Ok @Al saying that you asked a few users really doesn't change anything, but i guess its.. "Good?" that you included it.

What jerry just said is unfortunately very realisitc. One of the reason's him and I have gotten along so well over the years is that we both share the idealistic of realism. Being a realist implies that you ignore the cheap, happy-go-lightly funademental to cloud the true good or bad side of something. Here, its bad. I know some people don't like to say it, but for the last few months, the only reason this place has activity is basically me or some other eco-tistic person arguing with another, or debating on "who's right." We have only gotten 1-2 new users that stay longer than a week in the last half-year.

It sure doesn't seem like he agreed to it. I don't go to admin chats (nor would I want to), so i can't speak on behalf of him. I can speak as a friend as as a realist when I say his side to this is pretty clear.

I just think, as Ben noted, the community could have used a little time for transition. The timing and speed of the effect was poorly managed (no offense intended) and just.. wrong thing, wrong time. No matter how we look at it, it sucks. Game ends. Wiki about game. Sucky suck sucky situation :\/

I still would have liked a vote on changing the wiki name... as thats pretty huge.. if not as HUGE as you can get.

I don't mean to get anybody upset- and if you are, don't be, just awknowledge that mature human beings are maturely arguing/stating opinions- but I feel like the decision was made nearly entirely by the admin team (which I think parax already stated). As Sharple has said many times, wiki's are meant to be democracies and most are dictatorships in the sense that admins rule all. The environment we've created here with voting on everything and basically HAVING an SSC really discontinues the dictatorship thing. We've been a democracy for a long time, and it'ss too late to change that. Please reconsider the fast change.. and get ready for A TON of "leaving wiki blogs." It's a long, dying, sad road ahead.
