The goal remains the same it has been for more than ten years: to gather together in one place every relevant detail about Max, his world and his many appearances.

This new platform has made the task of updating, expanding and correcting the contents ''much'' easier. The work continues and for a while you will run into unfinished and stub pages.

Eventually, all the pages will be "complete" - but the search for more information, the addition of details and the writings about it all will continue indefinitely.

In parallel with the content, I will be evolving the style to a more Max-like one, and you might encounter some quirks as a result of that. (As Max would say, "Sorry. S-Sorry.") If you're interested in the details of what's going on here behind the scenes, you can keep an eye on the [[And N-Now the News | updates]] page. Since ''ev-ev-everything'' is an update right now, it holds a summary of the overall work process and immediate plans.
