What's '''ArmchairGM'''? We are is a '''fan-based sports community''' originally built on a heavily customized {{tag|MediaWiki}} (Wikipedia) engine that combines blogs, news, and voting, with the power of a sports-wiki. ArmchairGM joined was bought by {{tag|Wikia}} in December 2006for $2 million. Parts of the ArmchairGM codebase were open-sourced in early 2008<!-- see the earliest history entry at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:SocialProfile&offset=&limit=500&action=history -->, and in early 2009<!-- http://web.archive.org/web/20100220055843/http://armchairgm.wikia.com/Lockerroom:One_Year_Ago..._A_mistake_was_made.#comment-286956 ; according to http://www.timebie.com/calc/datesubtract.php, Pean's comment was posted on 5 April 2009 --> the developers and founders of ArmchairGM were laid off. By early 2010, Wikia had dropped support for ArmchairGM and considered it "a failed project", in the words of their then-CEO.<!-- http://web.archive.org/web/20100220093052/http://armchairgm.wikia.com/Lockerroom:ArmchairGM's_current_(technical)_status --> Somewhere between 8 August 2010 and 10 February 2011, ArmchairGM was migrated from its own codebase into the standard Wikia codebase and Wikia's Oasis skin. During this migration, a lot of the site's original content was lost, in addition to many features which were unique to ArmchairGM back in the day. <!-- 8 August 2010 snapshot: http://web.archive.org/web/20100805065032/http://armchairgm.wikia.com/Main_Page vs. 10 February 2011 snapshot: http://web.archive.org/web/20110210195647/http://armchairgm.wikia.com/Main_Page Statistics:3 August 2009: http://web.archive.org/web/20090409073732/http://armchairgm.wikia.com/Special:Statistics "There are 379,461 total pages in the database.
