Forum:10th anniversary

/KHWV/ sings "Simple and Clean"
The idea would be to mock something like /a/ sings. /a/ Sings is a reddit board that comes together and sings anime openings every so often. Example! (ignore the first 20 seconds) So, I thought we could get a few people to come together and sing Simple and Clean. You don't have to be good, this is supposed to be a thing where everyone sucks at singing so we all come together and embarrass ourselves as a team! 05:07, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

If we do decide to do this, English version or Japanese version? I'm rather picky when it comes to the two, sorry! 18:59, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I was thinking we'd do the english plantB remix shortened version. (That way I could just overlap the our audio to the KHI intro.) 22:35, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Collaborative Art Piece
Brought up by FR, we'd come and make up a bunch of art pieces to make a big collaboration. I'll have FR come and give more details later. 05:07, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Time Travel to the Past!
This was brought up by KSM right before he left. "The only idea I was thinking we should/could have is to rehash our old themes (backgrounds) with our old logos, but the logos sporting a nice 10th Anniversary banner. It would run around during that week, unless you guys want to change the time it runs, it’s up to you guys." 05:07, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Discussion
I kind of expanded on this and tried to make the whole front page of The Keyhole into a flashback here. So maybe we could do that with the KHWiki front page as well? 05:07, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't mind doing that. It's not very visually appealing, but I suppose that's the point- to show what it was in 2006 and how much we've improved since. Since the wiki's birthday is April 1st, would the anniversary celebrations be happening on that week or for Jan 1st? 10:13, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

KHWikiverse: A history
Inspired by this, I've been wanting our own KHWiki:History page for a long time and what better incentive to write one than our 10th anniversary? This will require digging into ancient edit history especially for the first few years, but the few really old users can help out. Maybe we could contact inactive users from the past to piece together the information? 21:54, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Discussion
Perhaps we could. I'm not sure how active Bluerfn, Ultima the High Seraph and the lot will be, but it'll be nice to hear from them again. I can piece bit by bit from 2008 to 2011, and this year. There are some usernames I can draw. However, it would be advisable to contact them on the Keyhole, rather than here (because chances are, they wouldn't have signed up). TRS NX  20:20, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I wondered if anyone has off-wiki contacts for any old editors, because there's a bigger chance of them replying on Facebook or something than the wiki. 20:18, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I know how to get ahold of DE, Sox, and DTN. 22:27, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Timeline of the KHWiki
Similar to the KH timeline, we could make a timeline of the wiki with the important events (like moving to KHWiki or the founding of the KHWikiverse), game releases (to see what happened when) and, the most important, the join dates of the current users. We could later display it on the history page mentioned above. 11:15, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Discussion
I like this a lot. Would we only have the join dates of current users? I think it's important to recognise retired ones too. The problem is deciding which users deserve a mention and which don't. 11:27, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe also retired staff members and all Featured Users? 12:54, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure. 12:59, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to merge this with the above topic? Or have them at least link each other? 22:28, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Overall discussion
How long would the celebrations take? A week or a month or maybe longer? 11:43, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Depends. I think the /a/ and art collab could be featured in a special 10th anniversary celebration page fourteen in the magazine set to release in April 1st (our birthday). The logo/skin/main page could be retro for that week. 16:27, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I think we should use the entire month. It's easy to miss out on everything if you have a busy week, while everyone should be able to come online sometime during the month. 11:15, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree with the whole month for the main page. Would we want to change the Monobook skin background as well? Or would that be too much work? 22:52, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
