[edit] History of the site
Does someone who knows a bit more about the site want to write history section and how and when it got started and developed? I don't really know a great deal about the place in this respect, but to grow so big, I'm sure it must have been around a fair while in one form or another and been developed from a smaller site.

Theres one on the site, Ill have a look for it and post it. fr browne
I'm pretty sure UKL used to harvest posts from various educational newsgroups, even as late as it had begun to use vBulletin; there are artifacts in the old database that confirm this, as well as (IIRC) some old orphaned posts on the subject which I may be able to dig up Pig@thestudentroom.co.uk 08:55, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] POV-Check
I have listed this as a POV Check until I am able to verify the statements regarding TSR US and its member base/post count. Once done, Ill reconsider its listing. Lessthanthree 19:00, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

- I just deleted the TSRUS POV; the member numbers seem accurate enough. Just gave the article a quick edit, I'll add anything else substantial that comes to mind later.

The page appears to have no formatting atm... {Athena}
[edit] Stats
There's no need to update the stats all the time is there? Just when significant numbers are reached. Pig@thestudentroom.co.uk 01:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- It's best to keep the article as up to date and accurate as possible. But if you don't like it, you could always change it back :-) Evil Eye 07:58, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Well you can if you want but it just seems like a waste of your time! 'More than 5 million posts' would have sufficed til we got to 6 million. Pig@thestudentroom.co.uk 13:46, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Revert 16/9/06 justification
I have reverted edits made by Ninman on the basis that it:
- Refers to himself;
- Appears to be a grievance held against pig and SilverWings;
- Links to a dubious and most definitely unencyclopaedic website.

[edit] Revert 18/9/06
I have reverted Ninman's entry again. This will be the 3rd revert (twice by myself and once by AntiVandalBot). Ninman is perfectly welcome to discuss his contributions here. CJHung 12:01, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bannings
I think it's important to mention the sites policies on banning members and how they treat members. There are many people who are unhappy with the way they are treated on the site, for example [1]. Ninman is a good example of that, he explains all on that thread, and there are many people who agree with him.
