User blog comment:Captaingoldvane2/Clearing Things Up - Some Insight on "UGW"/@comment-4879311-20140722161235

I'm going to probably write this comment thinking it won't be an essay but it probably very well may end as one. So to begin.

"Stealing Users"

I never said first of all that you were stealing users. I'll be dammed if I did because if I at all said that, I meant indirectly. Whatever. This isn't even the basis of what my comment will be. I accused the UGW of its inability to be decisive and setting a precedent and even giving the user a voice and fair side of the story. The Administration, now with this clarification was clearly unorganized and unprepared for the sudden wave of users despite various experienced users having administrative qualities. I will admit this, and its that there was no stopping the UGW's growth after the UGW was discovered. I was honestly as pissed as the Administration was when various people found out about it because it meant the same freaking politics at the time and the site was just a complete freaking mess, the entire admin panel of ppw didn't what the hell to do and I was probably only a Rollback (if I had at all been promoted at the time) when the UGW had it's "moment of exposure" that was unwanted and unnecessary. It frustrated me that it was exposed not by Josh's mistake (no one looked at Tama's profile, don't blame it on him, trust me) but by Voxelplox. In any case, whatevs. What's done is done.

Skipping UGW Today because it's not worth my time.

"Turning PPW into UGW"

There's some sense. They fail to see what UGW was actually about and what we will be about. Even if we both have a difference in opinion about what UGW is and was, PPW will never be what UGW was and hate to call out names but people like Haras not even listening to what Nults and I have to say (hey that's funny, two people who didn't like UGW B) ) and droning on aout how roots is all we should be really need to check themselves before they wreck themselves.

"UGW Act II" (Your other title is just too long please)

While I don't see this as an Act II of UGW because the paragraph above this basically says why we will never be a UGW so Im not even going to go there. The problem with making a new site is there are a ton of people that feel that we need to resolve various matters before we do that if we ever do and it has to do with who would lead. Some feel that some should no longer be in a position of power and you can go ahead and yap all you want about how not everyone agrees with them but there is a large enough portion of users concerned to make it a can of worms upon founding a new site, even if it has upsides to it.

I don't however see the founding of multiple sites from the PPW as it would just further divide the community and everyone will want to be the one in charge, let's all face it we all want to be some kind of leading figure if we spawn off, but it best be one site or no new sites. In any case, there is no way we will move on and you know it won't happen even if you used all your secret favors and passageways to convince us of moving on. Most of us here are the leftovers of our societies we live in and we come together with much diversity and it is what makes the PPW what it is today. To some extent we stayed true to our roots, being the "trash bucket of Pirates ONline Wiki" though one that evolved into a family that has its fights. If you hadn't had the problems with UGW Goldvane, you probably wouldn't be the person you are today or suggesting what you are. There is no way it will happen of us moving on and leaving this place to rot and die off.
