[edit] New Sports Wiki
Hey BigEast44, me and a couple of buddies (all from New York) started this new sport-wiki, http://www.armchairgm.com, which combines blogs, news, voting, with the power of Mediawiki's (Wikipedia's) wiki engine.
I noticed that you are a Yanks and Niners fan (tough year), so I thought you would be interested. When you have the chance, check out the site. We would love for you to join our community.

[edit] Your userboxes
Because of the current campaign against userboxes, it's pretty likely that many of your boxes are going to get deleted from their template space soon (especially your Flying Spaghetti Monsterism box, but in general, any boxes that could be considered to express a point of view someone might disagree with). These templates will very likely be deleted in the next week or two. The best (and really, only) way to protect those userboxes is to perform a "substitute" command on each one of them, which will put the code directly into your page, instead of calling on the template every time your page is loaded. That way, when the template is deleted, it has no effect on the code resident on your page.
In order to do this, go into your user page, and wherever you have a template, insert "subst" inside the brackets. So,
{{template name}} becomes {{subst:template name}}
and your userboxes will all take up residence on your page. Sometimes this makes the formatting funky, and will require some tweaking in the code to restore the layout of your boxes as they were before. If you have any questions about this, please drop me a line. Regards, JDoorjam Talk 23:14, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
