HEXUS wikipedia??

[TAKTAK]

So, following on from this: HERE

why doesn't HEXUS have a wiki entry??

is there a valid reason or is it just that noone has got around to it?


there are links from wiki to HEXUS but no main HEXUS WIKI page...









*mebbe this should be in suggestions?*

What has that bloke got against HEXUS anyway?

he's bit-tech admin..... enough said really... competing forums and all that malarky

i'm sure DR's not going to be bothered if theres a HEXUS wiki entry or not, but it might direct a few people to the site or summin....

[Funkstar]

There was a HEXUS page at one point, but it was removed because they said HEXUS wasn't big enough to be worthy

This was waaaaaay back when i first joined if i remember right.

Well there was more to that than you say Funkstar and if you look around you can predict who wanted it deleted.

Anyway - if you guys want to post something up - feel free.

Make sure you keep it accurate and don't make it an advert..

/\ what he said, but dont blow our trumpet though...it's big enough and I have to carry it some days

I'm sure there was, I was just going from memory

I know I hadn't been around long at that point so any politics would have just gone way over my head.

Hexus is much bigger than Bit-tech and based in the UK. I do not believe this point to be valid. If no one can come up with an accurate citation, it should be removed

Hexus does not cater for computer modding/gaming/hardware enthusiasts and, aside from the inflated traffic claims on the Hexus pages, there is no proof as to how big Hexus is.

this needs doing in baby steps so that them there bit-techians don't get the hump and file for deletion.....

Funny thing is, I had this idea for a thread the other day, along the lines of whats the most mundane, common place item or think you can thing of that isn't listed on Wikipedia.

It would have been HEXUS itself.

Or spoons.

Yup, deffo HEXUS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon

[TAKTAK]

i've been wondering about it for a while, but after searching i couldn't find any record of there having ever been one...

[Stewart]

I tried catching it out and searching for Wikipedia on Wikipedia. Smart arse site had an entry for itself.

right... this needs doing properly and factually or we might as well not do it at all...

so, we need details of major happenings... ( such as info on the new forum )
no.

but seriously, info like: what happened when HEXUS was hacked...
things like that, that threatened the existance, major milestones, a staff list and job titles.

should things like care@HEXUS be mentioned?

if so, what manufacturers have used the sytem over the years *(i.e. currently theres SCAN, yoyo, thecus, corsair and abit, with active company intergration and also ati which hasn't seem an ati representitive for a while... but in the past there was Lian Li, komplett etc etc) so a list of previous care users would be nice (and epic if there are dates between which they were active)........

the founding date...

how the name was coined...

etc etc

one thing that obv will be referenced is the taser incident (and the cookery section... cos it's a 'lil bit out of place on a tech forum and worthy of a mention)
