Forum or Wiki

[Rockwolf66]

I'm taking part(playing and Running) several online games and I was wondering what people think is the best way to keep the game information organized....Host a forum so that everyone can post their characters and put down information or should the game start a Wiki about the game and keep in game information that way?

What are the pros and cons of each method?

I think you should just make a well organized thread HERE.

Forums, like this one, are easier typically for the average person to take part in.

Wikis I think are for a more polished look. Maybe have the players use a forum for themselves to post things (proboards is pretty simple to use and is free) and the GM use a wiki to post the more polished versions of thing (ie new armour and weapons etc)

I did a forum first. I am doing a wiki now. Mostly because I want the more polished look a wiki allows for. Forums are definitely better imo for interaction though wiki does have a blog setup that can be used.

I have a forum for my group, but I have been thinking along the lines of what Jaymz is doing for a bit now. So my answer is: Both! Use a forum of quick and easy communication and display of player ideas and re-caps of sessions (several of us keep in-character game journals).
