Shit.

I don't know if it's a cycle or a phase or just something, but the wiki is getting worse by the day. And I don't even know if we can do anything about it.

Users are LEAVING. Because of this crap that happened by itself. Nobody caused this, no large group caused it.

I just think we aren't ready for the large mass of users that came to the wiki recently. We don't know how to handle it, and we use RP's just to settle it for a bit.

There are ideas on changing ToTM or even removing it. That would cause a lot more trouble and work.

We have a great community. We know each other, we are there for each other. Life is hitting all of us, some slowly, some fast, some so fast they have to leave.

We lost Eclipsa. Momo. Almost FirePyre.

We can't do anything to fully fix it, but we CAN improve it. We just have to think. Ignore the problems despite the fact they are screaming at your face. Focus on how to improve the wiki.

If we all leave, the wiki becomes a ghost town. Nobody wants to be here or do anything. ToS is a great game, and the wiki exists because of that.

We can't change ToS. But we have to wait. And I know we can.

I seriously hope this is a damn phase. It is getting out of hand. I stalk threads. I see what is going on. It's getting real bad. But we have to do something.

This is sort of a rant, but getting to the point, we have to do something. I see things that are working, like threads to bring back live chat, threads about this stuff, it's bringing people together.

Then someone leaves cause reasons and it sucks. But life hits us all. If everyone here was 40 years old, this wiki wouldn't exist. We have work and stuff to do.

So, let's do something. Just try getting onto the wiki each day, if you have to take a break, fine! We have nothing against you. Just check up on stuff, re-post to a question/topic, and talk.

Talk to others. A community is talking to others about whatever. We need to just see if we can fix things up. If you can't get on for a bit, that's fine.

But we need to do something. Whenever an update occurs, the wiki calms down and nobody feels bad. ToS isn't a constantly changing game.

This phase sucks like hell. But have you noticed HOW long we have held on? How long we have stayed? How long we keep coming on and talking to others. How long we communicate.

We all feel like shit, and it sucks. We just have to pull through or take a break.
