The best time to start archiving was 30 weeks ago, and the second best time is now. Waiting only creates more work for you, so you best start immediately. The endless nature of archival means this will be a long-term project, and it will only cease once you lose interest.

Never assume that someone else is already archiving or will archive for you. As with many things in life, if you want something to occur, then you must be the change you want to see. No one else will hold the same interests or level of passion as you do.
On the topic of wikis, I wish the Soysylum got more attention. It never took off because it focused exclusively on fiction versus Soyjak Wiki focusing on both Soyjaks (fiction) and documenting their use on the Internet (non-fiction), and fiction is inherently more difficult to write than documenting non-fiction. Soysylum was also never really advertised, so no one ever knew about it even after it was placed on the top bar alongside the Dailyjak (still active).

The main Soysylum admin there seems to have left the Soysphere, but I believe the pages there should still be preserved. Perhaps cloning the pages onto Soyjak Wiki will bring more attention to the Mental Asylum stories and fulfill the goals that the Soysylum site sought out to achieve.

I would clone pages if I had time, but personal responsibilities are of utmost importance. Perhaps, someone else reading this, with more time than me, might be interested in preserving the Soysylum.

I have decided, read here.​

A troubling thought​

It's 3:45 AM, I can't sleep and I'm bored. Sometimes I think about this site and all that's happened, how far we've come, the users who've come and go, and as I think to myself, I can't help but wonder about the state of our wiki page on soyjak.wiki. You see, soyjak.wiki is a wiki primarily for the sharty, we've mostly just been treated as unimportant, like the users that've been here aren't worthy of being documented, or aren't worthy of having a wiki page. Sparkles has her own wiki page, but terrycrews doesn't, nor do I.

Which is why I'm considering making one of two things:
  • Soygoy's Expeditions: An extensive documentive history into every user and event on soyjak.blog
  • Schlog.wiki: a Wiki site primarily for the schlog / shlog and for the schlog / shlog only.
I'm leaning towards a Soygoy's Expeditions type thing however, something that's readable like a wiki, but unofficial, perhaps.
The main philosophy behind creating a wiki for the schlog would be as follows:
  1. No sense of importancy, every user with more than 1,000 messages should have their own wiki page, no matter how interesting they are, they deserve to be documented. Like Fortuna for example.
  2. Easy access to events regarding users or interesting quotes from a user, things a user said, stuff like "Steve joined on date_here" with info on how he progressed during his stay, etc.
  3. Archiving the events of the site in a way that's easy for newcomers to read and enjoyable to read, write and document.
My main issues with the current wiki is that it feels as if we can't or shouldn't make pages about these things, admins on there get into fights all the time and can't remain unbiased and I suppose that's a part of the fun of a wiki, but I'm more interested in the history. If I were to make a page about Fortuna on soyjak.wiki people would say "This is a literal who, it's not soy culture" and they'd be right, but it is schlog history.

Every person, every banned user even, should be documented. As you know, I have all these folders on you people and its not as if I never intended to use it for anything. I'll exclude sensitive info like Swede's literal fucking address, but I feel like these things deserve to be remembered. So, I'm wondering what to do on this matter, or rather what you think I should do.

Choices​

A: Make a new category on soyjak.wiki that only applies to the Schlog o algo (Pages would be like soyjak.blog/princessparkles and soyjak.blog/Steve etc.) Only issue is that it could be prone to vandalism, history exists and jannies can revert it but I'd rather like to just write something once and then forget about it, not have to worry about it.
B: Create my own documentation of users and just keep it as some sort of expedition journal of my adventures while using the site, host it on my website o algo soydiaries.s5s5s5.com o algo
C: Create an entirely new wiki site for the schlog only and make it extremely focused on the history, not on starting edit wars and vandalism, so only trusted users could make posts, or people can make changes but they just have to be approved o algo.

I feel like the more this site progresses, the more important this matter will become, especially seeing that we're starting to get notable users like MoonMetropolis joining and I like documenting history on people, especially the banned users like acro who's posts will be harder to find because his name was changed and you'll have to find his journal to get his profile number and username so then you can look at his old messages o algo.

Side-note about making a category on the shwiki​

The wiki goes down all of the time and I hate that, I want to make a source of documentation that's well written and easy to access at any time, not a shitfest thats down right now.

Conclusion​

But what do you guys think?
I could also make videos, similar to Wallaby's Archive, but for specific users, like Steve, sparkles, baqqrih, Fortuna, Hagon, etc. Using their first messages and how they acted as footnotes and bits to help the stories. I think it's a shame we don't have access to an archive of profile pictures however. Certain events like my neutralplier arc will be hard to document due to the old pfp not showing.

Shit that will never happen and if it does happen will be coal award
 
Um. Isn't it just possible to make some sort of subcategory on the soyjak wiki for this.
