    Well, at least this pleases my eyes alot because it serves the main purpose of an informative wikipedia: more space for the content and no disturbance of superfluous adverts :thumbup:/>

    But what really annoys me that Wikipedia can keep all the valuable work that we all put into the wiki. As you said they will propably don't find any equal substitutes who can continue the work at the same level.
    Do we resign to our work to Wikipedia though it's our intellectual property? I don't feel comfortable to leave my efforts there and the entire project goes to rack and ruin. Nevertheless Wikia claims it as their own effort and even bait new authors with words like "these are our rich of content Witcher wikis which we are proud of" And when new writers ask why the former authors left, they will definitely tell them, all authors were banned because of offense of Wikia's GTC. The reason the cummunity person told me about you which sound on first look quite criminal but actually lacks the truth :huh:/>

    This is a real pain in the neck :veryangry:/>

    All other problems I can bear and will do my best to improve the situation.

    The Witcher wiki without Game Widow :question:/> That's a no-go!

    As I'm very active on the German Witcher Wikia. I got a message from a community supporter. She informed me that Game Widow has been banned because of offense of Wikia's GTC (no further details). I was really surprised about it.
    I guess the German Witcher wiki is still at Wikia otherwise the community supporter won't contact me. She asked me to stay with the Hexer Wiki at Wikia and offered me to do everything to support the Hexer Wiki so that everyone is happy. Aha…

    The things that really gets on my nerves about Wikia:
    Blatant adverts which devour up the entire Witcher pages and spoil the layout
    Innovations and changes without talking to us authors or asking us. Ridiculous, once I got asked what I think of a perm link to Gamestar Germany but it was already a done deal. I even didn't get an answer to my reply.
    Deleting of pictures without further reason than 'offence of GTC'. There wasn't even a contact possibility to ask for reasons.

    So from all these irritations I'm quite happy with the move to curse but… :D/> there are a few points which I don't like very much. Correct me when I'm wrong.

    What happens to the original amount of content that remains at Wikia? After the move are there two versions of each Witcher wikis? Twin English, Polish, French, German, etc. Witcher wikis? Both are available to everybody to work on them.

    If the true Witcher authors continue their work on the Curse wikis, all kind of trolls can meddle in the Witcher wikis at Wikia and spoil everything. So there will be two kind of Witcher wikis: one which gets neglected at Wikia and one which grows at Curse aka one "right" and one "false" wiki.

    How do people gain the knowledge where the "right" wiki has gone, in particular new visitors of the Witcher wikis? When these people google for a Witcher Wiki or any kind of information they will probably get results for the Witcher wiki at Wikia which actually becomes more and abandoned. New visitors may then think: omg, what's that? It's useless and crap.
    And somewhere on page number *don't know / far behind* of the google results snoozes the Curse wiki but no one knows.

    uhu :welcome:/> Ich bin auch mal wieder da. So als Vollzeitbeschäftigte wird jegliche Nebenbeschäftigung im Privatleben platt gewalzt. Das bricht mir grad bei The Witcher das Herz. Aber alle Mal besser, als in der Unterkellerkategorie "Hartz IV" weiterhin ein Aussätzigendasein zu fristen.

    okay... trotz meiner kaum noch vorhandenen Freizeit hab ich mich auch beim The-Witcher.de CT Treffen angemeldet. Ich hoffe, das muss ich nicht berufsbedingt canceln :'(/> Aber im Mom sieht's noch gut aus.

    Wenn sich der Veranstaltungsort (Stand Herbst 2012?) nicht geändert hat, ist das auch für mich absolut am @rsch der Welt, da ich aus Hamburg komme. Alle Orte, die zur Auswahl standen, waren nur da unten irgendwo. Ich hab daher gar nicht abgestimmt, weil alle sinnentleert waren. Ich hab dann einfach den Ort akzeptiert, auf den die Entscheidung fiel :thumbsup:/>

    Ich hab schon an einigen CT von Gamer Communities teilgenommen und weiß, wie schwer das ist zu organisieren und dabei immer das Risiko im Nacken zu haben, dass einige Leute nicht kommen. Ich denk mal, wenn sich einige Leute die "Last" der Orgas auf die Schulter wuppen, sollte man denen auch freie Hand lassen. Wenn immer wieder was geändert werden soll, wird das CT nie was.
    Das wichtigste für mich ist: ich komme dahin und wieder weg ohne lange Strecken mit Gepäck durch die Wildnis stiefeln zu müssen.

    Datum ist September? Das ist aber nicht grad sommerlich :ice:/>
    Das passt mir nicht! Ähm, ich hab nix gesagt :sofa:/>

    I'm very excited to learn more about Cyberpunk 'cos it's a totally different century and genre. For me there was/is always CDPR = The Witcher :D because I came to know this Polish studio via The Witcher and never heard of them before.
    Now Cyberpunk, a different project than The Witcher seems so... unreal :blink:

    A lot of companies have certain rules that will make all products made under their wing indeed look 'theirs' at first glance. It's a part of the branding. ›››

    I agree, I don't like that very much. I used to recognize every game of NCsoft like Guild wars, Lineage, Aion and even Tabula Rasa and CoH/CoV... it's kind of -_- I hope Cyberpunk and The Witcher games won't suffer from the same virus.

    Das ist ja in Süddeutschland :wacko: Ich hab grad auf der Webseite der Burg Breuberg gesehen, es gibt einen BurgenBus, der sogar durch andre Gebiete zockelt. Kann man das als eine Art Linienbus / Shuttle Service / Sightseeing betrachten? Also wenn ich mich schon so weit weg bemühe, möchte ich schon einiges von der Umgebung kennen lernen :yes Mit dem BurgenBus bietet sich wohl einiges an, ohne in einer Touri Truppe festzuhängen.

    I would say... yes. Everything else is fine so far... with the exception of the warning I got this week from my boss because I spent too much time during work in the Witcher world on the net :whistle:

    Do you mean you want to post in the Greek forum the link of the translation published here? I think you can do it. When the author(s) posted the work in a forum, they made it public for everybody. Everybody who wants to read the translation can do it ;)
    You don't go against copyright law as long as you don't claim, it's your work.
    Does the forum software tell you my ...

    ... complaining about the books.
    Would it be OK if i made a post with the link? I thought about asking the members of The Witcher forum who made the translations, but some of them are not active any more, or so i think. So, i 'm asking you if posting a link in public is permitted. (I feel sorry for the poor guys, i read the translations and i am a very happy reader! )

    I get a message that says that you can't receive any new messages. :)
    Anyway, that's what i wanted to ask:
    I participate in a Greek forum of fantasy literature, and many of the members are waiting for the next translation of The Witcher saga. I have already sent three pms with a link for our topic here, with the fan translations. But i see more and more complaining about...
