Ok

Since churin fucked off somewhere and is never gonna come back, I'll just post my viewpoint since my opinion never really involved "derailing threads" anyway. I don't think there really are any to begin with that haven't been sorted out by the staff.

I've already talked about these 2 before but I don't think any of the rotten brains reading ever took it into consideration, so let me talk about them again.

The wiki's purpose and quality over quantity

A wiki is there to provide information about a topic or title, period. That's all there is to it, anything else is irrelevant and pointless to the website. Wiki staff are there to make sure said wiki is running its purpose properly and regularly. There is nothing difficult or hard about doing that.

Forum activity is absolute bottom priority in running a wiki, what matters the most is the visits said wiki gets indicating readers or users who come here for information, a statistic only found in the admin dashboard.

With that being said, dear people who are currently staff here, please tell us what the ever living fuck have you donkeys been doing for the past several months?

Yes, congratulations, the wiki is alive and only at the expense of an achievement about as meaningful as filling your petrol-dependent car with diesel. I am struggling to comprehend why the irrelevant parts of the wiki get so much lip service from your mouths that top porn stars are made out to be absolute saints.

I'd also like to thank Rubik and Zed for their responses to 4, why I never knew you dudes were such big fans of framing your failures and responsibility deflections for everyone to see. I do appreciate it, it saves me a lot of time.

No one has ever paid too much attention to this but the staff have always been, still are, and always will be the root cause of this wikia turning into the shitshow it is today. Off-topic comments and shitposting don't just spawn and exponentially grow themselves on their own like that unless the staff let it happen or even promote them by adding entire boards for them.

There's almost a poetic level of irony in the fact that all these derailing posts that are irrelevant to Town of Salem and the information connected to it has originated from the staff themselves derailing away from their original purpose and stuffing the wiki with worthless garbage.

Why are you so infatuated with keeping the wiki alive at all costs or no matter what? Who does it mean to you that this place is alive even if it was fully out of non-tos wiki stuff? You think anyone would ever really pride themselves on competence and fulfilling their role if they advertised their car-selling companies based on how good their bathrooms and AC are, only to have almost all the customers never paying attention to the actual product being sold?

Is it so the game has a community? You'd be wrong if that's the case considering game communities will always reside in a discord server, steam discussions or any other online forum that isn't wikia since they are all flexible for multiple purposes and much more convenient to use.

Is it so you and the wiki look good? Look good to who, the new users who were seeking ToS content or the activity leaderboard for wikias?

Why do you even want the off-topic section of the wiki to stay alive this much? Your role idea boards, general discussion, and other stuff are all perfectly fine in terms of activity. The slay the spire wiki doesn't even have a forum board to begin with, but not a single soul has ever had a problem with that because the wiki is still doing its job in the end of the day and giving information to those who need it.

We get thousands and thousands of visits per day, which is a very clear sign of the site being successful. We went as far as having the devs replace the link for gamepedia with our wiki's instead on their official game server because the wiki we made was so much more complete and informative, not at all because it was actively having junk piled up on.

You struggle to maintain your wiki staff page updated for crying out loud, why are ghosty and rocket still considered staff and why is Rex still on semi-active if they never do anything staff-related on the wiki at all? Your policies are internally inconsistent, it's what got me leaving this embarrassment of a wikia in the first place because I don't want to be associated with it any more.

Get your shit together and start doing your job instead of "having to wait".
