Been awhile hasn't? None of you will remember me, unfortunately. That's probably for the better.

Anyways, things have changed since 2010-2011. And what is that, exactly?

Well first, the fact that creativity is limited.

I left in 2010 (or 11). Back then, we had more creativity. More freedom, fewer guidelines. Back then I was only in Elementary.

Now I am a Senior in High School.

What made this wiki great was that if someone had poor grammar, instead of deleting the articles, they edited it, perfected it. The perfection by many people is how pages like Jeff the Killer and other creepypastas had back then compared to now; as I haven't heard of any creepypastas in quite a while.

Nowadays, that's gone. The sites are almost dead.

I saw the various changes to this Wiki. People started whining, and it would end up in the notifications. These announcements would happen without stop.

Everybody agreed with them.

But you know what I say? Make your own Wikia if you think you can do better. I've tried.

However, the success and possibilities this Wikia had more limitless.

But all we got was more guidelines and the deletion of chat.

Nobody wanted to question this. And now the consequences rise. The Wikia is dead. (Or getting close)

You can say this Wikia didn't die. However, compared to prior traffic, it's dead.

So what happened?

Well, instead of letting people improve on this Wikia, you tried to get complete stories.

Guidelines were extended more and more until there was no freedom.

If it wasn't perfect, or "original" (There's no precise definition of "Original" on this Wikia.)

I know there were a lot of spin-offs, but in reality, the rules went farther than that.

I saw it; spin-offs were a problem. However, no one has a clear outline of what's a "spin-off."

Changes in rules were created by having references to a prior pasta or anything to do with a game was deemed "unfit."

If you want to redeem yourself, then fix this. Make new guidelines. Make changes. Improve instead of making steps back. Creepypastas are already dying, and there's nothing you can do.

Anyways, this is my final farewell. I am going to let this Wikia bleed until there is no blood left to draw. I've had enough of going on this Wikia every 6 months to find out these issues have been worsened, instead of solved.

Another thing, cliches, everyone had a damn heart attack with these. Instead of realizing that every single piece of work in modern times has at least a few cliche's, everyone had (and still have, apparently), a damn panic attack.

The categories issue has also been enforced too harshly. Instead of doing yourselves or hiring a group of people to organize the categories, you go to the most extreme measures to ensure that your creepypasta is added to the index.

I would like to see this Wikia loosened, but with such obstruct use of power, the people whom use this Wikia can be compared to the "Sheep" in Animal Farm. Be offended, it's the truth.

(Also, the Administration Board has some stupid ideas. Just checked.)
