Because there's quite a bit of content in there, and I don't know a way to enter it all into the VDC automatically. There is no wiki formatting in the content - it's packed full of HTML tables, which wiki would filter out. So putting it up with some custom code rendering it semi-properly was much easier than trying to get it all into the VDC by creating individual pages. If there's a better way, I still have the files with the original extracted content, so I'd be happy to either upload it to the VDC myself if it's easy, or give it to someone who can do it. Stripping the HTML out wouldn't be hard, but it's having to create 180 pages on the VDC that made me throw it on TWHL, where I could do it automatically. Well, that, and having more content is always a good thing! I'm more than willing to provide it to the VDC, though, as the content doesn't belong to TWHL.
