Planetcricket 11th Birthday - About us complete summary

[The Spin]

Nice to bring up a thread which is more than a year old

WOW!! That was amazing!! I didn't know Planetcricket had such a intense history with suspense and almost EVERYTHING! I found out this site when I one day, felt stupid and wondered wether cricket games could be edited and if add-ons could be added. How stupid I was, when I didn't think cricket games could be modded. Thank god I found this site! I feel patriotic to be a Planetcricket member, or a Planetcricketorian! The end was pretty sad, and if it was a movie, boy-o-boy, it would be such a hit!!

To sum it all up in the end, we got to thank barmyarmy and Ste for bringing this up, and also for the guys who made www.planetcricket.org, and all the guys who helped out then and now.
Thanks, and cheers
Danny
P.S. The end was pretty touching

i can still remember looking at barmyarmy's (i think) 2GB bat pack for cric04 and thinking "ill never finish downloading 2GB!"

 

[rzilla_dsv]

whoa! 2gb!! Thats pretty big!what was it?

 

[barmyarmy]

2GB meant 2nd Generation Bat not 2 gigabytes (like 4GB)
We should really try and say something about the last 4 years!

I had wondered how much bats there would be in 2GB of data! :cool:

OK, our Planetcricket entry has been deleted off the Wikipedia citing some stupid reasons unless some users did post some objectionable stuff there.

Haha, took me a year to figure that one out.

The reasons are perfectly fine. The article did not use any outside sources, and was bound to be deleted.

Haha, took me a year to figure that one out.

I was 11 that time and I and my friend were searching for new bats for ck04, when we saw that page, my friend asked me to download it (he had little computer knowledge), I thought he wouldn't understand how big 2gb meant (I thought 2gb meant 2 giga-byte), so I told him it was not compatible with my pc.

Surely a Planetcricket moderator is a good enough source?

Not really, when they're writing about PlanetCricket. Hardly independent are they?

True, but it would be accurate enough at least.

Accuracy is not the point. Sources on wikipedia need to be completely independent AND already published. Practically none of the material in the article that got deleted was published outside of this website, hence it was completely unreferenced.
