Affiliation and Relations with AISF site

Summary:

Look at the title. Yeah.

Staff Vote: Affiliation and Relations with AISF site

DrCaduceus 03 May 2014 23:50

OK, so we need to clarify things before we get in a misunderstanding. First, we need to agree if we should be, as a site, affiliated or at least in a partnership with AISF or not, and if it's OK for them to attribute and connect their site to ours.

Discussion begins now.

Also, admins from AISF are welcome to post here, so we can better agree on this.

Although it would be nice to be affiliated with you guys, I don't really mind either way.
In universe, it could be, like a tactical decision to ally a site that could not try killing us as we dominate smaller sites that contain anomalous items of interest.

Keep in mind that actual site affiliation is different from in-universe canon. Your sites don't need to be affiliated for material to be used across them, given proper CC attribution.

However, formally-stated affiliation would essentially be like each site saying "yeah, whatever the other site comes up with in terms of canon (e.g. AIS and CI barbecue meetups every year stories), we support that." If there's no affiliation, it's "you can use our material (e.g. you can write about the barbecues with CI things mentioned) but the other site doesn't need to support or even acknowledge as true the canon you write up".

I'm sorry for coming off brusque, but I'm going with "Ah Hell No" on this one. It has already come with it's problems, and will only get worse. Sorry AIS, but I say no to any affiliation site-wide with AIS. And some advice, add a twist to your idea, so SCP won't have a reason to Eagle-Eye you for mistakes. We have our own problems, we can't risk being involved with any shoot-off sites. 157, I wish you the best of luck, but we can't risk it at this moment.

I'm going to have to agree with Hockenberry. We have our own problems here on this site to manage and a lot of work to be done. So I'm going to say "no" to the CI-wiki being affiliated with the AIS corps. You are however, Awesomeness157 welcome to remain a member of the CI-wiki. You are still allowed to use out material in-universe as long as it respects the Creative Commons License 3.0 but actual site affiliation I will vote against.

Yeah, I didn't think you guys would be okay with it because of legal reasons and your own issues. Like I said, I don't really mind either way.

Take some time refining your ideas, and remember the results of your being patient. The CI site will not be interfering or relating to your site as of now, but I will take up Zyn's idea of a yearly BBQ of CI and AIS. I'll
be expecting both our sites to be thriving and stronger
Come next year, today

Good luck, both our sites
