Of course, I don't knnow who you are or where you are, but a huge amount of thanks for the tremendous amount of work in transefering fights to the profiles. It was a huge job, Thanks also has to go to Archer for creating and managing the profiles for many years. A year or two ago it became apparent that we were in trouble with the fights in the profiles as the amount of fights increased dramatically. I tried to transfer the fights, but I was just too stupid to do it well. I was afraid that that part of the profile would never be updated. Then you stepped in and problem solved. I don't think many on the board know how much work goes into the profiles and especially the fights. Once again, many thanks for what you are doing

I second this and to others who work their socks off to keep the archives as up to date as they are. I know it's a hell of an effort.

I appreciate the work they do, and it is usually done very quickly.
I made an account, and would be willing to handle my own stuff if I was granted access.

Thank you for the kind words.
I only visit irregularly and got more and more irritated by the missing fights in the wiki.
I had a few spare days at the end of the last year and finally decided to sit down and code a little bot that essentially downloads a complete forum thread, creates the corresponding wiki pages and adds the links to the already existing pages. It's not fully automated as the bot will stop working for a lot of reasons like fight dates not matching on different pages or typos in fighter names but still it saves a huge amount of time. So no, I did not add all of those pages myself, rather my Laptop did while I was away and I only came back to manually fix errors. Personally, I think you guys do an incredible job of the keeping the archives up to date especially with the huge amount of content that is produced here.

Many, many thanks as well. If you could give us some guidelines, like the correct date format to use in our reports, we could help make sure there are fewer errors to go through.

Amazing! I always thought we needed a script/bot to do this insanely time consuming and tedious job (huge props to those who continue doing it regardless). Glad someone finally came along with the skills and time to create one! Thanks Neon!
