Alright guys, I know there have been a lot of highlighted posts, but I feel like I needed to bring this to everyone's attention, because this might truly mean something in the future. What is the true meaning of this wiki? Well, I know you're probably like "Um, read the title." But no. The meaning of this wiki is more than the title. It's the content, the community, the atmosphere, the type of environment that makes this community what it is. But for some reason, it seems as though we as a community have forgotten our true meaning. I'm tired of saying this, but I'm gonna keep saying it. Our wiki is turning into a complete war zone, and a place where others feel endangered, stressed, or hopeless. Is this what LifeUpStudios wanted? And no, I don't want anyone giving me some petty answer with "LifeUpStudios this, LifeUpstudios that" "He started a war", "He left his wiki in bad shape", "He banned users and was acting corrupt", "He was not a good owner." Yeah, no. Don't act immature. Truth is, a pasta called "Nipple Monsters" was created, which inspired more creepy pastas, so LifeUpStudios decided to create a category for trollpastas. Many people didn't like it, so they got angry that he wasn't deleting them. He banned them for going on with him about it, and users got angrier, and then he eventually left, and a bunch of users tried to form a revolution about it, and he was banned so many times by his own contributors because of it. He only created this wiki because he wanted a pasta wiki where users could create scary stories based on Minecraft. Was this what he wanted? Would he have wanted his wiki to become a place where all the users do is fight "wars"? His moral for this wiki was not to lead, but to authorize. https://minecraftcreepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:LifeUpStudios/Week_1_-_Favourite_Creepypasta He left this message for everyone, and this proves what he wanted. You know, it's quite ashamed that this wiki has a whole list of logged issues between the wiki and disruptive users. True, you guys want to make people feel credited for the work they have done on this wiki, but this isn't the work the creator wanted for his wiki to be credited for. For example, look at Creepypasta wiki. Do they log all of their troubles, and act the way we do on this wiki? No! Matter of fact, they are much more mature than we are. Out of this wiki being open for 7 years, we act as if we don't know how to run things, 'round here. We treat every single problem as though it's a war. It's just internet drama, but the fact that we log all of the drama here is quite an embarrassment and is something other wikis can laugh at. We have a crew of messy staff, and I don't care if I look like an asshole for saying this. But this wiki is just in too much denial to actually realize what I'm saying. Point is, we've disappointed our creator. He wouldn't have been happy about this if he came to this wiki one day and saw this drama, would he?
