He shaped this place. I wanted a friend here. But as he changed, I started growing afraid of him judging me. I didn't feel as safe. And Rem and Ember left, Zak grew less active, and  I eventually had only Bansheee who's now on vacation.

All I wanted was a friendship. I envied all you guys' unlimited time, Discord accounts, and all that. I was torn. Soon, when Bookgate 3 happened, Rylangate concluded, and all I felt rather undermined. My bans on Community Central escalated my fear.

Pirate, you don't have to change. Just be yourself, and all is good. I don't want to lose you. We all want to help. If you get back together, we can reshape the wiki. Restore it's glory. No one can fully revive the past, but if we work together we can pull an ideal world. Just trust me. Trust us all. omg...

you were banned on Community Central for a month by MisterWoodhouse ?!?!

What did you do?!?! He kept on trying to stop the progression on UCP and stated some rather interesting facts, like the removal of forums. Eventually it got to the point where it wasn’t much of an argument and more of a complaint. Woodhouse got irritated and banned him. so what you're saying is he got banned for criticizing a huge change that could potentially change the fate, destiny and properties of the thing fandom started as, wikia and a random website that fandom bought because it was related to gaming, gamepedia, with both getting unified in the name of "unified gaming platform"?

based

wikia was never entirely about gaming until it became fandom and they basically rebranded. wikis no longer feel the same ever since that change in 2018 and the change in 2017. at this very point they're just trying to erase the fact they ever were called wikia and they tried to become a game encyclopedia until they realized gamepedia existed so they bought it and merged it with wikia "in the name of gaming"

literally everything was normal until they somehow became fandom and then they focused on gaming bruh let's face it Okay. They were actually still normal until early 2020. I mean, we don't need to merge at all. UCP is not an update, it's a downgrade. Let's face it.

I know a lot of users who also agree that UCP cannot be finished, and I have tried to find a way for everything that will be lost by creating UCP to be part of UCP (like Threads), but to no avail and I since concluded the project must be destroyed.

And this whole pandemic situation isn't helping either. well we can't stop it at this point, 80,000 gamepedia user accounts have been transferred just today at 3 pm et into an ucp-based domain and people can't sign in there as of right now until tomorrow

also if you try to make a new wiki right now you will get the design ucp will run on, if you click on start a wiki the domain will be "ucp.fandom.com"

you know what? one thing is certain and it's that both fandom and gamepedia should atleast be archived by fandom themselves or we will archive themselves using both archive.org or archive.is because we can't just let a part of internet history be destroyed just like that. this archiving project will be huge but it's the best thing to do right now and we gotta hurry because i have a feeling it will be possible

fandom is focusing more on their little gaming blogs instead of wikia, which is more popular than their blogs themselves. that's the sad part, they come back ocassionally to add more stuff but at the end of the day it's inevitable that one day they will abandon wikia and perhaps make an alternative to it

everything was better on 2014. better design, better communities, better function, better anything. BUT, by the end of 2017 it all went to waste because of their little "FANDOM" thing they did

i've been on this darned website since 2013 and it's honestly sad to see how it all went to shit so quickly, they're not realizing they're ultimately destroying a giant part of the internet itself
