What is the Watercooler?

It's a haven in the middle of a harsh, 9-to-5 world. A place where you can gather with your fellow human beings and bond over a paper cup full of cool refreshment.

All sorts of randomness is welcome here. Post pictures, videos, special Chat information, or just discuss news and current events.

TheOtaku Wikipedia

Hey, Kastom here.

So I know that theO USE to have a wiki article, but it got torn down. Well, I'm a stubborn kind of person (as well as slightly bored, lol), so I went ahead and built a basic outline for TheOtaku on wiki.

It's not much, but I believe I got at least a few of the key things down.

I'm thinking that if enough of us work on it, and make it a good article, then it will not be stripped away again. So everyone! Help me out, and put your thoughts into it!

TheOtaku wiki.

Let's put theO back on the Internet encyclopedia!

Cheers,

- Kastom

EDIT: Bastards deleted it! And I cannot find any form of a save of it! ALL THAT HARD WORK. GONE. OVER AN HOUR WASTED.
...
...

I tried.

And failed.

*runs off crying*

EDIT AGAIN: The guy that deleted it put in on my user page. So at least it's not lost! Wooooo!

So basically, back to it again! If anyone wants to work on it, it's here.

Also, the Admin guy that deleted it said that I should look at this page for more info as to how to make it acceptable. So if anyone is interested in seriously working on this, I highly suggest checking out that page.

Anyways, check it out and tell me what you think. It is a very basic, and not particularly well written piece yet, as I only spent a little bit of time on it in a very hastily manner.

If you want, help me out with it! We do totally deserve a page!

Who is The Otaku of the Year?

Since 2008 will end in a few days, I think it's about time we decide who is The Otaku of the Year here in theOtaku. Who do you think should it be?

- Should it be Adam, for launching Version Vibrant and the ever-controversial theOtaku chat?
- Should it be TimeChaser, for finally giving otaku randomness a new home in The Watercooler?
- Should it be Sangome, for providing humor in the site through the Chatlogs and the Memes?
- Should it be Shahllen, for being the "whistleblower" on the age problem in theOtaku?
- Should it be SomeGuy, for holding the successful Halloween Writer's Jam and for founding the Writer's Bloc?
- Should it be Ichigo, Batou, & the podcast team, for entertaining otakus even though one of them got kidnapped by the Koreans(?) ?
- Should it be Shinmaru, for winning the Writer's Jam and for being a source of bad luck ("It's all Shin's fault)?
- Should it be the Bootleg News Reporter team, for delivering the otaku news at a time when otakus need it most?
- Should it be DeidaraNarutoClan, for creating Teh Biju Club, which surprised many by becoming the site's No. 1 World?
- Should it be someone else, for a reason I don't know but you possibly do?

Write your pick in the Comments section with your reason. Entries will be accepted until 11:59 pm of December 29, 2008 (Monday), theOtaku time.
