Well, since I have received a couple of PM's about this I guess I should make this thread.
DISCLAIMER: I am not a staff member of this website and as such I am not claiming any managerial authority over this "side effort". Participating in this additional venture will be on a volunteer basis and this thread only serves to organize who is doing what. This effort is not coordinated or supported by the CWCki staff in any way.
The purpose of this thread is not financial support (Null is handling that with the other thread, so please contribute monetary support there), this thread is where you can help out in assisting with the replacement of the more intangible items potentially lost to the fire at 14BC. Namely, these items are the artifacts of the Sonichu mythos, Chris' artwork and creative ventures, and family mementos. We can't replace the originals, but using the archives of the CWCki we can at least try to send some comfort to Chris by means of giving him some record of the past ~15 years of his life.
The goal here is to re-create physical copies of items to the best of your ability. Sending him an .ISO of his DVD or a CD won't suffice. It should be a playable format presented as close to the original as you can get (e.g. getting an actual DVD case, printing out the DVD cover scan we have on quality paper, and assembling the item). With other more abstract concepts I guess the goal would be to make it presentable and tasteful.
PLEASE SEND COMPLETED PIECES TO STATE FARM AGENT KEVIN MANN:
Here are some suggestions as to what the CWCki archives can replace. If you'd like to volunteer to replace one of these, post in this thread and I will make edits accordingly. Additionally, if you have a suggestion for something not on this list (even if you do not wish to make it yourself), please post it here so I can add it and perhaps someone else will step in to work on it.

CHRISTIAN AND THE HEDGEHOG BOYS DISCOGRAPHY
Description: Audio recordings of Chris performing songs with altered lyrics. There are three albums, one of which was "Rosee & The Tomgirls". You will need an empty jewel case, a print out of the album art, and a blank CD to burn the music onto.
Volunteer(s): Protoman (obtaining the MP3's)
MANCHESTER HIGH SENIOR YEARBOOK
Description: Chris has shared a TON of scans of this yearbook. We could try to collect these scans and reconstruct a yearbook to the best of our ability using what we have. (Visual shots of the cover in the Lego video, names of the people in the photo filenames, etc.) MHS' website is here: http://www.manchesterhs.mychesterfields ... igh_School (You may be able to contact them and purchase/request they send out a yearbook for Chris.)

CHANDLER FAMILY PHOTO ALBUM
Description: Chris' DVD was loaded with pictures of his family. Not the Love Quest ones or the awkward pictures, but genuine family photos. We could compile these into a small album for him and Barb. Filenames from the CWCki could be used to subtitle many of the photos (e.g. "Chris' 5th Birthday").
Volunteer(s):
CHANDLER FAMILY PHOTOS (FRAMED)
Description: Same as the above idea, however this would be a couple of the better family pictures printed out and presented in a small frame (given their resolution) to hang on the wall or set on a desk. Many people could offer to do one or two of these, materials would run you about $10 for printing, framing, and shipping. Goodwill has tons of great frames with sentiments like "Family" and "Memories" and such on them.

Please try to keep argumentative comments to a minimum here. If you believe this to be a bad idea, please don't clutter the thread with flaming or trolling. It has been suggested that sending Chris things to "remind him of the trolling" would be in bad taste, but that is not the goal here. When I originally offered to send him his comics it was out of respect for the work he had put into creating them and the importance that the Sonichu character played in his life. Chris should not be denied the privilege of taking a trip down memory lane when he is older, he should be able to see his artwork whenever he wants if it was as important to him as he claims.
UPDATE 1/17/2014: Given the recent turn of events with The Chandlers saying some disparaging things about the brave firefighters who extinguished the blaze in their house many of the supporters of this project have understandably retracted their offers. The urge to replace sentimental items lost to the fire has essentially vanished, but if you'd like to contribute I request that this thread be left open so you may post your claims here. I will continue to edit the OP and supervise this thread.
