I found this site on the Wikipedia Forum software comparisons, or is that not related to the subject of this thread?

the punbb entry got deleted too. check this out.

wikipedia is apparently raising the standards on notability. this sucks because i used to rely on wikipedia lists for a comprehensive market search.

yeah same. this does suck. I can understand the non-notability of ttf more so (it's live on what, three or so sites?) than that of punbb.

"Delete per nom, this is a non-notable forum software which has not received significant coverage from independent sources. "

No, it's not.
There is just a small but very active group of people who have a "vision" of what wikipedia should be and delete everything that's not conforming to that.

The wikipedia community is rotten (Not just because of this btw.)

this sucks because that's how people find ttf--almost solely through wikipedia.

i don't think i can at this point. whatever. the article's notability was questionable--ttf has only gotten a few short mentions on various websites.

"Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material.


(wikipedia)

while the sources don't say much about ttf, there isn't much to say about it. they may be seen as trivial, but being listed by a handful of people as in the top twenty of web forum software is non-trivial to me.

i do like this one:

think tank forums
There are many forums on the web, some good, some not so good. IMHO, think tank forums are amongst the best. They are clean, simple and very easy to use. Good stuff.

can't you just edit it and put it back up? and make note of these different sources of coverage?

yeah. i just wish i could revert it, but i can't. all-out deletes suck. i'll write it up later today, then.

also a nice, fair review:

This board is fast, and very usable. It's driven by functionality and utility. The form fits the quality of the functionality. There is little documentation, but it should be reasonably clear to an experienced php/mysql administrator. I feel that the only downside is that the forum may not scale well with many users on larger boards.

you should make ttfproject.com redirect to your projects page for ttf or the google code page or something.

Deleted, disputed, restored, deleted by another zealot again.

Never mind this was one of the most advanced games of it's time and even though it was never very well known it influenced many later games.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoo has a zealot community of it's own, so that page stays.

Wikipedia sucks.

done!

www.ttfproject.com

this domain expires on 18-march-2010, at which point piranha-squatters can waste their money on it.

NYCResistor didn't get a wikipedia page until we were featured in the NY Times. To a degree, I like that they rely on "trusted sources". But by the same token I know for a fact that several lines in the wikipedia article on cock roaches were written by me and a friend arguing while piss drunk. They've been there for over a year now.

notability requirements are fine, but they're still ditching valuable information.

it'd be cool if there was a site like wikipedia where everything must cite sources, but they don't need to meet some arbitrary notability threshold.
