First off, too many trolls, insulters, etc.

Secondly, no one gets along anymore like they did in the past. Nowadays, it's just arguing.

Thirdly, we all create the most childish arguments when it is so easy to compromise. I am not even joking. Go dig in the threads for proof.

Fourthly, who to trust and who not to trust? Too. Much. Rumors. And. Gossip.

I was just opening up to people to try and get out of my introvert shell, but guess what? I couldn't because everyone was arguing way too much about the stupidest thing.

If you all are making up an excuse, true or not e.x: "BUT WE ARE SAD PEOPLE LEFT!!1112", Get over it. Nobody has left for about a few weeks now. This wiki used to have a good reputation, everyone was friendly and nice to each other.. You all are so lucky to still have this good reputation over arguing.

If you wish to create an argument in this thread, your post will be ignored. Good day. I'll reply to your points in the order you wrote them.

First, those should be handed by admins.

Second, that's due to the lack of trust left by the aftermath of harassment, vandalism and hacking attempts. It's been going on since 2014, I believe, from back when I hosted my first RP.

Third, that's because of our attempts to fix the second point. Back then, people tweaked or hid details from other people when talking to them so they would accept each other. But now that everyone's trying to be honest, everything's falling apart. It's like I always said. Everyone says they want to hear the "truth", but they only want the truth that suits them best.

Fourth, it's, again, because we can't trust each other since 2014. Last time we trusted anyone who came along, the Wiki almost got "destroyed", in the figurative sense, by vandals. Even though I haven't heard any rumors or gossip.

Deep down, there's only one problem: WE DO NOT HAVE GOOD ADMINS! And I'm going to explain why.

Back in 2014, there was a user called EpicNugget. She was kind, honest, friendly and lots of other good things. She was soon promoted to admin. And boy, she was a good admin. Her position never changed her. She kept being the same nice person she'd always been, all while keeping the Wiki in order. But one day, she disappeared without a trace. This caused a huge impact on everyone, both by personal and administrative reasons. To solve the administrative problem, the Wiki's founder chose her closest friend to take over: Fluttergon. However, she wrote a recommendation for another user to be promoted as well: me. Yes, I was an admin way back when. Together, F-Gon and I did a great work. We were like the Yin and Yang. She was the compassionate soul who cared about everyone, while I was the tough guy who showed no mercy to the bad guys. We were always there for one another, keeping each other in the right place. But one day, she went missing too, just like EpicNugget. The fact of losing two close friends in less than 1/4 of a year was way too much for me to handle, and I left as well. I spent the following months as some kind of hermit on Wikia, while I tried to keep my facade up in real life. But the stress kept accumulating, and I needed someplace to lay it out on. I unintentionally chose this Wikia. I kept lashing out at users, specially rookies, for no reason. Therefore, they developed hatred towards me. This kept going for months, until a friend of mine was hacked on another Wiki. The hacker not only tried to ruin his Wiki and reputation, but announced that he'd hack this Wiki amongst others. I announced it on this Wiki, and a user called The Symphonic Taco told me the hacker's "identity". I immediately blocked the user because I honestly believed he was the hacker. However, Taco revealed that she'd trolled me about it. She then rallied all the users I'd lashed out at in the past in order to get them to say mean things about me so I'd get demoted. In the end, her plan worked and I was demoted because of her and her trolling. And with me fell the last responsible admin of the time. Around the same time, a user called Pam pam4 returned from a long period of inactivity. The Wiki's founder promoted him to admin after my demotion, seeing our lack of admins. He did a good work, but he kept coming and going as it pleased him. Meanwhile, I tried to make up for what happened, and everything seemed to go back to normal. And sometime around that, Pookieluv was promoted, and she did a pretty decent work. But apparently, she was demoted for something she did when she wasn't an admin. This left us only with an admin who was almost never here. And we've been like that since then.

I would talk about Pookiefan as well, but it'd take way too long. Just ask the veteran users about her. And please be respectful about it.
