• Rtil 15:22, 25 February 2008 (CST) Anipedia has been being hit very hard by spam the past few weeks. I've written some code for wikimedia's built-in anti-spam feature to help stop these attacks. So far it seems to be working. But if you see any unreverted spam, delete it! And make sure to save any legitimate content on the page if there was any to begin with. Thanks.
• Rtil 19:34, 18 February 2008 (CST) : The site has been receiving a lot of traffic since the beginning of 2008, mostly due to the very popular Flash extensions page. But people have also been writing a lot of tutorials, like MrChocobo, and of course myself. More and more people every day have been able to use Anipedia as a resource to better their animation, and it's all thanks to you guys. Keep writing and keep reading!
• Rtil 12:25, 24 November 2007 (CST) : The templates are up! Go to the focus page and check out the Flash and Animation Tutorial templates and start writing. :)
• Rtil 19:39, 23 November 2007 (CST) : The votes are in and over half of you out of 174 votes (as of right now) want me to develop templates for the animation tutorials and FAQ section. It will take me some time, but when it's ready i'll announce it on NG, DA, SA and my site to bring everyone back in to start working again. If you want to help develop templates, please let me know. It's not easy to do it alone.
• Rtil 02:04, 30 October 2007 (CDT) : Added news section. Beginning to create templates for the new focus of Anipedia - Flash functionality and tutorials. That seemed to be what most people wanted to write about, so once I announce it publicly we should get another surge of fresh articles and users. Get ready!
