Yeah, the story may be shit to you, but maybe to others it's gold. Why is everyone so serious now. What happened to the creativity and fun. Now everything is so frustrating. All my good friends are leaving now. Damn. Where were you summer of 2012? Shit kinda went cray-cray soon as 2013 rolled around with a flurry of new developments. I think a breather would be refreshing as we focus on strengthening our foundations.

That said, feel free to blame the lack of creativity on writers themselves. The wiki has no way of regulating its userbase; only what they generate and host on the wiki.

I think you need to reevaluate this wiki's priorities. We host quality stories. We're no daycare. We were no daycare. And we never said that you were a daycare. We just happened to find that writing stories can be exhausting, and that chat can introduce a bit of fun to our day. Even if the people who constantly came here just for chat, it kept them happy (Even if some of the users who entered chat were complete cockspanks) and, more importantly, it was a way to advertise stories and express ideas.

Even if the productivity on this wikia has gone up, users will eventually find that all they can do is write stories, and will eventually run out of ideas. Even though this isn't likely to happen for a very long time, it will happen. The decline of stories will most likely drive this wikia to bring back chat, making it inevitable, so why not just re-enable it now?

I think that's just about it. Good day to all :) Gonna ignore the latter half as it doesn't concern me~

I recognize "you" never said we're a daycare. I wanted a quick, effective sinker to drive home my point. ;p

Anyway, again, only the most dedicated and "good" of writers can really make a splash here. Most stories are trimmed off without incident shortly after being published. If you have a problem (for lack of better word) with producing quality writing, what are you doing on here? There are certainly better uses for chat, but they simply aren't being used for the benefit of the userbase.

I'm pretty sure more aspiring writers would arrive with fresh, new "modern" ideas and base articles off of that. Ergo, new ideas will wash ashore and we'll have more outlets to write about. Writing simply doesn't grow stagnant overnight.

At the end of the day, though, I voted Neutral and chat's gonna be reopened by the looks of it. I just really feel argumentative today. ;p
