Oh well, at least you have all the new ships new! :)

I wouldn't say the comment system on the wikia is particularly user friendly.. It is quite annoying that you can only reply at the top of the thread. I don't receive notifications for new comments either. I have to remember what the comments count was the last time I checked it. Furthermore, I have to scroll through all the threads to "scout" the new comments too. Luckily, I reply to nearly every comment here, so I just have to check what threads don't have my comment as the last one. :d

I have thought about hosting my own website, where I can have all the control I want. Wikia imposes a couple of limitations that I find somewhat annoying/cumbersome. For example, you can only post images you have uploaded here, and you have to use specific wikitext tags for urls and images. The hosting is not the problem here, since I can host in on my cousin's server. However, it will take me quite a bit of effort to set things up properly. Initially, I intended creating my own "simple" content management system where I could just enter the text and let it generate the page using my own template. However, it requires quite a bit of knowledge which I don't have. Although I'm sure I would be able to figure everything out. I doubt it would be worth it. Creating the guides here takes "manual" work editing the "code", but it isn't all that much effort.

Besides, posting my guides here allows me to reach a larger audience. Though I'm not hungry for "views", it does allow me (potentially) "help" out more players.
