ZeldaInformer is a website on the VGRC Networks specifically devoted to the Legend of Zelda and the related online community. It was created in the summer of 2007 through the efforts of a number of dedicated fans, primarily working out of Zelda Universe. The site opened officially on July 16, 2007.

History

In early 2007, a number of problems arose within the Zelda Universe online community that many members felt were not properly being addressed by the local administration. A large group of users, still enamored with at least some part of ZU (which had, up until that point, a reputation as "unleaveable"), became disillusioned with the complete lack of quality control that seemed to be slowly but surely destroying their reputable website.

The revolution begins!

Some effort was made on ZU itself to recognize and address the issue, but it quickly became clear that, not only were many members unwilling to make changes, any attempt to even discuss the subject quickly degenerated into negative argument.

Concerned parties elected ahead to begin work behind the scenes, preparing a new site to which ZU members of a more classical idealology (both those older members who desired a return to the sort of Zelda forum they remembered and the newer members who had come to share their views) could escape.

Dennis Wyman (As the sympathizing ZU user 'Captain Cornflake') elected to develop a new community as a part of his network of gaming-related websites run by VG Resource Center. Borrowing inspiration from the similar VGRC project, HaloInformer, ZeldaInformer was born.

The site is still growing, but intends to reach an unparalleled level of informative excellence in the Legend of Zelda web-ring. Its users believe that they have the desire, ethic, knowledge, ability, and, most importantly, community to quickly reach this goal.

Community

ZeldaInformer is tied deeply into VG Resource Center, a gaming site run and maintained by friends of Captain Cornflake. Running off the same server and utilizing the IPBWI package, ZeldaInformer runs off of the VGRC userbase, which allows members to move seamlessly between the two sites, as well as HaloInformer.

Now this is a story all about how Zelda Universe got flipped turned upside down And I'd like to take a moment Stop fapping, you there! And I'll tell you how a revolution began in that website over there

In Connecticut, New England born an' raised On the Internets where I spent most of my days Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool And all raiding some furfags still in school When loads of member were up in no good Started failing hard in Zelda Universe I got in one little controversy and they all got scared And said we're moving with your mother and the staff in ZI

We argued and pleaded with them the other day But we packed our suitcases and sent us on our way We gave em a kissin and we gave em a raid I put my cPanel on and said I might aswell kick it

They wondered, first class, yo this is bad, Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass Is this what the people of ZeldaInformer livin like, Hmm this might be alright!

We whistled for validation and when we got validated The WHOIS said fresh and had a dice in the registrant If anything I could say that this site was rare But I thought now forget it, yo homes to ZeldaInformer

I pulled up to my site at about one or two And I yelled to the bitches what the fuck happened to ZI Looked at my VGRC I once finally had All the posts were gone cus bitches are bad
