She's banhappy on those who know more about fandoms than she does, and surrounds herself with yes-people who don't call her to task for making poor decisions. Avoid it at all costs. So says someone who tried to help and got burned.

It's been around for years. And yeah, it is a bit controversial in fandom, due to biased descriptions of major fandom kerfluffles. Actually, the Fan History Wiki isn’t “launching” - it’s hardly new.

Just FYI.
