Hey, saw your message for car help on community chat. I too am looking for people intrested in cars to help on The Classic Car Wiki.

 * Okay, as long it's classic cars. No Nissan GT-Rs or BMW Z4s understood? I don't want to be compete with other car wikis. -- Ra yo us 00:59, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

Reviews
All model review pages from wikicars have been copied over. What's next?-Hockeyben 01:05, September 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * For me, fixing up the screwed up categories, and the missing images. -- Ra yo us 01:54, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * The missing jeep images for me.-Hockeyben 02:03, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

Message wall
Looks AWFUL. Hockeyben ✉ 03:43, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, I know. -- Ray ous♠ 04:02, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't understand why wikia wants to do this. All experiences users have zero problems with talk pages, they have been used without fuss on wikipedia for over 10 years. Plus, talk pages are used to directly discuss things regarding the wiki, not a message board for random discussions. Hockeyben  ✉ 04:11, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * It doesn't matter. Wikia wasn't afraid to force Wikians to eat their crap Oasis skin. So nothing's going stop them from changing Wikia into Facebook. -- Ray ous♠ 05:56, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I guess I will start to sound like a Wikia-fanboy, but why does it look awful to you? Imo it actually looks more userfriendly. You don't have to use - Zantam03 ( Talk ) at the end anymore and everyone can easily see who posted which message. It's basically the same as the Comments on the bottom of articles. For a talk-page this works really well I think... --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 06:31, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, but this is how much people who don't want it. -- Ray ous♠ 06:50, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yea but I'm asking you why you don't like it. I don't care about that list. I don't need it to form an opinion. I don't like or dislike something because there's a list of people who like or dislike it. I like the new talkpage because it's more userfriendly... no more :::::: or or whatever. Those people in that list are probably people who also did not want Wikia to switch to Monaco and they will never accept ANY form of change. --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 08:05, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikis have talk pages and signatures. When Wikia replaces it with a "wall", it becomes a social networking site, not a wiki anymore. -- Ray ous♠ 08:08, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * In essence nothing changes; you're talking, but in the future this will be slightly easier and the talkpage will look more clear. Wikis will never look like a social networking site, because a talkpage is still something that happens "behind the scenes". --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 10:31, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I hope you're right because about 98% percent of the community do not like this new feature. -- Ray ous♠ 10:35, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Most people who come here are still regular, unregistered visitors. 99% percent of those have and will never see your talkpage. By making the talkpage more clear and easier to use Wikia hopes to encourage teamwork for the Wiki. If people want to call that "Facebook-ish" then go ahead, but I don't see how it does and I'm actually looking forward to the message wall. Never really liked the :::::: and ~ or.... people forgetting to use those. --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 10:41, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * And I believe people who don't mind or find this feature "ok" will not bother to share their opinion, so that list is incomplete I'm sure and does not truly represent the Wikians opinion. --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 10:46, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Jeep images
I'll do the Jeep images, so don't bother uploading any of those. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:34, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Come on chat. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:41, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * You joined then left. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous♠ 15:51, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * You didn't respond to my messages, I'll come back on. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:58, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, sorry I wasn't using private chat. But I gotta sleep bye -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous♠ 16:00, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * We can talk later then. -- Hockeyben ✉ 16:01, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Auto racing
I have expanded/created a number of auto racing pages, including NASCAR and various other championships. All F1 seasons and race tracks have articles, and all main NASCAR races also have articles. -- Hockeyben ✉ 14:28, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

Skin
I've tweaked the skin. What do you think?-- Hockeyben ✉ 17:26, October 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I like the white skin better. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 01:17, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay. I'll revert to Zantam's version. Hockeyben ✉ 01:19, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

So. We'll just keep the white skin. I like the fact that it doesn't look to "busy". I sorta liked the gray one, though. Hockeyben ✉ 01:27, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

We should start a Autopedia:Categories page, to help us organize the disastrous cats. I remember we had something like that on Shoutwiki. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:14, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hmm.. I think I have to change the main page design, fix the categories, upload images, retrieve the deleted Koenigsegg articles, and update car blogs. That's the last thing I need to do on my list. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 15:16, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay then. What are you planning for the main page? I sorta liked the sw one. I think the skin is fine, and should be kept, though. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:18, October 2, 2011 (UTC)PS I can copy the article text for Koenigsegg from Wikipedia, and use the wikicars layout. So you don't need to. -- Hockeyben  ✉ 15:19, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I'm not in a good mood lately because I was banned from Community Chat. I was gonna do the main page later, but I've lost the motivation to do it. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 15:21, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * What happened on community chat? -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:21, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Does it matter? -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 15:23, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you dont wanna say, that's fine. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:25, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm just not in a good mood right now. Sorta depressed. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 15:27, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

I think people have already forgotten what happened back then. Besides, those conflicts were made under Knightrez. You're Rayous now... --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 17:25, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

Motorsport
I'm focusing my attention on Motorsport articles at the moment .-- Hockeyben ✉ 15:33, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 15:36, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

8K
8,000 articles!!! Another milestone! The motorsport articles are done for now, as well Hockeyben ✉ 01:21, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

RE
Hey. I saw your message about retiring if rm doesn't come back. I contacted him on wikipedia, and received a reply, basically stating he's currently too busy IRL to have time for ap. Which basically means the car blogs are screwed. What does this mean for your future with the site? After all that autopedia has rebounded from, I would hate to see it become a deserted wiki, and I will help out when time permits if there are other members of the community also willing to work. Hockeyben ✉ 03:53, October 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Recently, I've lost my addiction to wiki editing. But I'll make a few edits later. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 05:42, October 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sometimes, I lose interest in wikis, and want to quit, but after taking a few days (or weeks) off, I generally feel motivated again. -- Hockeyben ✉ 14:02, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

Community portal
Hey. I posted some thoughts on Autopedia:Community Portal. Could use your insight on my thoughts there. Hockeyben ✉ 02:01, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Other wikis
Are there any other wikis your into editing at the moment? Hockeyben ✉ 02:14, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nope. All my concentration is here. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:16, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Same, right now just here and sometimes wikipedia. That'll change when shout comes back, and my attention will be more over there. I have a rough idea on what we missed with the car blogs, and will be updating some stuff tomorrow. Hockeyben ✉ 02:20, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * I finally got my wiki addiction back. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:22, October 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Good that your motivated again. The major auto shows we miss are Geneva, Chicago, and New York. I'll mainly be doing articles on the models unveiled, not small updates. Hockeyben ✉ 02:26, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia has a handy category for cars released in 2011 See here, I should be able to do this rather easily. Hockeyben ✉ 02:29, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, great. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:31, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * can you help with the car updates? Just use wikipedia. Hockeyben ✉ 02:38, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I'm quite busy at the moment. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:39, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, but the updates will be a lot of work, but not as bad as I imagined. Hockeyben ✉ 02:41, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Should I disable comments? What do ya think? -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:45, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * If we can use ex: Talk:Jeep, then yes. Especially after those spam comments a few weeks ago. Hockeyben ✉ 02:48, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * I just disabled it. Talk:Jeep -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:50, October 7, 2011 (UTC)
