It's been a productive month here at ninjette.org. A short while ago, we launched a new wiki on the site. It can be reached right at http://wiki.ninjette.org, and there's all of the launch information right in this thread:

http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=20820

A few of our more websavvy members have been pushing for a wiki-like structure for awhile to help organize some of the ninjette technical information, and I hope that this will become a very useful section of the website. We're using the most widely supported wiki tool (mediawiki), with a few custom plug-ins to allow it to link pretty seamlessly with the rest of our site. I'm very eager to see how the wiki can grow. While I don't expect it to be all gangbusters in the immediate future, I think people will begin to see its worth sooner rather than later, and it could really become something we're all pretty proud of. Many of the most often-linked technical threads are already represented over there, and more are added each day. Just like Wikipedia, any of us can add new pages to the NinjetteWiki or edit any of the already existing pages with only a few keystrokes.

On perhaps a much less useful but perhaps more entertaining note, we also have a brand-new arcade on the site! Here's a direct link:

150+ different games, and the highscores are saved so we can all compete against each other for bragging rights. Amazingly, people have played over 7400 games already in just the short time it's been live. There are old favorites like Asteroids, Space Invaders, and Frogger, along with a whole pile of games that may not have quite the same name recognition.

Our site membership is growing faster than ever as well; we just passed 1000 members a few days ago, along with the 50,000 post milestone at right about the same time! Some of our members have even found some time to step away from their computers and actually meet up for some rides, which I think is the point of this whole thing. :-) Check out the Group Rides section of the website for the latest details on some of the more organized rides. I have posted up another ninjette.org day ride for Saturday, June 27th here in the SF Bay Area, and expect it to be just as much fun as we all had last month.

Thanks again for all of your support for ninjette.org so far. I couldn't be happier about how this place has grown over the past few months, and I'm glad that people are getting some enjoyment out of it.

Best regards,
- Alex

(Ninjette.org doesn't plan to send out more than one of these per month, but if you'd prefer to not receive these going forward, you can edit your options here: http://www.ninjette.org/forums/profi...do=editoptions , and choose to not receive administration emails from the site)
