Wikipedia knows ALL!

scary.

[ig.]

I'm always reminded of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy whenever I see a wiki. I know - I'm a geek. See? It IS mostly harmless!

Anyhow, credit goes to Matt Cruea for starting that wiki and a few others for cleaning it up. Matt did a great job of getting the gist of it down, and as before I'd like to remind anyone that it's open for subsequent additions.

[Matt Cruea]

Yeah, I'm pretty proud of that thingy. It was all made from memory.

Also, it was an awesome way to link to my site, www.mattcruea.com, on one of the biggest and most popular sources of information on the internet.

[Cefaclor]

wow, that was very interesting actually. How do these Wiki ppl know so much... there is only one explanation: gasp*

Awesome job, Matt. ^.^

I believe Matt posted that he wrote that about a couple weeks ago. Shows how much you all pay attention =P

sorrrrrrrrrry

[Edwyn]

That is a very neat thing there!

But it needs more me in it. For as we all know, I started the whole amateur voice acting thing. All the way back in 1913. I patented it and everything. So it's all about me.

..... What? So I'm a fan of revisionist history. Doesn't mean you can't prove it weren't true! Cause your minds are all faulty and not remembering and stuph.

[TamTu]

Ugh. "Saphire Blue".



RETARD.

[Edwyn]

Ugh. "Saphire Blue".

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :twisted:

Terribly overwrought usernames come back to haunt us all. XD

[Matt Cruea]

[Jing]

Wow....
:shock:
They almost know everything...

[Nikki Wright]

Wow....
:shock:
They almost know everything...Considering Matt Cruea, an established member of many a year in the community, wrote it... yeah, they do. :P

:oy

Not bad although the VAA was formed while VARC was still alive, :D of course it was complete crap until Danae kicked my butt into gear.

[Zelina]

Wow, Matt! Thats awsome! Good job! *hands you cookie*

[Azure]

Yep and that URL still works, quite scary really.

Question: Is Sapphira another misspelling of Saphire Blue?

I think we should do a Matt Cruea page just for the heck of it.

[Autumn]

Question: Is Sapphira another misspelling of Saphire Blue?

Answer: No. Sapphira is FLAVA Admin., and a cool girl that I've been said to sound like. o.O;; Saphire Blue is, I believe, Tamtu's (Blue's) old username.

Am I right? I'm probably wrong. XD

[tofu]

Well that's all cleared up. I keep forgetting there was a Sapphira. Meeeeh.

Yes, "Saphire Blue" was Blue/TamTu. XD Saphire. *snerk*

[aj]

Ha ha. That's awesome.

"Quite a few AVAs have gone on to do professional work, and the opposite is also true as a few professional voice actors have found times to visit the communities."

But which professionals come here? Lol.

[Matt Cruea]

Well, Kyle Hebert's done some work with Maria. And... uh...

...Lucien knows Corey Burton?

[Azure]

A few pros used to lurk on the VAA mailing list, ;3 and I think a few skip around here every so often out of boredom.

[Danae]

I DEMAND SOMEONE MAKE AN ENTRY ABOUT HOW SHITTY AN ADMIN I AM.

[Lucien]

Ha ha. That's awesome.

I know James Alburger at least signed up, and Craig J. Harris introduced himself in the Hi forum. There have probably been others.

This forum stands as a monument to your shitty administrative capabilities.

[Allison Rose]

Tiffany Grant volunteered her voice for Eva-R (http://eva-r.com/). :) The audio portions of that project were primiarly cast from the AVA community. (This was before the VAA, though... maybe even pre-VARC.)

[Iscabibble]

Now how can I weasel my ass into there? Must think of a way..

Well you know, anyone can edit the page... :twisted:

Hehehe! But I've have to think of something legit to put there. =P

[ClymAngus]

Interesting, so there was a VA board of sorts going a fair way back. Going back to the mid 1990's? Must have been a bit of a cow shunting around audio files in the mid 90's thought. I know someone who edited on his home desktop, using a top of the range PC at the time and he had to off line everything to 100mb zip files or his system would lock.

I know MP3 was invented in the mid 90's but would it have been readily available?
"January 26th, 1995 saw Fraunhofer apply for the patent of MP3 in the USA and was granted it on November 26th, 1996."

I wouldn't like to try and put a wav or aif file on a page even now (you'd be downloading it for ever). I suppose if you've got limited everything then only the good stuff gets through. Were audio productions more polished back in the day? I'd love to hear some of the first mid 90's productions.

[Komichi]

Ah, old school is always cool.

[hideko_dahlia]

Verssen Werks has gotten Tiffany and Monica to do cameo appearances in our dubs....

That's so cool that AVA has a Wiki..... >D
