I followed your link.
Why does the page have to look like it has faded in the sun, I know my
eyes are not what they were being on the cusp of becoming an
octogenarian.
Nor have I ever understood why your Wiki down beyond adventures.

Why faded ? Not sure what you mean - that is someone's design for the
site - I like it - but if you have another design you would prefer for
the Wiki, then please feel free to offer a suggestion (although you will
need to skin the site as I don't have time). I was just grateful that
someone was willing and had the time to propose a design which looks nice.
The text is black on white, so it does not affect anything or am I
missing something?
As for "why your Wiki down beyond adventures" - not sure what you mean here!
If you mean why it is hosted on www.rwapadventures.com - that's simple -
I don't want to have to pay for yet another domain name.
I am fed up with people criticising the Wiki - all I ever hear is back
handed comments about 'but there is no information about xxxx' or 'why
don't you include this or this'.....
Let's face it - the Wiki is supposed to be for the whole QL community -
ideally it would have its own domain (maybe sinclairql.com or similar)
and lots of people would be adding and updating information on the Wiki
As it stands about 95% of the information has been added by me, maybe 3%
by Dilwyn and 2% by Urs Koenig
It would seem the QL community is not bothered about trying to improve
the amount of information about the QL on the web.
People need to contribute - this was just a project I started to try and
address the critics of the QL, who say openly on the web that there were
no games, it was only a business machine, and that it died in the 80s.
The point is simple - IF YOU WANT THE WIKI TO BE BETTER / DIFFERENT /
HOSTED SOMEWHERE, THEN CHANGE IT !!
