I'm bored. Let's break this sucker down.

Been awhile hasn't? None of you will remember me, unfortunately. That's probably for the better. - How can something be both unfortunate and for the better? Also, later you state that this is 'a relative's account' which would make it impossible for us to recognize you either way...

Anyways, things have changed since 2011. And what is that, exactly?- Poor grammar is poor.



Well first, the fact that creativity is limited.- Hmm. I'm intrigued.



I left in 2010 (or 11). Back then, we had more creativity. More freedom, fewer guidelines. Back then I was only in Elementary.- How do you not remember when you left? And if it was such a creative utopia, why did you leave? And what does you being in (ostensibly) eighth grade have anything to do with either? So many questions...



Now I am a Senior in High School.- Congratulations.



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.-  Trying to decipher the meaning of this paragraph. Perhaps someone should edit and perfect the grammar. However, if you are implying that Jeff the Killer became a great pasta because of a community effort to improve it, you obviously missed the fact that the 'perfected' version was deleted from the site for being complete garbage and there was an entire contest devoted to trying to make something palatable from a literature standpoint from its rotting carcass.



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



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.- Whining about? Sucky stories?



Everybody agreed with them.- As they should.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">But you know what I say? Make your own Wikia if you think you can do better. I've tried.- So...you're agreeing with the actions of the admins?

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">However, the success and possibilities this Wikia were limitless- And still are.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">But all we got was more guidelines and the deletion of chat.- Again the stories sucked and chat was a toxic pit where you'd go if you decided your day was going to well and needed to be taken down a few notches.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Nobody wanted to question this. And now the consequences rise. The Wikia is dead. (Or getting close) - Well...is it? Or not.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">You can say this Wikia didn't die. However, compared to prior traffic, it's dead.- Evidence?

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">So what happened?- Please enlighten me.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Well, instead of letting people improve on this Wikia, you tried to get complete stories.- A story site wants complete stories...preposterous.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Guidelines were extended more and more until there was no freedom.- Making a blanket statement without evidence does not make it so (Debate 101). The fact that stories are successfully added to the wiki daily, however, suggests you are incorrect in this statement.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">If it wasn't perfect, or "original" (There's no precise definition of "Original" on this Wikia.)- Most of the stories aren't perfect and still require some editing. A misused word or missing punctuation mark. The problem is those stories that make your eyes bleed when you try to read them.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">I know there were a lot of spin-offs, but in reality, the rules went farther than that.- Correct. There are several other rules.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">I saw it; spin-offs were a problem. However, no one has a clear outline of what's a "spin-off." There is literally a page devoted to defining spinoff s.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Changes in rules were created by having references to a prior pasta or anything to do with a game was deemed "unfit." - Not true. My pastas reference my own previous pastas all the time. As for the game pastas, it's more that all of them were the same story with different haunted characters and different hyperrealistic graphics.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">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.- So...make new guidelines and changes but there's nothing we can do? Contradictory statement is contradictory.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">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.- Lotta effort to check us out every six months...

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">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 problem wasn't cliches. All of my stories, including the ones that have managed to make the front page, have a metric shit ton of cliches in them. The problem is when the story is ONLY cliches with nothing of substance surrounding it. There's a big difference between "and then a skeleton popped out" and "suddenly, the creature exploded from the closet, a rush of bleached bones"

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">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. - Yeah, categorizing is hard. I accept your offer of financing professional categorizers. Please submit your bank account and routing numbers so the admins know whom to bill.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">I would like to see this Wikia loosened, but with such obstruct the use of power, the people who use this Wikia can be compared to the "Sheep" in Animal Farm. Be offended, it's the truth. - I choose not to be offended.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">This might seem like a new account. However, I have created pasta before. Trust me. A long time ago. - Still does not make this relevant.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">I know this has a lot of grammar mistakes. I am too lazy to fix it. - Probably why you are having issues with getting your pastas uploaded.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">(Also, the Administration Board has some stupid ideas. Just checked.) - Probably. But as I have no idea which ones you are claiming as stupid, I really can't agree with you or not.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">DISCLAIMER: THIS WAS UPLOADED ON ANOTHER ACCOUNT. I DO NOT INTEND ON USING IT OR SEE IT AS AN ALT. IT WAS A RELATIVE'S ACCOUNT. PLEASE DO NOT BAN ME UNDER THIS DISCRETION - I don't think you know what all of these words mean. Since you have already stated you are leaving the wiki forever, it really doesn't matter if you get banned. And, even if this isn't your actual account, since there have been a grand total of 35 edits made on it (including this blog) over the last several years, I highly doubt the individual it actually belongs to will overly care that much.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Thanks for the break in my boring morning!
