This is a weird idea, I know. Still, it wouldn't hurt to have some Internet fame. Does anyone have any ideas?
Here is the article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NationStates). Go to the Forums section.

i guess it should talk about the move to jolt from the nationstates PHPbb forum, forum mods, link to the top 100 posters page (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/List_of_top_100_posters) on the NSwiki.... err, talk about me (;) :p), the NS elections maybe, stuff like that

Meh, an Uncyclopedia article would be much better, then it could have one of those "the truth is actually funnier than fiction" tags to it, as well as a "Satan loves this topic" one. Plus we could put in some kickass Oscar Wilde comment about it.

I believe I was the first around here to use the term "whatcha" and it's caught on.......annoyingly so at times.

i think i never seen that term or know what it means
still young here
Try not to make the Forums section so big as it reeks of advertising: See WP:NOT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NOT). The article is about NationStates the game, and not the forums. If the forums become very very popular, then it gets its own article.

The key for Wikipedia is notability (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability). Things that go into wiki should be notable to those outside the immediate circle of users. A game of 150,000 players is certainly notable, which is why there's an article on it. Much more than this, such as an in depth history of the foibles and follies of NSG, is probably something for NSWiki. The forums page on Wiki could do with some updating, perhaps a more detailed breakdown of the types of forums. Also worth pimping is the Admins policy of free (civilised) debate in General. It's one of the great assets of this fair forum.

I've been frequenting NSG since August of 2003, and haven't seen any of the supposed neologisms listed there used here. I have heard people use "whatcha" regularly in conversation, however.
