[ornithologist]

I've taken the liberty of using some points to request a static copy of Wikipedia be added to the network. For those unfamiliar, Wikipedia is an exhaustive collection of factual information compiled and verified by volunteers worldwide. You might consider it a digital version of the library.

For further information, I recommend the Wikipedia article on Wikipedia.

Notable features include:
    (1) It is uneditable to maintain the integrity of the source information.
    (2) You may, however, leave comments and participate in resulting forum-like conversations.
    (3) All pages with information possibly pertaining to a resident's personal history have been removed to ensure privacy.
    (4) This is a representative snapshot of Wikipedia from our collective source worlds where that is an internet-capable Earth. I'm told it's circa 2025 CE.

I do not intend to offer assistance in utilizing this resource, but the companion bots have a digital literacy module and should be able to serve in that capacity if anyone has a need.

Comments are left open for you to discuss amongst yourselves as desired. I will not be responding.

[ ooc: Feel free to start threads here about this development, or link to a Wikipedia page and indicate what your character would leave as a comment on it! Reply to one another! Do this any time, not just in this post! Snidely link others to Wiki articles instead of answering them sometimes! Note #3 is meant to indicate that fourth-walling is impossible from this.

Also, Harold wanted to disable comments, but Aurora disabled the disabling comments feature he tried to add. :( Anyway: Merry Christmas, Etraya! ]

You could have taken the communicators out of your ears.

[taxevasion]

That's your fault. I'm not kissing them better.

Well, now it feels homophobic if I said yes.

[rowd]

No!!!

[rowd]

would have been real rough if you were considering how you're definitely not straight

[taxevasion]

WHAT is WRONG with you??

[rowd]

[taxevasion]

You don't just guess people's sexuality on the internet! At best it's weird, and at worst it's outing someone!
