    GoDaddy DIDN'T change their policy on SOPA. They sent out a press release saying they did (when they didn't) so they could try and preserve the customers that were rightly flocking away from them. Literally hours after they released that bogus article there was evidence that they were still supporting SOPA. I'd never do business with a company that blatantly lies to its customers purely to maintain their contracts and income.

    I'm trying to maintain the integrity of the community by unifying all of the WIki activity on one site instead of segregating it onto two different locations. Not to mention the fact that you obviously want to increase traffic to your main site (Desron.net), otherwise you would have purchased a domain name like growiki or ghostrecononlinewiki... Multiple wiki pages for the same game creates two different images of the game.

    The semi-official wiki is:
    http://ghostrecononline.wikia.com

    When I say semi-official, I mean that it's being run on an extremely well known site for gaming wikis. Getting malicious content from the ads displayed on Wikia is probably a ridiculously small percentile. There are also Community Leaders actively managing it. We have a more direct line to the game developers and Ubisoft staff than most players, so we can verify facts much more easily.

    It's rather insulting to those of us who already put a lot of time and effort into creating the GRO Wikia when someone else comes along and just goes "oh hey come use mine on my site instead cause there's no ads and that makes it better somehow". Especially AFTER you asked for our permission to do so, then when we declined your offer you just go ahead and do it anyway.

    I never asked your permission to make a wiki, I politely offered for you to use mine because it is better... and I also said clearly that I wouldn't take any of your content without you asking... your facts are so twisted they are nauseating.

    growiki.com is already registered... whois:
    Registered through: GoDaddy.com, LLC (http://www.godaddy.com)
    Domain Name: GROWIKI.COM
    Created on: 02-Nov-11
    Expires on: 02-Nov-12
    Last Updated on: 02-Nov-11

    and if you really wanted a different domain then I would have gladly got it... I did say I wouldn't get one based on a post statement after "Furthermore, given the game is in beta any thing could change so to prevent any extra work, wasting of time money and effort it is probably best that we stick to what is free for the time being."

    You are really confusing talking about unification of wiki's when that's what I offered but you declined... I never once said I wouldn't continue making mine nor did I elude to it... the plan from the start has been and always will be to continue creating a gaming site filled with the content most useful to the players in my gaming community. Your attempts are at stifling that... I did talk with the GMs prior to carbonite and they sent me to chem who sent me to carbonite who talked with you... you are not even a leader on this, merely a contributor, and your public attacks on me and my choice of actions are frustrating... that being said I will be taking the time to submit an official complaint at you being placed as a community leader when you are attacking the members of the community you are supposed to be leading.

    To further illustrate that I am attempting to further the community and unify the wiki's (which I chose not to do before figuring you may have wanted them yourselves) I have gone ahead and purchased the following domains... for desron.net's hosted wiki. I will be setting them to all forward to the wiki so everyone is able to use them for easy access.

    ghostrecononlinewiki.co
    ghostrecononlinewiki.com
    ghostrecononlinewiki.org
    ghostrecononlinewiki.net

    Good luck with your Wiki, glad to see that you've purchased some domains to make it handier for people to find it.

    I wouldn't call yours better though. Wikia likely has better uptime than any GoDaddy site.

    Updated the first post to reflect a few changes. If anyone has the time and is willing to contribute the more the merrier! As I am sure you have all been experiencing a overflow of questions with the 100-200 players online during this phase of closed beta I can only imagine what the next phase of beta will bring.

    Currently we have a designer working on an excellent skin and has already mocked up a look:


    We also have myself and another player working on content... again, more assistance is always appreciated and you are welcome to create an account and update / add pages as you are able.

    Just a note, the GhostReconOnline TwitchTV channel isn't just for the Community Leaders. It's an official channel setup by Ubisoft for all live streams officially endorsed by Ubisoft and the GRO team.

    Maybe just list it as the official GRO TwitchTV channel.

    And I'm not sure why the Desron channel is listed as official, since in relation to GRO/Ubisoft it isn't.

    Updated, and you are welcome to register an account and make those updates yourself... as it would be faster than posting on the forum.

    Desron.Net is the gaming community that is supporting the wiki that would make it an official stream as well.
