Wiki Research

[Ransom]

Pertaining to the last topic, on accident, I discovered this topic. I forgot about it, but heres a good indicator of most of the older gangs that set off and made it or did not make it. That topic used to be a rule, that all gangs would post their rosters to it and update them (silly, i know).

I'd like to see the wikipedia information about history be much more informative... at its current state its a bare minimum. Links to past videos and etc would be nice for example. I dunno if anyone has the old tv-phone conversation with cray http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?p=37931

Check it out, im making alot of additions.

Also, see http://mtavc.com/history.php for information.

I will ask Blokker to disable his blocking (lol) of http://www.internetarchive.org so we can research and possbily gather otherwise lost history.

I'll help since I first asked about the whole Gang history of MTA.

[Ransom]

Theres been some disagreement by zircon about most of it and others the amount of content. So Im forced to make a full history elsewhere. Probably on the mta wiki. This is a more suitable place though.

[Vicer/Spitfire]

A link should be placed on the MTA Wikipedia page about the original gangs, etc.

Haveing a page explaining about the "Original Gangs" sounds like a controversal subject, why not explain what it would be like for any gang back in the day to be playing on MTA.

[Vicer/Spitfire]

Well maybe, but we're trying to give credit to the original gangs who appeared back in 2003, and steered the way for other MTA gangs to appear afterwards. As Ransom said in another topic, 'they are the pioneers'.

Sounds good to me.

Ransom, is this gonna be a hard thing to do? This was awhile back and it might be hard to get the info. (or is it?)

[Zircon]

I believe we've been over this.

No one's intention should be to list the "original gangs," or "pioneer gangs," or whatever you want to call them. A chronological listing would be a perfectly unbiased and fair way to go about it. Otherwise, we are going to have some conflicting views with the way it's presented.

Like I said, it's impossible to draw the line between the "original gangs" and all of the others that appeared afterwards. You might say the cut-off point is 2003. I could say six months to a year later. It's simply a matter of opinion, and that doesn't belong in something that should be factual.

[orappa]

Agreed. Post the start dates and let people decide for themselves.

I made a nice addition to the discussion page.
