In 2005, at a time when most gaming fandoms would be starting to decline, a new Oni fan site was opened, [http://www.oni2.net Oni2.net], run by Christian Illy. The purpose of his site was to serve as a community portal and also as a place for fans to store Oni-related content under personal subdomains.

One of the sites Illy linked to (and later hosted at http://ssg.oni2.net), modestly called "Oni Stuff", was run by a fan named [[User_talk:Ssg|Ssg]]. The site documented much of the inner workings of Oni's game data. In October of 2005, a member of OCF named [[User:geyser|geyser]] suggested using Oni2.net to host a wiki which could store this information in an easily-editable format so that others could help in the reverse-engineering efforts. Thus OniGalore was born. Over time, nearly everything about the game has been documented here.
