For the record, I never agreed that we should change the wiki's name, and to be quite honest, I don't like the idea of it. But, I suppose it's already been done and we can't reverse that. I'm not pointing fingers, but this was a very large decision to be made, which was done without consulting me (I currently make up 1/3 of the administration here), let alone the entire community.

I'll continue to edit and come here as much as I can, but I don't see the point. As I've said before, I'm not being pessimistic, just realistic. The wiki was dying as it is, and the game closing obviously hurts us. Frankly, I don't think that changing the name will help. The POTC movie franchise hasn't really been all that popular since On Stranger Tides came out 2 years ago, and even that movie wasn't a huge hit. All I'm saying is that, we're already 1-2 weeks into the new name change, and we haven't seen the big wave of new users come in that many of us may have been anticipating. I'm not against us broadening our horizons, but many people are acting like it's the last hope for this place, and that overnight we will become an instant success. Realistically speaking, POTC is a thing of the past, fanon is a dying genre, and the wiki is pretty much deserted to begin with. I just see this as a lost cause, and rechanging the name may not have been the best road to take.

I don't mean to sound like I've given up on the wiki, but the game is closing. I'm not a religious person, but if that isn't a sign I don't know what is. We've been on the decline for the past year, and this may have been the crushing blow. Again, I'm not intending to be negative, but I'll be completely shocked if this place lasts to the end of the year.
