Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-31256456-20190830060531/@comment-27575896-20190901071518

To clear some things up, I am not one to sponsor per day the Fun and Games/Off-Topic boards. I have little to no interest in them, and nor do I use them or view them as a way to keep the wiki alive. Off-Topic will always be a shitshow and for fucks sake I’m the person who made that thread.

However, I made that thread to organize shit-shit from ToS-related shit. And ironically, that’s framing a failure. But we might as well get the idea out that this specific failure shows that this shit should be tossed.

The community for the game is more prevalent off the wiki because it’s a hell of a lot easier to talk about stuff there and not here.

Anything community wise here js role ideas and that’s it. General Discussion is as well, but role ideas trumps all of it.

The big picture is this. '''Does the Wiki want a community to go with it, which causes this stuff to be created? Or will this hurt in the long term, AKA now, and it should be left as a Wikia for information and game-discussion?'''

The stuff staff have been doing for the past months is having a goddamn life to live. I’m the spare time I get I check the wiki for fixes or vandalism. Never do I repeatedly sponsor or approve of off topic posting.

Am I letting the off-topic stuff continue? Yes. And what’s the harm in that?

If you don’t like it, stay the fuck away from it. It isn’t your place and I’m not trying to fucking force it on you like it should be. If you have passion for role ideas, go for role ideas.

Now, if the wiki is only shown as being one where stuff happening here draws others to these same boards, that’s not on me or is my obligation to stop it. You choose your own goddamn path, I should not have to be fucking forced to pick a path for people, whether it be for people who just shitpost all day or those who want to create something. I’m not going to dictate who goes where and what community actions happen here.

The staff page isn’t updated because why should it be? It lists the staff we have and their ranks. As you stated, a wiki is to provide information. A staff page provides a list of staff. Avatars change constantly, and are so insignificant to change, so why bother? Why not focus on the stuff you want done, or improvements to the wiki?

Ghosty and the others are considered staff because they are fucking staff. They are contactable. If they turn out not to be or have moved on, they leave. Jally is a good example. I’d rather not fire people just to appease one person only for them to return and wonder what the hell happened.

And Vert, I do appreciate you bringing this up. Staff should be readily active or should be doing staff work.

Most people who shitpost don’t have much thought for the game. It doesn’t matter what others say about them, I’m not banning or blocking or placing down propaganda against them because they aren’t doing anything harmful.

The wiki information will ALWAYS BE THERE if it’s supposed to be run like a wiki. If people have complaints about the “community” side and of shitposters, I don’t care. I don’t focus on that portion.

If they have complaints about the way role ideas are being tested, or how the good aspect of the community here is working, then I do care. I don’t care about shitposts. Shitposts are shitposts. They are shit and mean shit. They serve no purpose here but are prelevant everywhere.

I simply made a board to put them somewhere so they don’t get clogged with the other more important boards.

If we need to remove some extra boards, that’s fine. There is a slight surplus at the moment and we are talking about it as has been mentioned here prior.

And let me clear something up. If you want us to explain why we are not informative on what’s going on or what we should be doing, and this is for Vert specifically, then why did you leave the staff yourself? You had the perfect ability to suggest something and get your thoughts out here much easier. You had the ability to know what is actually going on. You had the ability or answer the questions you now seek, yet you left those for us to answer and satisfy you.

And before that comment goes to shit I want that answered somewhere else.

Reviews aren’t great. I am not attempting to keep the wiki alive because it doesn’t need to be. It’s already alive according to you and stats themselves. Lots of people constantly visit the wiki for its purpose and other stuff.

If I am being hypocritical on anything please point it out.
