Back in 2003 I set up a postnuke portal-type site for our 40th Reunion, and that was (IMHO) a bit of a flop, partly because no one but me actually posted anything (well, almost no one) - probably because it wasn't so obvious how to do so. Also it got hacked by spammers and pornographers, which was a hassle and a hazard, so I took it down. (Well, actually, I just put it back up again, as the link above indicates, just in case anyone feels nostalgic. We'll see how long it takes the hackers to find it this time.)
By contrast, a wiki site like this is a little less susceptible to hackers, since anything can be summarily deleted and/or reverted and abusers can be locked out with a few keystrokes. Also if you have ever played with the WikipediA you know how this works and (I hope!) will not be timid about registering yourself, hitting that little edit tab and adding your $0.02 worth. Look what it did for them/us! (Of course, now they have their own problems due to the unprecedented impact of the world's greatest encyclopedia. Nothing fails like success.)
Anyway, rather than pretty up this main page, I'm going to leave that to you (for now) and add a couple of essential subpages (you can create more if you like):
Cranbrook Class of 1963 - Life Stories
Cranbrook Class of 1963 - 45th Reunion
Cranbrook Class of 1963 - Gossip
