He's unsure what the intent of this wiki was when it was founded.

Basically, Jack, this wiki was founded to write fanon about Pirates of the Caribbean Online. When everyone started hating on Disney, people found other games to write about, like Pirates of the Burning Sea, which had a similar theme. Ultimately, it regrouped and went back to Pirates of the Caribbean Online. This wiki is not an encyclopedia for game knowledge or RP. Ultimately what ended up happening was this site became the largest continual site for POTCO fanon, and because of that, many roleplayers came to the site to fill in their own "fanon" about their roleplay.

But heading back to the part about people hating on Disney. More than just PotBS became popular, and so when people and interests branched out, it became harder to focus on the original goal. Obviously it would make sense to stick to Pirates fanon, but because so many people from the community appreciate things like Minecraft, things tend to "spread."

The nostalgia factor and a sense of loyalty is basically what holds people to the name. Sticking to the roots.
