Title: FOTPedia back online!!!

After hours of grueling, backbreaking work I have resurrected FOTpedia from the dead!

Special thanks to Omar and Sparkiepop for the help!

As of now it's all of the older content but I think it will start getting filled in with recent show material soon enough. If you had an old account, you will have to sign-up again, and if you're a power contributor (you know who you are) I'll keep an eye out and give you admin so you can clean up riff-raff if you feel so inclined. The images didn't make it over, so you may see some broken image links here and there.

Maybe nobody else is as excited about that as I am, but I thought you'd all want to know.

As always, Tom, if this runs afoul, you've but to ask and I'll drop it.

Amazing, I would liken this effort to the creation of the Steve Guttenberg press. Excellent work, this is Best Show Enthusiasm top tier reward level stuff.

It's every man's fontasy! Awesome.

I'm a couple weeks behind on updating it, but here's the Unofficial Newbridge Family Tree.

I'm reasonably confident in its comprehensiveness and I think it'll make a fine resource for filling in the blanks of the lives of Newbridge's citizenry.

Very cool!  I was hoping to start a wiki for the show, myself, not being too thrilled with the one I saw which seemed to not have too much and was also more subjective than it probably should have been.  Still, I jumped right to the W page on this, and Wally's link is red.  I'm not sure what more to say after that, without coming off like some people view me/Wally, when I'm kinda just faux-egotistically joking around.  I hope he gets a proper entry, either way.  Nice work!

Zach, you should pull a Ball of Fire and make your own encyclopedia, one that will give Wally his due ...

Just went back to this.  Maybe I should have been quiet, and no entry was better than what's there for now.  Even when I re-listened to that show, I wouldn't call it "losing his marbles".  Wally was just tired of having people put him down and became a little vocal about it.  He didn't climb a clock-tower with a sniper rifle or something crazy like that.
