* Phew. The spam has really been hitting this wiki pretty hard lately. I've had to enable user account verification in order for this wiki to at all be able to survive. Thanks for everyones' efforts in curtailing the spam. -- [[User:Toresbe|Tore]] ([[User talk:Toresbe|talk]]) 14:52, 8 February 2011 (PST)

* '''Orphans''' - If you look at the list of [[Special:LonelyPages|orphaned pages]], we have quite a few - and I have just done a ''lot'' of work reducing the number. If you create a page, ''you'' will know it is there - but others probably will not, unless it is linked to by something else. Please make doing that a part of your routine!

* Hey everyone, I'm still alive as is this Wiki - and although I'm not putting all that much effort myself into making article edits, I'm still happily maintaining the site and it seems to be accumulating interesting content. A special thank-you goes to [[User:Neozeed|Neozeed]] for his tireless contributions. The wiki will be maintained, and backups are made of the content. -- [[User:Toresbe|Tore]] ([[User talk:Toresbe|talk]]) 15:04, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

* '''Expandable navigation boxes''' - For navigation boxes which have gotten too large, there is now a way to hide part of them behind an 'Expand/Collapse' button; see [[Help:Introduction to Templates]], which now contains instructions for both kinds. An example of an expandable one may be seen [[Template:Nav_PDP-11|here]]. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 21:39, 29 December 2023 (CET)
  
* We've passed the 500 article mark, much in thanks to our consummate contributer [[User:Neozeed|Neozeed]]!  We've also become the top first or second result on Google for a number of terms. Good job, everyone! -- [[User:Lucky|Lucky]] 21:46, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

''Older news is [[Computer History Wiki:Older News|here]].''
 
 
* Although the site has been neglected at times, and our two year anniversary went unmarked, we're still around! [[User:Toresbe|Toresbe]] has made user registration mandatory to deal with the large amount of spam we've been receiving. New templates have been created and more navigation boxes, articles on peripherals and systems have been added too.  Keep up the good work everyone, I'm especially proud of the [[:Category:Tutorials|tutorials we now have]] for SIMH! :) -- [[User:Lucky|Lucky]] 18 July 2009

  • Orphans - If you look at the list of orphaned pages, we have quite a few - and I have just done a lot of work reducing the number. If you create a page, you will know it is there - but others probably will not, unless it is linked to by something else. Please make doing that a part of your routine!
