Questionable Content Gallery/Wiki

Questionable Content Pintsize!

Why don’t you come on over Gallery!?

Haha, see what I’ve done there.. Like Valerie.. If you don’t then nevermind! Moving on..

Bit of back story first. Many moons ago I started a wiki for the Questionable Content community to document a fictional handbook for the AnthroPC which is often featured in the comic. Pintsize in the comic is an AnthroPC. Kind of a personal computer, with a personality, a little robot which on occasion does all the things a normal PC does. You must read the comic to understand…

I also made an album in my Gallery install to showcase some QC wallpapers made by the community.

Anyway, all that was back in 2005! When sionide.net was hosted on a different server. So what happened? Well, sionide.net had to move servers and there wasn’t a backup. Hence the reasons for moving the blog to the root directory amongst other things. The wiki had kind of died and was over-run with spam (p.s. I hate wiki spammers almost as much as blog comment spammers, if not more!) The gallery was dead too..

And it turns out, the two topics I started on the Questionable Content Forum are *still* on the front page with now over 40,000 views each, people are running into my site and hitting 404 errors looking for the AnthroPC wiki and Wallpapers gallery.

It’s good news for those people and anyone who reads QC because they’re BACK!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you… The AnthroPC Handbook and the (new and improved) Questionable Content Wallpapers Gallery.

Thank you!

I’ve installed a Mediawiki and this time, I’ve installed a spam filter so we’ll see how that goes. After a few tries at installing Gallery2 I gave up. It’s impossible to install, there’s too much stuff that can go wrong. I almost had a working install using version 1.5.7 but it wasn’t generating thumbnails properly. Possibly something to do with imagemagick, I don’t know. Anyway, I’ve gone with Plogger this time.. A very simple PHP based gallery which actually installed first time! …Enjoy.
