A Wiki might be a great addition to Lazlo, though we shouldn't view it as a replacement.

Definitely not and I don't think anyone was suggesting that. It's hard to tell a story on a wiki.

The Log in issue is not a site or site software issue.
It is a browser / cookie issue.
Resolution -
*Log out
*In your browser, clear your cache/cookies/etc..
*Close your browser.
*re-open browser.
Issue should be resovled.
See this link - viewtopic.php?f=15&t=113028
Also, make sure you update your browser.
Honestly, I do not see why the Lazlo site needs multiple moderators. I am not trying to hog the spot or anything of the sort, but the main reason there is one (me aka Mordred or Malakai) is for account activation. And that is mainly due to previous version of the board software allowing spam bots in like they were evacuating a northern state from "The Day After Tomorrow".

Well, what I personally would like to see (and it's just that, my personal preference) is more moderation. I suspect that will also require additional mods but given the small number of active posters, maybe not.
I don't know what your specific mandate is in regards to the Lazlo Society, Mr. Deific NMI. So I don't even know if anything being discussed here is feasible based on other factors. Palladium wanting you to take a hands off policy regarding the site, for example. We're just some of the users trying to brainstorm ways to improve the site. Both so we'll enjoy it more and so that others will be more inclined to join in. As the Power that Be over there (and here), your input is invaluable in any way forward. Did I say invaluable? I meant crucial.

Perhaps it will prove a more successful strategy than suggesting he be stoned.

Re: What is your honest opinion about The Lazlo Society?
I didn't say stoned. If your gonna quote me, do it correctly....
what I actually said was -
See no mention of stoning.

Thats not the only thing, who ever is the sites programmer/IT caretaker should be dragged out into a dimmly lit alley and pelted with sharpened bricks...SLOWLY.

One: It wasn't a direct quote or it would have involved "quotation marks" or the
Second: What do you think stoning is, anyway? That you seem to think "sharpened bricks" is somehow not as bad or anyway different from being pelted with rocks and stones is distrubing. And for the record, where stoning is still practiced today, they'll use what's handy. Including sharpened bricks.
Or do you think it makes a difference because it's done slowly? Because it doesn't. It's still a deplorable thing to suggest. And the end result would still be the same, death. It would just take longer and cause more suffering for the recipient. And even if death isn't your intent, you're risking the recipients life and limbs while you cause them pain and suffering. Nothing about this is funny or in any way desirable.
It still shows a lack of taste on your part to suggest that an actual, living, breathing person, who reads and responds to posts here should be treated in such a matter and I still don't see the humor in it despite your little smiley faces.
So you haven't caught me up in misquoting you or whatever the point was you were trying to make. You've just brought more attention to your own lack of decency on this issue. And I really don't understand why you would want to do that.

Re: What is your honest opinion about The Lazlo Society?
A sharpened brick shows you took the time and effort to show someone you care.
A stone is just that, a stone. A common object picked up off the ground and thrown without care or feeling.
You should always put a lil bit of effort in everything you do.

It's good to know that you care so much about the people you brutally assualt. I'm sure they appreciate the extra effort you put into it.

Re: What is your honest opinion about The Lazlo Society?
The Lazlo Wiki is a fantastic find, Cy-Guy! I started an account and began a page about Skunk Ape. I see that you posted a couple of pages as well. Some person is going to be shocked that people are contributing to a wiki set up and never used two years ago.

Re: What is your honest opinion about The Lazlo Society?
I actually sort of hope we don't **** whoever it is off but it seems to have been started 'in character' so I'm hoping he'll be cool with it. I was careful not to actually change the intent of his original articles so that my 'addition' could be erased easily. If there's an objection, then this mysterious benefactor can easily delete any new articles that pop up.
I'd really like to know who started it, to be honest.

Re: What is your honest opinion about The Lazlo Society?
I suspect it's a Court of Tarot plot!
Your point about being in character is well taken. The Skunk Ape article was started under my own name, but no OOC data was revealed. I will try to stick to in-character personas in the future.
Should we start a new will thread now?

Re: What is your honest opinion about The Lazlo Society?
My only opposition to the wiki is the comment "Lazlo Agency members" should be able to post. I believe that anybody who contributes to the LS should be able to add info.
Also, another free wiki site is wikia.com.

Re: What is your honest opinion about The Lazlo Society?
To use a public wiki requires your nickname to be available. Often it is so that "kalle" is already taken for most sites.
