I kind of feel guilty for making an RP that I think totally promoted the idea to make RP's and game way back in December-February: The Psychopath. It did make the wiki alive and happy again, but I feel it started this fact.

Also, if FirePyre is back cause of this, then it's a bit serious.

It's also probably because I cleared up the mainspace work on the wiki. Grammar, punctuation, everything. The only thing people can do is add strategies. Then again, if they don't want to, it's either leave the wiki or make a game just to be social.

For some people, this exact wiki is the only area they can socialize with people. RP's would be a good start. Whenever you first join a wiki, you have NO idea what to do unless you are someone who stalks wiki's for months. I had that with this wiki. First thing I did was hop into live chat and annoy Venera for a bit, then that became the regular thing. Then I focused on mainspace and the fact I got promoted to Chat Mod/Rollback, and went from there. Took two months to fully get organized with the wiki.

Same thing could happen with others, but since Live Chat is dead and people use Discord now, which is also dying, I don't know. I guess RP's are the one way to socialize and get people to talk to you.

Why Live Chat died? Probably due to the fact nobody had anything else to do but RP's. RP's, sticking on ToS, or from life hitting you.

I thought of something where we could all just get on Live Chat at certain times per day, which would be optional just to bring it back and have others talk and see messages faster than waiting a minute for them to pop up on a thread.

Hostile? Interesting word choice, but I feel that the wiki is slowly becoming more of a ghost town of nothing but RP's. Like Comment said, it could be a transition or cycle, so we have to deal with it.

PVZ wiki had actually once gone 8 months with low activity. Go there now, it's booming like crazy.

What I DO notice is whenever a new good update comes out, the wiki explodes with activity. We peobably just need more of those.

So, eh. We'll figure something out, but for now, let's focus a bit less on RP's.
