Well, I'm an older user as well. I joined in 2013 and was most active in 2014-15, and it's an unhappy coincedence that when I come back to check this place on a day off, I see this at the top of the activity feed. I don't want to repeat anything Travis already said, so I'll try to keep my message below novella-length.

To my point: just about everything you listed as the site's newfound flaws is what I see as improvements. No chat? Great, all it did was cause needless drama and draw attention away from what the wiki is supposed to be here for- creating and giving each other feedback on scary stories. And for the record, I said that as someone who is still in contact with almost all of her friends from the chat.

Tighter restrictions for stories? Good, now I can read something that's going to interest or entertain me instead of having to wade through an endless string of cliches, grammar errors and plots and characters so formulaic a computer could have generated them.

And lastly, not being the most highly trafficked wiki on the Internet anymore? (Gasp!) To me, that just makes it easier for users here to become recognized. This site certainly isn't dead, not by a long shot. And besides, there's always Wattpad if you want to be on a site so popular that it's virtually impossible to get any kind of attention- if you don't pander to a specific crowd.

I'm truly sorry if I come off as rude, that's not my intention. I only want to share my perspective as another user who's been around for a while and watched the wiki change.
