Title: New Splatterhouse Info
Description: West Mansion update and Splatter wiki
ThSaverior - March 4, 2011 01:59 AM (GMT)
Hi, guys.
I was thinking that maybe we should update the Splatterhouse 2010 pages on the West Mansion site. I mean, it has been a LONG while since the game came out.
BTW, why are you guys so picky about the Splatterhouse wiki?
I mean, almost every game has one and it's not like it's gonna replace the West Mansion site.
Besides, it's pretty new compared to us. There's no way it'll be as good, right? Especially since almost any idiot can erase a whole article and replace it with "Gaylordz lolol" or something.
It's shakey and I think those guys could use some help. I mean, the West Mansion is the best place to go for Splatterhouse info.

It was more about images from West Mansion being used without permission, Saverior. That said I wouldn't mind lending a hand to help when I get some free time.

That's it really? I could try to contact the bureacrat or admin. Something like that.
I've gone there a couple times and they say that without West Mansion, there would be no Splatterhouse wiki right on the home page.
"We give much credit to West Mansion which is the main and first home of online information about Splatterhouse. Thank you creator of West Mansion, we would not have had any inspiration about creating the Splatterhouse wiki without you."
So...maybe they're trying to say sorry?

I would think that there would be easier far more direct ways to say I'm sorry than that. Especially in this day of Electronic Mail

Well, maybe these guys don't know how to contact us. I mean, we have to sign in just to look at the forum these days. And I don't see any email adresses on the West Mansion site.
Like I said, tomorrow I'll try to contact the admin or somebody and get an e-mail apology.

I think Dire and the admin already talked, and everything was sorted out.

Can't remember exactly, but I know the whole thing with the pictures was brought to the admins attention.

That's pretty much what they're trying to do. I contacted the wiki admin, or whatever the title is, and expressed how I felt about the wiki and the liberal usage of images and text from WM, without even as much as a link in return. They were very nice about the whole thing and apologized to me, then put up that notice.
I cannot help them with their wiki - I have enough on my plate where even running WM is no longer a priority - but I think if anyone else here wants to, they should.
