Hi Tynian! So.. I'm curious -- is there any way to find out an original creation date for a 2x character? I'm pretty sure Cordir was created in the fall of 1995, but due to multiple computer crashes, don't have those log files any more :(  Are there mud back ups from that time period?  [[User:Cordir|Cordir]]

* Hi Tynian! It's the pest... I was wondering: is there a setting or config that allows you to add to the allowable file types for upload? I have a .wav file I'd like to upload, but it says its an illegal type. :(  [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 10:37, 3 April 2011 (MDT)
 
** I have included .wav as a valid upload type. [[User:Tynian|Tynian]] 12:05, 3 April 2011 (MDT)

* Me again. I have a file of goofy comments that immortals put on one another, from 2000 - 2002, as part of a silly game of 'tag'. It contains no imm information, just sillyness. Would it be ok to post?  As an example:
