Hey all. Just a general question from a user that has been around for a while but not active on the forums.
When you visit a wiki, what do you look for? Is it GM content, page looks, player involvement, game subject or anything else?
Specifically for player journals is it form or function. In our game we have a few very creative players making a fun look for their journals along with great content and a few that use the basic formatting but also have great content.
I am currently a player in what looks like a pretty active game and while the GM does the lions share of the work, as is always the case, I try to keep up my end with a good journal. We have 6 players and 5 of us keep our journals updated regularly and the GM is constantly keeping up the site, with player and viewer suggestions.
Thanks in advance and have fun gaming.

I look for page look and player involvement. I know that player involvement is rare, so I really pay attention when the players are involved.
Your campaign is in my top 25 in my profile- it is a great campaign!

In other words, if it's got enough polish to catch my eye, I'll take a look around. If it's actually fun to look at, then I'll dig in and spend some time there. Like Arsheesh, my time has gotten more limited than it used to be and I don't usually have extended periods that I can spend doing one thing. If it's worth the time, though, I'll keep coming back. :)

Thanks a bunch for your input. It looks like something shiny grabs the attention and then the content keeps it, for the most part. I have been doing my journal as one block of text. Maybe I need to look at some of the other journals that our party is doing and make mine look as good as theirs. Then hopefully the content keeps yall coming back, hehe.
Thanks and enjoy your gaming =D

Then, it has to have a good presentation to catch my attention.
Once my attention is caught, then I read through the content - player and GM alike
If it is all good quality, it goes on my favorites
