I like this.  HOWEVER, I think posting them willy-nilly in a thread is not the best idea.  Perhaps a wiki or blog should be set up, and users could submit through an email account or PM?  I can contribute.

HOWEVER, I think posting them willy-nilly in a thread is not the best idea.

Agreed. I started this thread just to get the ball rolling.

Unfortunately, I am pretty ignorant when it comes to computer stuff, so the wiki/blog idea (which I think is great) is up to people who are more knowledgeable than I am.

[yesno]

Put it on the wiki.

Also, revive the Wiki.  Actually, no, these Buffcoat (and now Matt!)-type projects seem more useful.

Another crazy FOT project would be to import the old YABB message boards (/board and /newboard) into the current SMF board.  There are scripts to do this.  There's some good FOT trivia in there.  With the three different message boards, the Omar recaps, as well as the random stuff that's on the wiki, on friendsoftom.com, and on and on, there's like this huge mass of Best Show secondary material.

[yesno]

Also, I'm starting a project to transcribe each Best Show, court reporter style.

I am also tracking down every caller ever, to do a "Where are they now?" interview.

[Jouster]

The current wiki seems to be beyond redemption.  I say burn it down and start anew if it can't be brought back to life.

[Martin]

I agree with Jouster!

[yesno]

I think that the Wiki format makes a lot of sense in that it allows collaborative editing, but it would be a lot more realistic and useful to only have a few different pages with lists of characters, trivia, playlists, and that sort of thing, instead of trying to make an "encyclopedia of the Best Show."  The Fotpedia was a great idea, and there's a lot of great stuff in there, though, but it just required too much upkeep.

Such a wiki would also be a good home for a lot of the artwork entries or winners, and the sorts of things that need to be somewhere other than just buried in some thread.  The Buffcoat, Martin and Omar material could be crossposted.

I had to totally rearrange someone's wiki they were trying to get going, because they had just made it way, way too complicated, when there really only needed to be a couple of different main pages.  You can put more than one thing on one page, is what I'm saying.

I plan to do the 2006 playlists since I already have a lot of them documented in my notes for the recaps.  The same is true of 2007-present, but I'll start with 2006 for now. 

I support the full return of the FOTpedia as a collaborative wiki.

Omar, what do you do for a living?  Besides rock harder than all mankind, of course?

This track is by the King Brothers, but I don't have a song title or album
This one is a mystery
As is this

From December 5, 2000

Can anyone help?
