Wiki News
February 6 Have to give some props to dreamhost, as they looked at my database speed issues today and I think have taken care of them well for now. So in the future, just let me know whenever page loading seems to take excessively long, and I'll have it checked out.--Sockii 15:35, 6 February 2008 (PST)
February 5 Server speed problems seem to be resolved for the moment, though there have been some continued connectivity issues continuing today. If you experience more problems please contact sockii @ policefans . org so I can keep track and investigate.
February 4 We're aware of the suckiness of the page loading speed right now and have submitted a support ticket with our host about it.
February 2 The sandbox is open! Use it to practice and try out wiki coding without having to mess around with an already existing article.
February 1 PoliceWiki is working on the category structure to simplify browsing through the site before public launch.
February 1 User:Lkkinetic has been getting album cover art uploaded. Yay!
