• 03 May 2017: Spambot alert (Frabby)

A slew of spambots has managed to register accounts, and is using these to create gibberish articles. Users are encouraged to immediately introduce themselves on their user page and/or talk page when setting up a new user account, to avoid being lumped in with the spambot accounts and being summarily blocked or deleted with extreme prejudice.

• 01 January 2017: Happy New Year (Frabby)

2016 is over, and even though the overall yearly amount of new articles seems to be decreasing slowly compared to the early boom years (a sign that we're getting somewhere with this wiki project), Sarna BTW has rushed past the 20,000 article count and has seen over 700 new articles created. Let's hope we can keep it up in the new year.
2017 is bound to be great as BattleTech goes. Several major releases have been announced, not only from CGL but also (tentatively) from Harebrained Schemes with their BattleTech video game and from Piranha Games with their announced single-player MechWarrior 5 game, both of which will draw even more new players into our little universe.
