[QUOTE="andytizer8888"]

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"]I had never heard of this site and it's conceptually very cool, but I think they're dreaming. Even if all the banner rewards are bought by advertisers, that's still $41k they need to raise.

But if it does take off, it will provide an easy rebuttal to the argument that you need to spend hours searching for fixes to play any PC game (I mean, besides "You're an idiot")Cherokee_Jack

Hi thanks for the support and for reposting this thread. I'm hopeful that the Kickstarter will succeed, but it'll require the supreme generosity of the community to make the project succeed (4,100 donators giving $10 each). If you don't have money to spare, come and support us by editing the site: http://www.pcgamingwiki.com

Oho, so you're involved. I was thinking, Giant Bomb has a pretty extensive gaming wiki already (with a big community), and they're now owned by CBS which puts a lot more resources at their disposal. If this Kickstarter doesn't work out, I wonder if there's some potential for collaboration there.

There is potential for collaboration here. There are also other wikifarms, such as Curse, which are a good fit because they are more PC-centric. GiantBomb wikis mostly focus on game content rather than fixes. There is potential for them to have a 'fixes' subpage for each game, but there is a big danger of too much 'clutter' in the search results, and a lack of clear direction. PCGamingWiki is fairly pinpoint in not including game content at all, and is very much about the business of fixing games (and improvements like essential mods). This makes it much easier to find solutions to problems.

PCGamingWiki - is a wiki aiming to list a single page for all PC game fixes. No more forum searching, multi-page threads and locked forums whilst searching for a game fix.

Kickstarter for PCGamingWiki. If enough people can get behind this, maybe we can eradicate the 'nvm fixed it' forums posts for PC games forever..

You can make any game have cloud saving by using an application called Windows Live Sync to automatically save the folder onto SkyDrive. I have written up a post here: http://www.shinyhacks.com/2010/09/how-to-sync-savegames-on-cloud.html
