Wikipedia is not likely to let us use it for what we want. For example, there is no way they're going to let us collect shader links to Rendo and RDNA forum threads on Wikipedia.

Poserpedia seems to be a good place, but I have no reason to think it will still exist in 18 months. It seems to be the work of one person, despite the frequent references to "we" and "team".

Yeah right - the history of every page I looked at is all by "Admin" - i.e. the owner Paul Özdemir.

But Paul is a smart guy. He placed an article in there about VSS long ago.

So maybe he's going to keep it running. I don't see how it is paid for, but maybe he is willing to pay forever. Or maybe he'll need donations.

Meanwhile, the wetpaint one is paid for by advertisements. But, again, even that may disappear at any time - soon as the business model is revealed to be full of holes.

I have a Google site that will never disappear as it is free, and I can make a new one in a heartbeat. The right to own/edit the site based on explicit rights management amounts to the same as poserpedia - a shared website.

The advantage of wiki is and always has been peer-reviewed and managed content. Anybody can type anything - anybody can trash it or spam it - and anybody who cares can undo the crap with a couple clicks.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
