I won't give too much exposition on what went down that day. It was a day of tragedy and triumph. We'll discuss the good side of it. Look below and you shall see how the fruits of our labours have gotten us. We could not have gone this far without the help of our staff working together and the userbase. For all those kind people, thank you. Now see below.
I bolded the parts I felt were most relevant.
03:02:12: <rogaway> hey so are you busy
03:04:18: <EdAWACS> kinda why?
03:05:27: <rogaway> It has been brought to my attention that your site has actually not only survived, but thrived to a degree I honestly did not expect to be possible. I wish to not extend official recognition, but to perhaps allow the outreach arm of the scp wiki to show greater interest in your site
03:05:42: <EdAWACS> thanks
03:06:11: <rogaway> Before I can do anything, I need more information. Can tell me about your staff structures and policies, give an honest overview of how things generally go day-to-day on your site, and what your long term goals are, if you have any?
03:09:15: <EdAWACS> I'll get back to you in a bit
03:09:32: <Roget> take your time
03:18:21: <EdAWACS> Sorry had to handle and isssue
03:18:55: <Roget> I understand
03:18:57: <Roget> No biggie
03:24:09: <EdAWACS> AS you can see in #basesix
03:24:12: <EdAWACS> bit of an issue
03:24:28: <EdAWACS> Thank you for being paitient
03:25:09: <Roget> Not a problem
03:46:00: <EdAWACS> Well Roget
03:46:06: <EdAWACS> Are you still there?
03:46:21: <Roget> yes
03:53:02: <EdAWACS> So we have admins and mods
03:54:51: <EdAWACS> Mod focus on the forums and while admins handle the planning mostly for the site and maintaining the area
03:55:00: <EdAWACS> Most of the mods are kinda inactive
03:55:07: <EdAWACS> So the admins mostly do the work
03:55:20: <EdAWACS> Cad and I micromanage the CI wiki
03:55:41: <EdAWACS> I help with establishing new rules and regulations and insuring the site looks good
03:55:44: <EdAWACS> Cad is well
03:55:50: <EdAWACS> He's a jack of all trades
03:56:08: <EdAWACS> He helps with the CSS coding all our sites
03:56:23: <EdAWACS> He's an active contributer to the site's content
03:56:57: <EdAWACS> You still there?
03:57:18: <Roget> yes
03:58:17: <EdAWACS> He's a really funny and quirky person to have the pleasure of working with
03:58:32: <EdAWACS> We are not just staff here at the CI wiki we are friends as well
03:58:56: <EdAWACS> For our policies
03:59:14: <EdAWACS> We try to keep the wiki relatively a postive enviroment for users
03:59:24: <EdAWACS> For more information you can consult our site rules
03:59:31: <EdAWACS> and the Guide for New recruits
04:00:01: <Roget> So you and Cad are the main two in charge, is that fair to say?
04:00:13: <EdAWACS> Yes
04:00:44: <EdAWACS> But we try to listen to what the userbase has too say
04:01:12: <EdAWACS> And our userbase has been quite supportive of our staff members offering suggestions on how to betterement the site
04:01:18: <EdAWACS> We try to hear everyone out
04:01:46: <Roget> Cool cool
04:02:08: <Roget> what are the day to day things you do?
04:02:29: <EdAWACS> Mostly we read the new content
04:02:42: <EdAWACS> Engage in conversations with users
04:02:56: <EdAWACS> and sometimes we propose ideas for new articles and tales
04:03:12: <EdAWACS> As well as hold contests and challenges
04:03:35: <EdAWACS> We have a considerable amount of collaboration projects on the site
04:05:10: <EdAWACS> We also step in to break up…..issues which may arise
04:05:17: <Roget> issues?
04:05:27: <EdAWACS> We have had some user problems
04:05:39: <EdAWACS> Which we dealt with ASAP
04:05:56: <EdAWACS> Kinda like the SCP wiki deals with
04:06:03: <EdAWACS> WE used to be an open site
04:06:31: <EdAWACS> for all to join but after one user kept evading us, we maintained a closed site policy
04:06:47: <EdAWACS> So processing applications is what we admins do as well
04:07:22: <EdAWACS> But as one user told Cad, we are considered one of the nicer communities on the internet
04:07:43: <EdAWACS> everyone is generally always happy to help one another and have a good time
04:07:51: <Roget> that's nice. You seem to have a tight knit community
04:07:57: <Roget> it reminds me of the early scp wiki
04:08:07: <Roget> You just need a defining, good piece of writing to establilsh a more concrete identity
04:08:16: <EdAWACS> We've attempted to do so
04:08:21: <EdAWACS> So far
04:08:52: <EdAWACS> Earlier we were much more lenient in the kind of content we accepted
04:09:13: <EdAWACS> But now we are a great deal more strict in our demands for a good article or tale
04:09:36: <EdAWACS> Cad and I all strive to find the best and most original content we can muster
04:10:13: <EdAWACS> Works deemed far too similar to those on the SCP wiki are often rejected
04:10:24: <Roget> okay
04:12:03: <EdAWACS> Anything else?
04:12:13: <EdAWACS> Also
04:12:24: <EdAWACS> We try to start out own canon for the CI wiki
04:12:31: <EdAWACS> In our canon
04:12:38: <EdAWACS> the old CI was overthrown
04:13:13: <EdAWACS> because many considered them revisionists following in the Foundation's footsteps of Secure Contain and Protect
04:13:29: <EdAWACS> So there was a resurgance which overthrew the old CI leaders
04:13:56: <EdAWACS> Therefore a new leadership took precedence
04:14:05: <EdAWACS> Under the leader known only as "Haos"
04:14:23: <EdAWACS> We were partially inspired by Slate Thunder to a certain degree
04:15:00: <EdAWACS> Haos than presented his doctrine on what the current state of the world is
04:15:06: <EdAWACS> and how he felt it should be
04:15:21: <EdAWACS> If you see the "haos Doctrine"
04:15:57: <EdAWACS> But we decided to keep haos vauge
04:16:04: <Roget> So what does the CI do now
04:16:12: <EdAWACS> We don't know whether Haos is human or not
04:16:35: <EdAWACS> They try to take a more aggresive stance on the world stage
04:16:48: <Roget> idea: Haos could be related to the Administrator or somefink
04:16:48: <EdAWACS> Rather than doing prinpricks
04:17:11: <EdAWACS> There is also the intelligentsia
04:17:15: <EdAWACS> Which are world wide
04:17:42: <EdAWACS> who alongside haos secretly decide the future goals of the new insurgnency
04:18:00: <EdAWACS> Well the idea of Haos related to the Administrator could work
04:19:17: <EdAWACS> But the intelligentisia is not a council
04:19:25: <EdAWACS> It's a group of millions
04:19:39: <EdAWACS> Anyone could be a member of the intelligentsia
04:19:53: <EdAWACS> Even someone typing words on a chatroom
04:20:06: <EdAWACS> And they act as a collective mindset
04:20:25: <EdAWACS> deciding the future of the insurgency
04:20:30: <Roget> so how does that work
04:20:34: <Roget> what's the CI agenda
04:21:11: <EdAWACS> To take power in the name of creating a better future
04:21:20: <EdAWACS> To advance humanity at any cost
04:21:36: <EdAWACS> To acquire knowledge no one dares to tread
04:21:57: <EdAWACS> And to walk the path laden with taboos for ultimate enlightment
04:22:25: <EdAWACS> Once they acquire the ultimate enlightment they will arise and remake the world in their image
04:22:31: <EdAWACS> At least that is what they hope to do
04:23:38: <EdAWACS> They view history as one where people fearful of knowing try to use that fear to oppress
04:23:50: <EdAWACS> They want that kind of knowledge
04:23:56: <Roget> I see
04:24:05: <EdAWACS> Even if it is potentially harmful knowledge
04:24:20: <EdAWACS> They do not to an extent wish to be human
04:24:39: <EdAWACS> For some members this doctrine is followed fanatically
04:24:48: <Roget> Hey, random question, but do you follow ice hockey?
04:24:54: <EdAWACS> Not reallly
04:25:01: <Roget> okay
04:25:03: <Roget> Anyways
04:26:11: <Roget> This has been very informative. As the official cap'm of SCP Outreach, please come to me if you need some support or anything at all. You can continue going to Zyn, but I can open more doors than they can because of my position. I am not officially recognizing your site, but this is possibly putting you on the path to eventually make that happen
04:26:57: <EdAWACS> Sure
04:27:06: <EdAWACS> So we just need more content and such
04:27:09: <EdAWACS> any suggestions?
04:27:46: <EdAWACS> And thank you for giving your time for hearing me out
04:28:21: <Roget> Sure sure
04:28:29: <Roget> I think you need something big and dramatic
04:28:38: <Roget> You need a War of the Doctors type of story
04:28:52: <Roget> open a big fun sandbox for your best people to play in and to really draw people into your content
04:29:03: <EdAWACS> Well we tried with Project Haos
04:29:15: <EdAWACS> And we do have Aleph 11 Tango
04:29:19: <EdAWACS> But sure
04:29:25: <EdAWACS> I'll try to think something up
04:30:31: <Roget> You need an event, basically
04:30:38: <Roget> to be followed up by more events
04:30:47: <EdAWACS> Sure
04:30:55: <EdAWACS> I'm sure we'll come up with something
04:31:44: <Roget> You could have a series about the CI splitting from the Foundation
04:32:33: <EdAWACS> Hmmm
04:32:42: <EdAWACS> Well we'll try
04:32:59: <EdAWACS> But it will be hard seeing as Slate Thunder has such a overreach itself
04:36:44: <EdAWACS> I'm working on some of my own as well
04:36:56: <EdAWACS> Cad work is however amazing
04:37:16: <EdAWACS> He has really developed his author avatar to a deep extent
04:37:21: <Roget> Cool
04:37:37: <EdAWACS> His most recent tale series has him falling in love with the CI spy satellite Quaestior
04:37:46: <EdAWACS> and me cruelly denying him his love
04:41:57: <EdAWACS> I'm trying to write a incident report for my item the End of Days Engine
04:42:07: <EdAWACS> Titled the Dark Star Falling incident
04:42:43: <Roget> I might write this secession from the Foundation series
04:42:57: <EdAWACS> Great!
04:43:43: <Roget> If I have time. I might be busy with Crisis In Infinite Canon
04:44:13: <EdAWACS> I'll probably be sniping enemies with my Centurion Mk1's 20pdr cannon
04:44:32: <Roget> It'd be less action and more espionage drama of people with torn loyalties
04:45:00: <EdAWACS> Mine will be me sniggering at enemy tanks as I rip them apart with my DPM
04:45:16: <EdAWACS> while ghasing my teeth as they pierce my 76mm of frontal armor
04:49:41: <Roget> I'll be honest, that seems more like trying to be cool than a storytelling perspective
04:49:57: <EdAWACS> ?
04:50:46: <Roget> I don't think that shooting things and such really captures the ideological secession of the insurgency
04:51:16: <EdAWACS> Well keep in mind it was the very first collaboration tale we had
04:51:23: <EdAWACS> Back in the early days
04:51:26: <EdAWACS> Kinda
04:51:56: <Roget> kk
04:54:11: <EdAWACS> I'm a bit slower at writing content
04:54:27: <EdAWACS> IF you want check out Project Haos
04:55:33: <Roget> I might
