Actively and constructively posting in our threads while supporting the creativity of fellow members counts as participating.

Wacky hasn't fulfilled the requirements for that in a long while.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

Stuff I've done so far:

  • worked on core (forgot to put this on the list but I'm counting hauling a shitload of groceries 2 miles and back as a workout)
  • hotel reservation (in progress)
  • cook meal (in progress)

Piano's probably not getting done today. My dad's been on the phone with tax people for over an hour.

I've just backed out a list of game rules on Our Avatars Are in a Room Together. Work pages are for describing the work, not the participation rules.

Also, speaking of that work page, can you folks be a bit more circumspect with the trope examples? Zero Context Examples are unwanted.

Gah, sorry about that

looking at the page, I think the last time that it's been updated in any like real depth by someone here was more than a year ago, all of it is like super old stuff

Yeah, we really don't update it anymore, it's sort of obsolete now.

Last time it was updated was like by me last year and that was because I was the new guy and didn't know better

We really don't care about it if you want to get rid of that page entirely I think

Motion seconded, honestly. The last time I remember touching that thing was maybe 2013?

Besides wanting to get rid of it because it's full of old, cringey nonsense, let's actually look at what we have here.

Reasons to delete page or at least purge 90% of it in cleansing fire:

  • Motor Runner made it so fuck that noise.
  • Most of the content in it was either added by Motor Runner OR
  • By us during 2013, the Year We Don't Talk About
  • As such basically everything on there is non-canon, years out of date, or both
  • "Azathoth"
  • Badly made. Images are horribly inconsistent
  • There's over 1000000 pages to keep up with, like hell we're categorising all of that
  • Half the people on the characters page aren't even here anymore
  • It's a dumb cringey thing we did during the dark ages and I'm sure you want to see it gone or at least vastly trimmed as much as I do
  • bad
  • dumb
  • stupid
  • nobody likes it
  • Seriously who among you is actually going to go back through one million (going on two!) fucking pages to update a shitty trope page that honestly was only made because all the other noob-overrun forum games were making them so we wanted to as well because WOW TROPES ARE COOL BRILLIANT BUT LAZY BADASS LONGCOAT CLOUD CUCKOOLANDER
  • i think i started bleeding internally from typing that you're fucking welcome
  • Definitely not any of the actual site contributors, either, they have better things to do that read through a random forum RP. I feel bad just seeing them fix the fucking markup every now and again
  • Good lord I just looked at it again and the crowner section is a mess filled with shit that was added for the sake of adding shit, although to be fair we knew that was a problem even back in the Forgotten Year
  • Seriously, Azathoth
  • Good lord just take it 'round back and tell it about the rabbits and give it both barrels.

Reasons to keep

  • Nostalgia for the days of yore? (man i sure am nostalgic for when motor runner had cloud get raped out of nowhere aren't you? or what about flash of sonic's futa vampire maid with a perpetual visible boner? or spending thirty pages arguing with gameknight about powergaming and grimderp? or when TAR wouldn't shut the fuck up about lolcats for five damn minutes no matter how hard we pleaded because that shit was dated as hell even back then?)
  • The RP version of the page is actually useful to me while I catalogue all our pages and I wouldn't mind that sticking around for a bit actually

Any other contributions?

i don't feel like it contributes any real value to the wiki or to this roleplay

especially not if like, no one here is interested in updating it

personally i don't care what happens to it so Do As You Will

Far as I'm concerned it's a waste of perfectly good bandwidth, delete
