Unless anyone else has a better idea, I think it's a good idea to divide the article into two main parts: TW's site and the forum.
I finally have had time this weekend to sit down and write out an outline on what I eventually plan on throwing out as my contribution as to what I think the piece about the site should look like:
Site history:
- Started by Rayn, Imposter, and Rat
- started out as tribes news site
- Grew more popular as people moved away from OGL's forums
- Demo database, scripting and mod hosting, tribe hosting
- TSN
- Became unquestioned source for tribes news when members of dynamix and sierra joined the boards
- Skin contest for T:V
- Current TW (general gaming news, digg style thing in the process)
If anyone wants to add anything to that or thinks it's not the best way to go about it, I'm all ears.
I also have a rough outline for the part about the forum, but that's a little more difficult to write. The reason is because I want whoever happens upon our little spot on wikipedia to understand what really sets this forum apart. It's not necessarily rules, but rather the atmosphere. TW feels like some weird social experiment half the time. The other forums are so cut and dry and boring. Anyway I think I can finish that part tomorrow.
