The documentation or transfer of information from GWGuru[edit]

Hey wiki community. As posted by Stephane, Guild Wars Guru will be shutting down and entering into archival mode as of July 1st, 2016.

It goes without saying that GWGuru has had a large impact on the GW community over the years. Currently they are documented as existing on the wiki (yay wiki checkmark), but there is a possibility that some of their community members may wish to document some of the content which is on that site.

A few things I'd like to make clear:

  1. I've created this talk page in the main space. This does not mean I believe documentation should be here. Where it's documented, if at all, is a matter of discussion.
  2. I've read through Curse's Terms of Service and there are some points of note, such as:
    • Curse being given non-exclusive rights to User Submissions;
    • Posting to their forums does not appear to be GFDL compliant as our copyright rules require;
    • Linking to a page hosted by Curse is allowed;
    • While I've had to read many contracts in my life, I'm not a legal expert, so I may have missed some other points of note.
  3. Members of the GWGuru community have not expressed an opinion that I know of on this matter.

Please feel free to express your thoughts or concerns on this matter below. Obviously it would be best to hear if the GWGuru community is interested before we go too deeply into this discussion. Thank you. G R E E N E R 17:09, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
