First off, FANDOM has become increasingly sensitive of what subsites allow in just the past year alone. On top of that there has been talk of tighter copyright restrictions a while back which could put a lot of this site's content on the line. It is only a matter of time before they start making more and more rules that make it impossible for authors to write good stories.

Here are my predictions of some of the things FANDOM is going to do in the future (possibly this upcoming year).

Increase copyright restrictions so that anything with any kind of corporation copyright (i.e. lost episodes, game pastas, theories, anything that has the word "Nintendo" in it all).


 *  Enforce simplification which includes (but not limited to) getting rid of forums and replacing them with something similar to text-messaging (which all users can randomly say something even if it is unrelated to what everyone else is talking about), getting rid of things like Pasta of the Month, getting rid of anything besides articles and category pages (and possibly their image and video files), forcing a default skin that kills the mood, and possibly getting rid of user's walls and talk pages.


 * Put restrictions of violence, horror, and anything that can be deemed remotely offensive.


 * Enforce censorship of certain words.


 * Keep an eye on all FANDOM sites to make sure none of their rules are broken. Also breathing down this site's administrators' necks about their rules.

As a lot of us have said before CPW should cosinder making their own site and moving away from FANDOM's tyranny.
