== History ==
== History ==
Max the Mug had been trying to put together an encyclopædic fansite since 2000, a project which had by 2002 become known as ‘The Oddworld Encyclopedia’. He had more success with OddBlog, originally a personal blog before it started reporting news under the advice and, later, contribution of Xavier, who had previously been a reporter of Oddworld news on Oddworld Maniac, Oddworld News and [[Oddworld-Web]]. Xavier had himself been planning on launching an Oddworld image gallery. During a three-way conversation between Max, Xavier and Oddsville, the three decided to combine their sites (with Oddsville running The Oddworld Archives, the original name of the [[Oddworld Scriptures]]) into one, initially calling themselves the Shaman Network.
=== Conception ===
Oddworld Library originated as four separate projects: OddBlog, The Oddworld Encyclopedia, The Oddworld Graphics Gallery and The Oddworld Archives. The first two were created by [[Wil Bunce-Edwards]], and the second two by [[Xavier De Coster]].
 
Wil first began working on an Oddworld fansite in 2000. His first attempt was a webpage on the early webhosting service Xoom, which he called ‘'''The Kennels'''’. This early incarnation presented visitors with a guided tour of the eponymous Kennels (essentially a zoo of [[List of Oddworld species|Oddworld creatures]] known at the time) led by a conjoined-twin Glukkon named Glasp.<ref name="namedKennels"/> By 2001, the project changed to one more encyclopedic in tone called ‘'''The Scrabacombs'''’,<ref name="namedScrabacombs"/> but by 2002 this was again renamed to ‘The Oddworld Encyclopedia’ to reflect Wil’s nickname on the Oddworld Forums.<ref name="renamedEncyclopedia"/>
 
Wil created OddBlog on uJournal on 7th August 2003, originally as a personal blog where he would post personal thoughts and updates to the Oddworld Encyclopedia project, leaving actual Oddworld news for an un-yet-unreleased part of the Encyclopedia named the ‘'''News Station'''’.<ref name="oddblogFirstPost"/> However, under the advice of Xavier, he began posting Oddworld development and community news on OddBlog. On 6th December, Xavier began posting on OddBlog, originally on a temporary basis while Wil was absent,<ref name="oddblogXavTemporary"/> but on 16th Dec, Wil announced that Xavier was now a permanent reporter.<ref name="oddblogXavPermanent"/> Xavier had previously been a reporter of Oddworld news on [[Oddworld Maniac]], [[Oddworld News]] and [[Oddworld-Web]]. OddBlog migrated from uJournal to Blogger in January 2004.<ref name="oddblogBlogger"/>


Oddsville’s involvement in the group diminished and Xavier took over The Oddworld Archives. OddBlog launched in February 2004,<ref name="oddblogLaunch"/>, and TOGG and the Archives launched in February<ref name="toggLaunch"/> and September<ref name="toaLaunch"/> 2005 respectively, both hosted on [[Alcar]]’s [[Oddworld Universe]] until it went down February 2006.<ref name="universeDown"/> TOGG and the Archives returned on the Library’s server the following month<ref name="toggReturn"/><ref name="toaReturn"/>, in time for the opening of The Oddworld Encyclopædia to mark the official launch of The Oddworld Library.<ref name="libraryLaunch"/>
Wil, Xav, and a third member of the Oddworld Forums, Oddsville, who had previously owned the fansite [[Oddville]], began making plans to unite their fansites into one, calling themselves the ‘'''Shaman Network'''’: All three would share OddBlog, Wil would be in charge of The Oddworld Encyclopedia, and Xavier would create an Oddworld image gallery to take over his management of the [[Picture Request Thread]] on the [[Oddworld Forums]]; Oddsville would take responsibility for the fourth part of the Network, a collection of Oddworld press interviews that at the time was named ‘The Oddworld Archives’. However, Oddsville’s involvement in the group diminished and Xavier took over the Archives. Nevertheless, Wil and Xavier persisted in their plan to combine sites, and they eventually settled on the name ‘The Oddworld Library’.


The Oddworld Library relaunched in October 2006 with the Oddworld Archives name now applying to the collection of media archives, initially TOGG and the new Oddworld Cinema.<ref name="tol2"/> The interview archives were removed to be redeveloped, only returning as [[The Oddworld Scriptures]] in April 2008.<ref name="scriptures"/>

History

Conception

Oddworld Library originated as four separate projects: OddBlog, The Oddworld Encyclopedia, The Oddworld Graphics Gallery and The Oddworld Archives. The first two were created by Wil Bunce-Edwards, and the second two by Xavier De Coster.

Wil first began working on an Oddworld fansite in 2000. His first attempt was a webpage on the early webhosting service Xoom, which he called ‘The Kennels’. This early incarnation presented visitors with a guided tour of the eponymous Kennels (essentially a zoo of Oddworld creatures known at the time) led by a conjoined-twin Glukkon named Glasp.[1] By 2001, the project changed to one more encyclopedic in tone called ‘The Scrabacombs’,[2] but by 2002 this was again renamed to ‘The Oddworld Encyclopedia’ to reflect Wil’s nickname on the Oddworld Forums.[3]

Wil created OddBlog on uJournal on 7th August 2003, originally as a personal blog where he would post personal thoughts and updates to the Oddworld Encyclopedia project, leaving actual Oddworld news for an un-yet-unreleased part of the Encyclopedia named the ‘News Station’.[4] However, under the advice of Xavier, he began posting Oddworld development and community news on OddBlog. On 6th December, Xavier began posting on OddBlog, originally on a temporary basis while Wil was absent,[5] but on 16th Dec, Wil announced that Xavier was now a permanent reporter.[6] Xavier had previously been a reporter of Oddworld news on Oddworld Maniac, Oddworld News and Oddworld-Web. OddBlog migrated from uJournal to Blogger in January 2004.[7]

Wil, Xav, and a third member of the Oddworld Forums, Oddsville, who had previously owned the fansite Oddville, began making plans to unite their fansites into one, calling themselves the ‘Shaman Network’: All three would share OddBlog, Wil would be in charge of The Oddworld Encyclopedia, and Xavier would create an Oddworld image gallery to take over his management of the Picture Request Thread on the Oddworld Forums; Oddsville would take responsibility for the fourth part of the Network, a collection of Oddworld press interviews that at the time was named ‘The Oddworld Archives’. However, Oddsville’s involvement in the group diminished and Xavier took over the Archives. Nevertheless, Wil and Xavier persisted in their plan to combine sites, and they eventually settled on the name ‘The Oddworld Library’.

Launch

Although OddBlog had always been publicly accessible, it was formally launched in February 2004 with the slogan bringing you true bijoux of Oddworld news when it was first announced on the Oddworld Forums and the link was publicly shared.[8]. Xavier created his image gallery, called ‘The Oddworld Graphics Gallery’ (or TOGG), and launched it in February 2005,[9] which was followed in September by The Oddworld Archives.[10] Despite officially being part of The Oddworld Library, both of Xavier's sites were originally hosted on Alcar’s fansite, Oddworld Universe, but after that went down in February 2006,[11] TOGG and the Archives moved to the Library’s server within the month.[12][13]

The Oddworld Library was officially launched on 1st April 2006 with the opening of The Oddworld Encyclopedia.[14] The first articles on the Encyclopedia were actually a number of joke articles written for April Fool’s Day. These were replaced the following day with 18 genuine articles, collectively branded as ‘Wave One’, with a ‘Wave Two’ of 15 additional articles being uploaded on 13th April.

First Two Years

In October 2006, The Oddworld Archives were taken down and the name reused as an umbrella for TOGG and the Library's newest section, an archive of Oddworld videos called ‘The Oddworld Cinema’. At the same time, the site was also added to with ‘OddBlog Specials’ where exclusive stories and interviews could be highlighted, the Bulletin Board where site updates would be posted, and syndication feeds for both OddBlog and the Bulletin Board. These simultaneous updates were branded as The Oddworld Library’s first relaunch.[15]

The Oddworld Forums became a sponsor of the Oddworld Library in January 2008 by adding a link to the fansite at the top of every page, alongside links to the fansites of its owners, Abe Babe’s Oddworld-Web and Alcar’s Oddworld Universe.[16]

Second Anniversary

The Oddworld Library celebrated its second anniversary since its official launch on 1st April 2008. To mark the occasion, its archive of press interviews returned in a new section of The Oddworld Archives, called ‘The Oddworld Scriptures’, developed by Wil. In addition, although only 1 new article had been published on The Oddworld Encyclopedia since its first month, TOE was updated with 8 new article, 3 navigational pages and 1 updated article. This updated article on Fleeches was the first to use a reference list of cited sources, and came with a button to hide the inline citations if visitors found them annoying. Wil referred to these updates as the start of a period of increased attention on TOE.[17]

Third Year

In July 2008, two social network accounts were opened for The Oddworld Library: an Oddworld Cinema YouTube channel and an Oddworld Library Twitter account.[18][19][20]
