User blog:Zoomer72/Listen up, peoples.

Hey guys. There has been a lot of talk about, "The wiki is dying," and, "No one makes creative camps anymore." I just want you guys to know that this wiki will only die if you let it. Take the matter into your own hands, make a creative camp. Because if you don't, who will? Well, I guess I'll attempt a few more in time, but that's besides the point. Don't let this wiki die, people. Do NOT let it die.

I'd like to think up a million ways to help attempt to save this wiki, but that's pretty hard for one person, especially one who is going to have to study more for school, and soon. So I've created this blog in an attempt for everyone on here to brainstorm ideas to save the wiki. (Ya, I know a more experienced and noble user should have made it, but right now it doesn't seem like anyone is stepping up to the plate)

Remember that feeling you got when you joined a new, popular camp? How excited you were, to see who your competition was going to be? The proud feeling you got, when your team won a challenge? The depressed and moody feeling, which I know oh to well, that came along with having to vote one of your friends out? The pure joy of victory? The bittersweet endings, the drama, even in unessasary instance? (Ya, I also know that I spelt unessasary wrong, just bear with me. -.-)

I don't want this wiki to die. I've been here for about half a year, and I've already made so many friends and... aquantices. (Spelt wrong too. -.-) But that's the fun of it all. It's kind of like we are a bunch of high school kids, but together into this wierd course that we all somewhat enjoy. Ya, groups of friends are made and whatnot, but unlike most regular high schools, when it coems down to it, we are there for each other. And trust me- There are a few people on this wiki who I know I can trust, as friends and possibly a personal pschiatrist. (Don't even say it -.-)

So wiki users out there who are not trying to save the wiki, well, why the heck are you not? This wiki is what brought us together, and if it ends, so do we. (In a sense...) Users who are, I thank you. But just making a million camps won't help. Think them through, make the original, and for the love of everything that's ever existed- Use proper grammar. And be nice to users, (And I'll admit it) Whether they be noobs or veterans. But in my perfect wiki, there would be much less seperations. -_-

Please guys, if you are willing to help the wiki, in the comments below give as many ways to save this wiki as possible. Anything you can think of, and then I'll sort them into a catagory. Thanks guys, really. I don't know what I do without this place, TBH.

Camp Ideas
(Steal from this section without permission, and I will personally kill you. Same goes for all others. -.-)

- Finish a very popular WAITO 2, and possibly have another season.

- '''People, make original and interesting camps. That's a given. -.-'''

- Pick up camps that had lots of potential, but died. Aka, dig their dead bodies up from the graveyard and do some frankenstien stuff on it. :P

...

User Ideas
- Please, do not make sockpuppets. It's obvious when someone is one, or has made one.

- If you are sick of your user persona, create an entirely new account. That way, after telling everyone what you did, you can start fresh... Kind of. :P I know Alfan kind of did that...

- '''Accept new users. And don't label them as noobs. I can say that I kind of know what a noob is, and it doesn't matter how long they have been on the wiki. It is their quality, not quantity. If it were solely based on quantity, I would be such a noob right now. But quality of camps, grammar, and just the user all together is what makes a noob or otherwise.'''

- '''And if you would label yourself as a noob at this point in time, you can easily take a good look at yourself, and fix your flaws. Simple things like grammar and camp ideas can change you quite a bit. Also, the way yu react to things and act when you are with other users/people.'''

- Stop the wiki seperation. Even if someone is completely spastic, has terrible grammar, and has about a million edits although they never really say anything important, doesn't mean you can look down on them. It also doesn't mean with a little help and work that they can't right their wrongs. Everyone on this wiki should get at least one shot for redemption.

...

Chatango/IRC Ideas
- '''Accept new users on the chat bases. Give them a chance, they could be a lot different than you expected.'''

- Use proper grammer. Or at least make it not totally spastic looking.

- Be kind and caring. I know from personal experience that many wiki users, including me, are goin through tough times at home.

...

Blog Ideas
- Maybe make a few blog camps... Some can be very good.

- Yes, and I mean this. When people make quitting blogs, at least attempt to make them reconsider.

- Make other "Save the Wiki" blogs, like this one. But don't make it like spam.

...

Other Wikis: TD, TDFF
- Invite users who may be interested in this wiki.

- '''Lots of fics on the TDFF wiki could be great camps, also. With permission and some creative thinking, an entirely new/creative kind of camp could come to the wiki.'''

...

Miscellaneous
- If somebody could make like a userbox or something about saving the wiki, that would be awesome.

...

(Have anymore sections ideas, let me know)

Only together can we save this wiki. It may take a while, it may take a week. But this wiki is what brought most of us onto the wikia, onto FF or TD wikis. Or at least some of us. Don't let this place die, just don't. There are so many more things to be done, camps to be made, users to be met. This wiki isn't ready to die, and I'm not ready to let it.

In a reference to an epic show that some of you may already know:

"Save the wiki, save the world."
