Plus, this is more than just Jeff we're talking about. This will open up a lot of historical promise. It gives Cleric what he wants - preservation of the history of the story, and gives me what I want - the beridding of the actual story. This project would just expand the idea (not necessarily getting rid of the stories) and be an interesting edition.

FOR THOSE OF YOU SAYING IT'S POINTLESS:

Do you guys do nothing for fun anymore? If it seems pointless, chances are, it's being done for fun. Why do you guys have to nitpick everything as to why we need it or not? If you know what the definition of fun is, you can logically infer that not everything has some kind of humongous point to it.

I think this project would reach to people who are interested in the history. It may even expand the community. Saying "no, it's pointless!" is silly. We have to lighten up on some things and be a little less serious. The first scientist didn't do science because there was a point. He did it because he was curious and wanted to have some fun.

The better question is: Why should there be a point to it?

Ok, Callie has a point now.

This site centers so much on how big the benefits of something will be that we pass over something like having a little fun. How did we get to a point where there has to be a massive point to every little thing we do? And why does everything have to be dissected before it is done?

It's a bad way to run things. In my opinion, you should just go for it and do this thing. Nothing bad would happen if you do, no matter what anyone says. Well, while I agree with all of what was said, it can be beneficial to dissect a decision before merely enacting it with no deliberation whatsoever. Yes, it is not good to have a standstill of picking at every shortcoming of everything, but there is a good side to the criticism, if it is constructive. I support this, of course. But I merely would like to say that review, and not nitpicking, of anything is beneficial. To remove the chaff from the seed would be a major pull for many more people, and that would be a great help!
