"A grudge that will not span a decade is hardly deserving to be called a grudge."
Congratulations-- You have found the Alumni SlamBook, a community wiki project attempting to collect certain histories [sic] and personalities [sic] into one central location. Although this wiki was originally set up by Zaglossus, it is not by him. Alumni SlamBook is on a free service, no one owns the wiki, no one other than those who contribute to it are responsible for its content, and anyone may edit any page.
It is certain that this will be of interest only to those who were at a certain place, at a certain time. (Even then, the interest of those once deeply involved is sure to now be fairly tepid.)
As always, please be careful not to reveal too much about yourself or your associates, and use especial discretion in revealing any specifically identifying information about those who may not be present to speak for themselves. As the Alumni SlamBook is a community-edited wiki, use your editing powers judiciously, but always in favor of children, spouses, pets, and the otherwise enfeebled, who are brought to these pages through no fault of their own (and likely suffered neglect as a result of the online habits which are the focus of this project).
Identifying former (and even present) screennames, and the public actions performed under those screennames, is surely acceptable, however. Details gathered in private or of an otherwise presumed confidential nature will have to be at the contributor's discretion [sic], and the editing public's pleasure.
Those cautions to the side, this is not intended as a strictly historical undertaking, and should be thought of more as a memory aid. The greater the quantity of opinion, speculation, inference, half-remembered accusation, long-forgotten bile, bravado, and raw self-praise these sections contain, the more likely they are to spark a fond recollection.
As a place to begin, here is the ScreenName List, and here is the Who Was the Guy... page. Under construction is a very rudimentary Catastrophic Events page.
Assuming all are competent enough to figure out a very basic WYSIWYG wiki system [1], add, edit, and delete as you will. (Editing does not require registration. Registration does not require an email. If you see any advertising, it is because you are too slow-witted to use Firefox with the AdBlockPlus extension.)
Two useful features you might miss, though, are the "Recent Changes" link in the left margin, which will show you the pages currently subject to its title, and the "discussion" tab at the top of each article, where thoughts, ideas, and controversies can be exchanged. (For example:
Talk:Intheway1.)
[1] If not, click the little tab at the top of each page that says "edit." If you still find yourself confused after that, at the bottom of the edit page you will see a link to "Editing help." Beyond that, you might as well just give up, and ask your little children to help you.
