Ok, I already made my essay elsewhere but I have a few things to say here:



As you yourself said, category disorganization is nearly a non-issue. Really, it seems like you're grasping at straws now. We have Squirto and his bot for a reason, and I seriously doubt you've spoken to him about this "category mess"

Yes, we do have a "bad reputation". The same way the U.S does for being a little mean to Japan in 1945. What I'm trying to say is that all these events happened such a long time ago that they have no bearing on our ability to bring users in, whether TLOPO players or entirely new ones. Our dry new user income is due to a lack of advertisement and a lack of a platform on which to advertise (i.e an MC server, as I said earlier)

Hoo boy, this one's juicy. First of all, with democracy, you have to expect heated debate. Which is why this wiki baffles me; I've never seen any. On community votes, we all bring our best reasons to the table, which sway the general audience in one direction or the other. Secondly, "baby steps" is how progress works in the real world; swinging to an extreme always ends badly. Really, "baby steps" is how all improvements are and should be made. There was no drama on the last vote. Also, I keep hearing that we deter users, but have you asked literally anyone but yourselves what they think of us? Finally, this whole "no voting" thing you're proposing is chaotic at best and ripe for a power grab at worst.



I remain unconvinced that these "issues" warrant a split in such a tiny community.
