Membership and Affiliate Requests / Re: Glitch City Laboratories (Join/Affiliation Request)

« on: October 31, 2010, 07:19:34 PM »

I took a look, and ran into an error message while going to a Random Page, and while trying to access the Special Pages.

as really, really bad as its going to sound i legitimately forgot to mention that, yes, there are occasional problems with the server, but nothing that really impedes browsing all that much as most of the time they're occasional but it does have its bad days (I did say it was going to sound bad but I honestly never meant to omit that .)

e: good god I'm having a load of memory problems today, but alongside that its notable that there are going to be fixes and all that stuff later on after the release of SMF 2.0 when wiki-forum integration and other things like that are going on, so we're not technically in the final stage of development.

Due to the lack of a response after an attempt at email contact, we figured it'd be more lucrative to instead post a request on the forums rather than continue waiting.

But onto the matter at hand; I am here today as a representative of Glitch City Laboratories, an independent website and wiki that finds its subject matter within the in-depth study and recording of information regarding glitches, quirks and assorted programming errors of, primarily, the Pokemon series of video games (although we also, at the present, record the same on other series of video games, and not just strictly Nintendo titles.)

An important article of note is that we are considered -the- authority on glitches in the Pokemon games, backing this is the fact that we have several databases full of information on the assorted glitches in the games, for example the GlitchDex, documenting all of the glitch Pokemon and their relevant information, the aptly-named Item and AttackDexes, and the yet-to-be-added information regarding the 65,000+ "Decamarks" or glitch Pokemon found in the third generation.

As such, we are used as citation for more important glitch-related articles on places such as Bulbapedia (for example citing parts of our research here and an entire article based on one of our discoveries here and an article referring to the Decamarks themselves here)

On the forums, there has been discussion as to whether or not our website would be applicable for becoming a part of NIWA, and as such we wish to find out whether or not we would be accepted for a membership or affiliation with NIWA.

Currently, we have 257 articles (page indexes for quick viewing located here and here) dealing with this subject matter and still growing, and we hope that NIWA will be able to further assist us in both the gathering of this information and, subsequently, in the growth of the site itself.

We do hope you will take us into consideration and we thank you for your time.

e: okay so as I somehow completely forgot to mention the server does have its occasional errors because the wiki has a memory cap in place to prevent the entire server from going down.
