"Well, this is Keanu Reeves we're talking about. We, his fans, are happy when a review comes out that doesn't call him the worst actor on the planet. "

what's new
31 August 2008: The About Us page has been updated with imaginary backup staff, plus new quote by ckage under In Defence.
27 August 2008: Due to problems with FreeWebTown, WINM will most likely be shifting over to its own domain soon. Until then, there's a shiny! donation button thing on the main page, for people who want to give me money support the website because domains aren't free. :D
24 August 2008: Two new entries in the WINM blog.
17 August 2008: Hi everyone; just to let you know that there probably won't be updates as often as before because I've just started university, and there's homework and other time-occupying things like that to do. Yep. Currently I think there is new stuff on the Wall and a quote by Scott Derrickson added, but that's it for the moment.
In the meantime, thanks for all the great comments in the guestbook! WINM has now had over 3,500 unique visitors. You all rock. (Except the ones who were directed here for insulting Mr. Reeves and saying that he stones and other bad things like that. You... pebble.)
3 August 2008: Updated the Wall, and added another new species, the Suicidal!Fish.
2 August 2008: Updated the fish database with a new species. Say hello to the Masochistic Fish.
30 July 2008: Just discovered a whole lot of formatting errors due to the new layout. Arrgggh. Will attempt to fix them and/or edit the layout such that everything is nice and neat again. And rearrange stuff such that things are more accessible and user-friendly. Might take a while though. I still have the Back to the Future fanfiction directory to update, and I still haven't packed for university.
28 July 2008: Sorry for the lack of promised added content. Been busy with university; term starts in less than a week. In the meantime, there's a new quote up on the Wall, and two new Other Stuffs - Steanu's List of Keanu Reeves Facts, which is located outside WINM, and The Mythos of Keanu, which is this thing written mostly by my younger brother.
18 July 2008: Site layout revamp. Now I have two menus and have room for MORE STUFF! No new content yet, unless you count the poll on the homepage. Content will probably be added in the near future.
12 July 2008: I added a Screencaps Resource List. Need screencaps from a Keanu film but too lazy to search through all the fansites? Here's a comprehensive list ready for your use, showing you which site has what.
I'm going off for a cruise, so if there are no updates after an inordinately long amount of time, the ship probably sunk with me in it.
When I'm back, I'll start my attempts to turn WINM into a fansite plus defence site, because with the sad demise of KeanuWeb and Keanu A-Z, the fandom really needs more fansites. Meanwhile, WINM is proud to be at present the most famous Keanu fansite on a free webhost. \o/
6 July 2008: Minor site revamp; not many changes in the way of content though.
2 July 2008: No major updates. New Wall quotes and one more under In Defence. Meanwhile my work contract has ended. This means days spent at home playing World in Conflict and not doing anything really productive, on this site or elsewhere.
26 June 2008: New quotes on the Wall.
22 June 2008: There be new quotes. And yeah, that's about it for now. I have six more days of work before my contract ends, then I have about a month's free time before heading off to university and the many horrors that lurk on campus.
Oh! I've also started a webcomic: Casting Our Whoas Aside. It's mostly based on various fandoms; the whole lot is at that link, but if you're just interested in the Keanu-movie-related ones, those are over here at Club-Keanu. The main strip is updated every Monday and Thursday.
5 June 2008: Entry 0008 of the SWAT archives added.
26 May 2008: Two new entries to the characters page, both courtesy of keanugirl76. Introduction to K-SWAT was extended under the about us page, and I did some technical tweaks to the database of fish.
17 May 2008: The first paper bag rebuttal now has pictures. I will never again underestimate either Microsoft Paint or the things I can do in work when I'm free and people aren't looking. There will eventually be more pictures added to the site. Also, a new rebuttal added for the argument "Keanu is really just a plank of wood".
There have been other minor adjustments or additions to the site here and there, but nothing that significant. Monday is a holiday here, woot. I have a sort of a backlog of updates for the site that have been sadly neglected due to work, and maybe I can do something about them then.
9 May 2008: Expanded the Database of Fish with three new entries. The webmaster gave the office coffee machine's cafe latte a second chance, and it actually tasted pretty good this time. Maybe office work dulls the senses, or perhaps more sinister forces are at work.
1 May 2008: New entry on Wall of Shame, and updated the About Us page.
21 Apr 2008: On the 20th of April 2008, KeanuWeb shut down after 14 years as the largest website in Keanu fandom. It will be missed by its 60,000 members. I owe to it half the site traffic here at WINM since January this year, and it had also proved an invaluable source of some of the pictures used in this website as recently as last night.
Despite being a regular at its rival website Club-Keanu and knowing of the bad blood between them, I nonetheless would like to state my appreciation for everyone involved in the running of KeanuWeb. You did a great job, and I have much to thank you for. I salute you.
- Anakin McFly, WINM webmaster
20 Apr 2008: There are now picture banner thingies on the characters page, as well as more other stuff under Other Stuff.
nancloutier of K-SWAT has also gone missing and hasn't been online for half a month. Nancloutier, if you're reading this, please contact us. Please.
Someone on Wikipedia deleted the link to WINM. This sucks.
17 Apr 2008: Bits of new stuff were put up in the previous mini-updates that weren't large enough to warrant an update of the updates page. In the meantime, I am proud to announce that WINM got a mention in a column in New Jersey's largest newspaper on 11th April, over here. I am however sad to report that the columnist in question appears to be a Styxfish.
Site traffic has also gone up four-fold since I linked it on Wikipedia, heheheheh. We're very close to breaking 2,500 visitors since the site launch on 11th January, though put that way it doesn't sound like very much after all.
Coming up in future updates - a quiz (courtesy of ckage, who is awesome) to see how well you read human expressions, a list of Keanu 'facts' along the line of Chuck Norris facts (Steanu claims that he'll get it done two days ago) and actual banner picture things on the characters page when I stop procrastinating and get down to finding usable pictures. Trawling the Internet for random pictures of Keanu really isn't all it's cracked up to be. Two days ago, half-asleep and zombie-like, I picked my way through the Club-Keanu gallery in search of a picture of Scott Favor with good lighting that could be cropped down to 126x80 pixels. It's not fun. Really. I've done three banners so far, and half of those suck.
8 Apr 2008: Several more people have generously presented themselves for display on the Wall of Shame. Added a quote by ckage under In Defence.
6 Apr 2008: WINM publicity page added - help spread the news! More adverts coming up soon. Also there are new quotes, and another brilliant entry on the Wall of Shame.
3 Apr 2008: 'Why We Exist' page added. More new pages coming soon. Meanwhile, the coffee machine at the webmaster's office makes wonderful hot chocolate. It should have been a hot chocolate machine.
24 Mar 2008: More entries up on the Wall, plus a couple or so new quotes and an update of entry 0005 of the SWAT archives. The coffee machine at the webmaster's office also makes funny tasting cafe creme, or maybe that's just what cafe creme is supposed to taste like. Now it's just up to the expresso and the cappucino to help the webmaster regain faith in coffee machines. I shall quit the third person now. Everybody go read my fic -> The Not-Particularly-Excellent Adventures of the Keanu-Spawn.
14 Mar 2008: The webmaster got a job and from now until the end of June will be spending 50 hours a week sitting in an office cubicle with no Internet access. This does not bode well for the frequency of updates, though it bodes well for the webmaster's personal money supply.
With relation to the site, the news ticker has been deleted due to redundancy. New quote added, and entry 0005 of the SWAT archives has been updated. Also there are additions to the Wall of Shame. In other news, the coffee machine at the webmaster's new workplace makes funny-tasting coffee.
4 Mar 2008: Character profile for Jjaks Clayton is up, plus a new entry to the SWAT archive. Also added quotes.
28 Feb 2008: Added the section 'Keanu SWAT Team in Action' to archive Internet discussions and debates. Plus more quotes.
26 Feb 2008: The WINM Forums are up.
20 Feb 2008: Added quotes, stuff to the Wall of Shame, and extended the rebuttal regarding Keanu's lack of expressions.
15 Feb 2008: Added more quotes, and several articles under the links page.
11 Feb 2008: Added to the site: Updates page, Mission Statement, A Database of Fish, some new quotes and specimens on the Wall of Shame.
31 Jan 2008: Guestbook had been accidentally deleted, but is back on now. Two new arguments added, plus new quote under In Defence and a new (and the longest yet) addition to the Wall of Shame.
21 Jan 2008: New argument and rebuttal added (Keanu is really just an Ent).
20 Jan 2008: We have a new addition to the Wall of Shame and several new quotes from IMDb posters under In Defence.
WINM has been linked on Club-Keanu under Cool Sites. Sad to say, they got the website title slightly wrong.
14 Jan 2008: WINM achieved moderate fame upon being featured as a news item on KeanuWeb.
