December 01, 2005, "Wetpaint" was the name Wikisphere decided to take as it's new official title. Wikisphere was a wiki host that did solely custom work.
In March of 2006, Wetpaint decided to test market the idea of free wiki hosting. In June, 2006, Wetpaint became a free wiki host to all. Some of the first sites to take use of Wetpaint are still here today. Xbox360 and EMGN Gaming. wikiFido was the original wiki on the Wetpaint network. That was Wetpaint's original testing wiki..some other orignal wikis are wikiDemocrat, wikiGOP, and wikiSandbox. As word got around about Wetpaint, there became a need to have a help site. So in Sep 2006 Heidianna created "The Moderator Lounge", but later adopted the name "Wetpaint Central" when threads about problems, new features, and other things started popping up.

You can self custom any profile page. Just delete each sector;for example, Hello my name is: delete this part and write in what you want; My Vitals, once again delete this;put in what you want. You can do this to the whole Profile Page, including the photo sections. When you come to the tappered lines (-------) Again delete them. Wetapint Profile Pages are not fixed so that they can't be customized. I hope this helps.

If you have a chatroom and it seems a little dull, put a playlist up! It always seems a little better to have music playing.

I have finally found out an extremely useful way to "delete" a site! And it totally works! Just follow these steps!
*NOTE* This only works correctly if you are the Creator. If the Creator has cancelled their membership already, or if they came back from cancelling their membership, but have returned as an admin, that works as well, but ONLY if you are an admin. 1 - Ban EVERY member the site! 2 - Make the site PRIVATE! 3 - Cancel your membership. BINGO! Now, nobody (except for the Wetpaint Team, of course) can acess your site! Not even you! Now, here is a step-by-step way to make your site "look good" while it is dead. 1 - Remove every members' profile image, and delete all content off of their profile. 2 - Remove the site banner (if it has one) 3 - Rename your site to "Sorry!" 4 - Make the site description "Sorry, but this site no longer exists!" 5 - Delete every page, remove all content off of the homepage, and change the homepage's name to "Home". 6 - Change ever members' slogan to "..." 7 - Change your site's "style" to the solid black style known as "Islander". There you have it! Hope it helps!

(August 06, 2010)
As many of you may know, there have been many spambots joining some sites around Wetpaint. Mostly, it is sites that have special features. (I.E. Custom Domain, Custom Navigation, Threads removed off of homepage, Centered Format, etc.) Mine, has been one of them. So, I know what they try to do. They join, and most of the time, fill their profiles with images and videos including porn, and adult and dating sites. Which, on most sites, is unacceptable. -- So, here are some things to look out for to be able to tell if you have one join your site. 1. Most of the usernames include words like "Horny", "Kissing", "Perfect", or "Pretty." 2. Most of the usernames, but not all of them, include double numbers. (I.E. 3535, 4242) Or, they can be four of the same number. (I.E. 0000, 1111) 3. Look for common names in the username. (I.E. George, John, Emily) 4. Check your updates section frequently (www.yourdomainhere.wetpaint.com/whatsnew) to see if they have posted anything on their profiles. Most of the time it will say something like this: "PerfectEmily3535 posted 655 words, 10 images on their profile page." If you see something like this, go to their profile, and you should ban them. If you see a member join with any of the above similarities in their username, you should ban them IMMEDIATELY. But, you may wait. Becuase they may be a real user. Usually, they will post inappropiate stuff as soon as they join. If they do, then ban them for sure. -- What you can do to stop them: To keep them from joining, make your site private for a little bit of time. (I.E. 1 hour) Then inform Jeremy_Wetpaint about the usernames so he can I.P. ban the users. -- If you have any more tips, post them on this thread!

Need help with layouts?
~~ Use tables to guide you and help you in your layouts... *Tables can help you improve your designs *They can make your design unique and colorful *They can help you show you presentation more and add content carefully *They help with understanding links, images, etc. ~~ Just experiment and you can have some awesom layouts.... Don't steal them though, or you could get caught. |

Best way is to do the way I did!
Tired of Canceling your membership on your creator account and having to be an admin while taking risk of being banned by another admin? I have a way! Create an account for your wetpaint sites. Mine is Katriel's_Websites For example you are Jack's_Wikis Create a site on this account. Log in to your real account. For example, let's say you are Jackisbest5456 Go on your Jack's_Wikis account and make your Jackisbest5456 an admin. DO NOT cancel the membership of Jack's_Wikis Then, if one of your admins is really a traitor/hacker or whatever and bans your account, you can go on the Jack's_Wikis account and ban him and unban your normal account and all other banned people and fix your site back up. There you have it! You can also change your username from Jackisbest5456 to Jack_Is_Best WITHOUT losing your power as creator! |

If you want a sucsessfull site you need to make it have a fun atmosphere. Help some people out advertise but the most important thing to know is what you give back to them. Because on my sites I always give the people that join my site my undivided attention. And don't just give them compliments just because they are your freind but because they earned it. You need to make people enjoy your site by putting something that they would want on your site. Give them a page that they can edit. Everyone would like to be a part of your site. Ask them questions though messages and ask ideas
To have a sucsessful site the layout and logos are very important. If you're stuck on you logos go to http://cooltext.com/ And if someone complains about you're site don't ban them listen. Also Put a feedback page on your own individual sites because it's better to hear from others about it Turtulehead

I think that making freinds on wetpaint is a thing that is very important. BUT IT IS PRETTY HARD TO DO.
Ways of getting freinds 1. Complimenting them but not because you want them to be your freind but for something they've done 2. Pot luck if they pick you or not 3. Sending them a message to them saying why you want to be their freind, what they would get back from it and how you could help them Feedback Moving on to the topic of feedback I think it's good to have a feedback page on your own sites because you can see where things are going wrong and how you can correct them

For your own site I would advise you to put a feedback page on because you can find out where you can improve and whats already good and when you know that you can keep going better and better until you have the perfect site it's also good to have a help page on your site like this site. People might not be able to acsess your site because the link may be broken so you need to advise them( mabye through other sites) what to do

Do you need an answer on how to do something with your Wetpaint Wiki? Instead of browsing through the many FAQs and Help files, or posting a thread, just type your question into your browser's search engine. I prefer Google's search.
If you are looking to find out how to add a photo to your page, simply type the question in the search box of your browser. Example 1 How do I add a photo to wetpaint pages The question above will return all sites on wetpaint that have instructions on how to add a photo to a page, including the page on Wetpaint Central. Example 2 How do I delete my site from wetpaint This will return the information needed to delete your wiki. It is fast and easy, and normally will save you time awaiting for someone to respond with a link to the answer in WetpaintCentral threads.

I talked about this in a previous thread, but I seem not to have explained myself well enough.
If you have a user who posts an inappropriate/irrelevant thread, and they or someone else replies to it, you can make it disappear from the Site Activity list by going through the offending thread and deleting all replies before using the Moderator Tools to delete the whole thread. This will even remove the entry from the users profile page. The same is also true of page contributions. If you delete a page version with bad material on it, it will make it vanish from the page contributions list. http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/photo/9026698/Bad+example+of+deleting+a+thread http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/photo/9026699/Bad+example+of+deleting+a+thread+2 As you can see in the above images, if you delete a thread without deleting the replies, it still appears on the Site Activity list, but when you click on the link it shows it was deleted. But if the name of the thread itself was bad, then you will still be able to see it. I hope what I posted here will help. |

| CryingDove | A Note About Viruses and How You Get Them | 0 | Jan 29 2010, 11:07 AM EST by CryingDove | ||||

Computer viruses are often spread by attachments in e-mail messages or instant messaging messages on the internet, (not Wetpaint IM or Email). That is why it is essential that you never open e-mail attachments unless you know who it's from and you are expecting it. This doesn't mean a friend who has contacted a virus cannot send you in email, unknowingly, an infected attached file.
Viruses can be disguised as attachments of funny images, greeting cards, or audio and video files. Computer viruses also spread through downloads on the Internet. They can be hidden in illicit software or other files or programs you might download. IMPORTANT "To help avoid computer viruses, it's essential that you keep your computer current with the latest updates and anti-virus tools, stay informed about recent threats, run your computer as a standard user (not as administrator), and that you follow a few basic rules when you surf the Internet, download files, and open attachments." Once a virus is on your computer, its type or the method it used to get there is not as important as removing it and preventing further infection. Antivirus Live is one of many fake antivirus applications like Advanced Virus Remover and Internet Security 2010, that are really rogue viruses that take your computer hostage—then they tell you that your computer is infected by viruses, and you have to pay them to get rid of the fake viruses that aren’t really there. It’s a huge problem, and they are not easy to remove, because they block virtually everything you try and run, including real anti-malware tools. Step by Step instructions on how to remove Anti-Virus Live http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/8693/how-to-remove-antivirus-live-and-other-roguefake-antivirus-malware/ This is a link to a free portable scanner that will remove Anti Virus Live and other rogue viruses. http://www.superantispyware.com/portablescanner.html |
