don't. >_>

nfi who did it, but I remember stumbling upon the edit diff (http://www.hyper.com.au/forums/showthread.php?p=1112828#post1112828).

Here's a history of editors to add to it

Stuart Clarke
Dan Toose
Eliot Fish
Cam Shea
Daniel Wilks
Jickle

[aubergine]

I also have been an editor of the magazine.

By cutting pages up and glueing them into a strange tome I keep in a small temple in my basement.

The dramatica page is hilarious by the way, but some very grotesque images that can't be unseen, regardless of how many times you chant "photoshopped, photoshopped" to yourself.

I'm sad I don't get a mention there.

[texta]

So basically Eliot makes a forum account just so he can get people to add his name onto the wiki page. That's excellent.

He must like to plan ahead!

[JubeiSaotome]

As far as I know there's been many an attempt to get Hyper magazine and forums on Wikipedia properly, but Wikipedia's biased and socially retarded moderators have reverted every attempt.

Hyper Wiki Bans was on Encyclopedia Dramatica.

[Super Mario]

Can someone link to the ED page please?

[Eliot Fish]

Something tells me I opened a can of worms...

[Stevorooni]

To be fair you probably could have posted "Hey how's it going, nice weather we've been having" and it would have opened a can of worms at this place

I can't believe someone thinks those images are *that bad*...

To be perfectly honest, we covered you in an actual thread on MJ (before the transition to UYAC) with a good level of mature discussion between the previously outcast (i.e., BANHAMMERED) members and most of the current/previous mods.

The ED article was written between June and October of last year (hence, nothing more recent has been added).

[TAT]

"Hey how's it going, nice weather we've been having"
What business is it of yours what the weather is like?!

[Lex]

Does it really matter? Nothing interesting happens here.

[Antwandemarco]

Oh Lex, so surly and lazy

[aubergine]

You'll have to suck it up and finally learn to use a search engine, sorry.

I never looked at MJ sadly so missed all those good times.

Oh, we know all about that (http://www.hyper.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=19665) show (http://www.hyper.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=19639)... :p

It's cool. I saved the thread in archive form.

Next time the forum gets hacked I'll pass it around.

This is why we can't have nice things!

[The Moe]

No, it really was him - and I know this because I was there when he posted it.

I agree though, Hyper needs a more respectable Wiki. A particular mention of notable deputy editors would be nice (actually, I kid - it does need some love though).

[AranchineD]

Hot damn, we're bringing everyone back from the crypt now aren't we!

[Stevorooni]

Hot damn, we're bringing everyone back from the crypt now aren't we!

I won't be impressed until Adzy appears.

[aubergine]

Let us then have a copy put here of what it SHOULD (a serious version) and then we can have teams putting it up as fast as it comes down until it sticks.

[JimmyKane]

Just saw the Hyper ED article.

Good stuff.

[Jickle]

I used to be on that Wiki page. Now, I'm not. This is indeed a sad day.

[Super Mario]

Just saw the Hyper ED article.

Good stuff.

What was The Captain thinking when he posted that?

[sausage]

Just saw the Hyper ED article.

Good stuff.

I concur.

[Xanafalgue]

The website has hosted an internet forum since 1996 that serves as a link between editors and readers of the magazine.

Really? All I remember was a bright orange abomination of a website that wasn't updated for a billion years.

I prefer the ED entry.

[TAT]

What was The Captain thinking when he posted that?
I don't know, why don't you ask him?

[Fenrir]

Pretty much what Lex said: nothing notable happens here, ever.

As far as I know there's been many an attempt to get Hyper magazine and forums on Wikipedia properly, but Wikipedia's biased and socially retarded moderators have reverted every attempt.
You're not completely serious on this one, are you? Most of the culled material in the Wikipedia page's revision history is shit, and the forum's page was worse. I'm not sure what being "socially retarded" has to do with anything, either, Wikipedia isn't a friggin' blog.

Really?
^This, as a rhetorical question. Editors don't tend to spend much time here, forumers don't tend to spend much time talking about the magazine.

[JimmyKane]

What was The Captain thinking when he posted that?

Dunno, but it was pretty hot.

[aubergine]

I used to pursue a monthly explanation of why Daniel Staines Is Always Wrong when he was doing an opinion page, until he was replaced by colourless Seamus Byrne.

If anyone knows that guy in Germany who insists on deleting our covers due to "copyright violation", please tell him to stop. That'd be grand.

[JubeiSaotome]

This is what I meant with my comment. The wiki mods have no idea what they're doing.

[Serenity]

From what I read on Twitter a little while back it seems Tracey's been doing a lot of work on the page. It's a lot better than what it was.

i miss the Eliot fish and Cam Shea days of hyper :(

You'll be glad to know that Dan Staines is once again writing a feature column for Hyper. :p

Unless it was just a one-off...

[JubeiSaotome]

I miss the 90's Hyper. As much as the art department left much to be desired. The times have changed, though.

[Serenity]

i miss the Eliot fish and Cam Shea days of hyper :(

I'm of the opinion Cam tried way too hard to make it more humorous, see *does mannerism*. Eliot struck the balance much better.

[JimmyKane]

I was one of the douchebags who giggled everytime I saw TEKKEN AMOS CRATE*dm* EVILMALKY

:cool:

Then again, I was 11 or something.

[dinopoke]

BLAU! caps

I agree, was a bit forced.

[JimmyKane]

BLAU! caps

There's that one what I forgot.

[concrete donkey]

hahah, good times

[Spudzilla]

Not really

[Serenity]

There's that one what I forgot.

Blau was around way before Cam, I'm fairly sure.

[Lazlow]

Indeed, its at least been around since the Duden Handbook was first published in 1880.

[Serenity]

So THAT'S where I saw it!

[AranchineD]

Then again, I was 11 or something.

So, what, last week then? (1)

[RunningMild]

There's that one what I forgot.

You also forgot the Ghost of David Wildgoose. :rolleyes:

[JimmyKane]

So, what, last week then? (1)

Just you wait, I'm so gonna lose my v plates before you.

[AranchineD]

Probably.







:psyduck:

[JimmyKane]

I should probably use that trump card less BUT
