You're going to have to excuse me for this rant.

I don't get the point of these threads. People sit down and go, 'Oh, the wiki's dying. Let's publicise that thought.' They create a thread, vocalise their opinions, cry with everyone who agrees with them, then just.. stop. And drop the issue.

No. If you want this wiki alive, you don't go around making threads talking about this place's impending doom. Do you realise that potential new users see these threads? Yeah, these end up at the top of the Recent Activity every time someone replies to them. They read them and think this place is a lost cause, because hey, what kind of good community would have arguments and drama left and right? And so then they decide it isn't worth joining and leave the site without ever giving it a chance.

What's the point of writing something like this anyways? If the wiki crashes, these kind of messages won't do anything except make everyone more depressed. If you want activity, do something an active wiki would do. That's why I started POTM again - it was one of the things that kept this place alive. ''Keep writing. ''Even talk on that zombie apocalyse thread if you don't know what to do - it's activity and that counts as something. Nothing will happen if we sit here and gripe and groan about the end.

I don't want to see another one of these threads for as long as I'm here.

Rant end. Thanks. I’m agreeing with ya, Eternulli.
