Looks like you found just about every druid resource I've seen or heard of, plus a lot more. I know more about the feral side of druids than Balance or resto, and one guide stands out. I remember Jasica's guide to druid tanking because it's outdated and full of bad advice. Spam Maul and Swipe? Stack Str and AP?

Other than that, excellent compilation, possibly worth getting stickied.

I'm mostly feral myself, so finding Resto and Balanced stuff was a little more difficult. I added Jasica's guide because it popped up on Alla's guides and really only breezed through it. ^^;;;;;;

I'll look at it in the morning with less tired eyes and junk it.

Rate-down. The sticky on this forum is bad enough. By making all this information so conveniently accessible, you've completely taken away all my excuses to suck.

(Kidding ofc. I'm in favor of the motion to sticky.)

I can't say I'm super familiar with wiki the format but I'll work on getting it to look ship shape (or at least how I like it. >..>;;). Thank You. ^^

^^ Added "Of Teeth and Claws" blog. I don't want to go over board on blogs or over represent ferals, just going to stick to the main stream ones. "Of Teeth and Claws" and "Adventures in Azeroth" both have a excellent list of categorized druid blogs. (Can be found on the right hand side of the main pages.)

For the wiki stuff, if you want to take a stab at it there, we have a nice help section here for you: http://wow.allakhazam.com/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions

It takes a little getting used to but it's not a whole lot different than html, the tags are a little different is all for the basics.

Is any one that isn't me going to volunteer to update this thread with a new one?

I think it is a good thread idea but is fairly out of date and Gryphon hasn't posted in months to my knowledge.

Anyone know if she is still playing or anything?

Whoever does should remove the feral druid numbers thread link as it is now well and truly out of date and I don't feel motivated enough to re-do it at this stage. Never seems to be enough time for everything these days...

Hey Horse and Druid Forums, it's been a while. :)
Yes I did hang up my WoW towel many moons ago but have thought of updating this and the thread I have in general forums for a long time but like Friar RareBeast can't seem to actually get motivated to do it. I still for some reason skim WoWInsider and MMO Champion daily but am completely out of the loop on all the inner workings of the Druid Class.

I had been toying with asking if I could clean it up a bit and post it under the DruidSock handle and see if anyone was interested in maintaining it or just straight out handing it off if anyone was interested.

First I'll work on the one in general and make an official plea for new management. Then see if anyone here is interested in the druid one.

Happy Holiday's Everyone!

Well, got the bare bones of it up and running under the DruidSock handle. Removed all outdated links (only exceptions should be getting updated soon) and redirected all broken and old links. I also added at least one guide to each spec as a starting point, I'm sure many more guides will pop up as the expansion gets simmering. :)
