- [3:23:47pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] I find it pointless to have this vote here, really. I our community almost entirely wants to join with theirs, due mostly to our almost completely insured demise if we don't. As such, our nearly whole hearted plea won't do much against theirs, as ours can continue it, while theirs can stop it.
- [3:23:47pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Also, I would like to point out that, if I haven't already made it clear, the current "ideas" for the merge are very one sided. Most of the discussion has been dominated by us, and we seem to want to stiffle the usage of the Keyhole's content prominently wherever it should be featured. I'll go ahead and see if I can find out what would sway them, but no promises that I'll even get
- [3:23:48pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] that far. Light, Darkness, and What Lies Inbetween... The_Inexistent 22:13, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
- [3:24:22pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] That's all.
- [3:24:22pm] [C8|Community] "Most of the discussion has been dominated by us, and we seem to want to stiffle the usage of the Keyhole's content prominently wherever it should be featured."
- [3:24:28pm] [C8|Community] That isn't entirely true :/
- [3:24:43pm] [C8|Community] But, yeah, I get most of what he's saying.
- [3:24:50pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Really? Show me how that isnt entirely true
- [3:25:22pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Also, rage-retiring, really?
- [3:25:40pm] [C8|Community] *rage-inactiving
- [3:25:49pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] ... rage in the end
- [3:25:52pm] [C8|Community] Well, check the Roundtable logs.
- [3:26:00pm] [C8|Community] Hey, I did exactly what Sox did.
- [3:26:00pm] • C8|Community said your highlight in #wikia-kingdomhearts.
- [3:26:07pm] [C8|Community] Got fed up with the community and administration.
- [3:26:21pm] [LegoAlchemist] DE, if you wouldn't mind reading our concerns before you joined: http://pastebin.com/HZgXY5Ke
- [3:26:23pm] [C8|Community] Most of the people at that roundtable were from The Keyhole.
- [3:26:28pm] Sora (5205e28e@gateway/web/freenode/ip.82.5.226.142) has quit IRC. (Page closed) (Dec-26-2011)
- [3:26:30pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Sox got tired. That was all, he was back in a week. and thanks, Lego
- [3:26:30pm] • Dark-EnigmaXIII said your highlight in #wikia-kingdomhearts.
- [3:26:42pm] [LegoAlchemist] It isn't long.
- [3:26:54pm] [C8|Community] No.
- [3:26:59pm] [C8|Community] I meant Sox left .net
- [3:26:59pm] • C8|Community said your highlight in #wikia-kingdomhearts.
- [3:27:01pm] [C8|Community] for those reasons.
- [3:27:45pm] [LegoAlchemist] You left .net, Chitty?
- [3:27:53pm] [maggosh] *ahem*
- [3:27:58pm] [LegoAlchemist] *meha*
- [3:28:13pm] [C8|Community] Nah, I inactive'd on wikia.
- [3:28:18pm] [LegoAlchemist] Oh.
- [3:28:33pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Sox left .net because he agreed more on what I had in mind.
- [3:28:33pm] • Dark-EnigmaXIII said your highlight in #wikia-kingdomhearts.
- [3:28:39pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Regardless of his position now
- [3:28:43pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] He just agreed with me
- [3:28:51pm] [C8|Community] Sox himself told me he hated Kryten, DTN, and Neumannz.
- [3:28:51pm] • C8|Community said your highlight in #wikia-kingdomhearts.
- [3:28:52pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Im tires of saying, if you want to blame someone, blame me
- [3:29:14pm] [C8|Community] My inactiving doesn't mean jack shit. I'll still be on the forums and stuff.
- [3:29:26pm] [LegoAlchemist] I am the same.
- [3:29:31pm] [LegoAlchemist] I don't edit the mainspace because I don't have time.
- [3:29:43pm] [LegoAlchemist] But I am more than willing to give my inputs on the forums, especially since it is winter break.
- [3:29:58pm] [LegoAlchemist] *input.
- [3:30:01pm] [LegoAlchemist] "inputs"
- [3:30:03pm] [LegoAlchemist] lol.
- [3:30:10pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Kryten himself said "let the community decide" the community HAS the information, regardless of if they use it or not, we cannot force them to sit and read trough the logs. Now, they are voting
- [3:30:12pm] ArchAngelus (bd385cd2@gateway/web/freenode/ip.189.56.92.210) has joined #wikia-kingdomhearts (Dec-26-2011)
- [3:30:34pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] You guys act like if I had completely killed the idea. Sox and me are unsure of the benefits it might bring forth
- [3:30:34pm] • Dark-EnigmaXIII said your highlight in #wikia-kingdomhearts.
- [3:30:42pm] [C8|Community] Your community is being, to be blunt, stubborn and ignorant.
- [3:30:46pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] but we are not the entire community, for god sake
- [3:30:50pm] [LegoAlchemist] Chitty.
- [3:30:56pm] [C8|Community] =.=
- [3:31:15pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] They are choosing what they want, ACCORDING TO WHAT KRYTEN SAID
- [3:31:20pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Community must have a say
- [3:31:21pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] and I agree
- [3:31:38pm] [maggosh] Did you all read Kryten's latest post on the Keyhole?
- [3:31:51pm] [LegoAlchemist] Really.
- [3:32:01pm] [Darkheart3] yes
- [3:32:05pm] [Darkheart3] i read it
- [3:32:55pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] So far, so far, we are only able to see advantages to khwiki. T_I got it right, we're not in "dire need" of a merge. We have the biggest community, page view, and traffic of anons and users, regardless of regulars.
- [3:33:03pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] That's my input
- [3:33:07pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Its NOT
- [3:33:15pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] because of paranoid and fear of .net
- [3:33:39pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Chit, if you bothered to read Sox post, you'd see that both he and I are worried about the user income and traffic
- [3:33:39pm] • Dark-EnigmaXIII said your highlight in #wikia-kingdomhearts.
- [3:33:43pm] [LegoAlchemist] So I was right.
- [3:33:47pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Trusted editors > number of editors
- [3:33:49pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] yes
- [3:33:51pm] [Darkheart3] on a completely unrelated sidenote, i just bought a 3DS
- [3:33:52pm] [LegoAlchemist] You're not merging because you don't feel you need to.
- [3:33:59pm] [LegoAlchemist] Not because you're scared of the outcome.
- [3:34:04pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Exactly
- [3:34:07pm] [ErryK|KH] WASTE OF MONEY DARKHEART.
- [3:34:10pm] [C8|Community] However, your regular users think otherwise.
- [3:34:13pm] [ErryK|KH] Should've waited 2 months to get the Vita.
- [3:34:24pm] [Chaser] or get it now
- [3:34:25pm] [maggosh] WASTE OF PROJECTION ERRY
- [3:34:26pm] [C8|Community] I can understand your concerns about user traffic, a problem solved by HEAVY advertising on wikia.
- [3:34:29pm] [Darkheart3] I CAN"T WAIT TWO MONTHS
- [3:34:39pm] [ErryK|KH] well sony can >: 3
- [3:34:45pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] That's far beyond my control. I cant force users to think somenthing, and you know that
- [3:34:48pm] [Darkheart3] =.=
- [3:34:48pm] [ErryK|KH] and me for that matter.
- [3:34:59pm] [C8|Community] But your users who HAVE NEVER EDITED ON .NET think we're some sort of evil overlords.
- [3:35:05pm] [C8|Community] THAT'S why I'm pissed.
- [3:35:17pm] [Darkheart3] im not interested in a vita, id much rather have a regular psp
- [3:35:24pm] [LegoAlchemist] Yes. The paranoia.
- [3:35:57pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] But what can I do about it? I explained and explained, and you guys have as well, that there's nothing to fear.
- [3:36:07pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] I cant project my mind on them
- [3:36:10pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] would be awesome if I could
- [3:36:16pm] [LegoAlchemist] I don't mean to swing back to this,
- [3:36:17pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] An army under my control
- [3:36:20pm] [LegoAlchemist] but this is why we need to merge.
- [3:36:29pm] [LegoAlchemist] To bridge the gap between the wikis and destroy the paranoia.
- [3:36:37pm] [C8|Community] However, this isn't an opinion. They are actually coming up with these things on their own.
- [3:36:49pm] [LegoAlchemist] I think that's why, initially, we didn't really want the community heavily involved.
- [3:36:50pm] [C8|Community] YOU can help dispel these ridiculous misconceptions.
- [3:37:28pm] Darkheart3 (795ae604@gateway/web/freenode/ip.121.90.230.4) has quit IRC. (meh, im gonna go play my 3DS that is NOT a VITA) (Dec-26-2011)
- [3:37:32pm] [LegoAlchemist] Which, apparently, was a mistake, trying to change a website so heavily influenced by community.
- [3:38:10pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] My point still remains. Nothing assure us that when we merge, we will not rot into khwiki.net current shape, wich admitedly had only become relatively active because of the suggestion of a merge
- [3:38:13pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] because that was it
- [3:38:18pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] a suggestion that had to be considered
- [3:38:26pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] and my community is considering it now
- [3:38:35pm] [C8|Community] ...
- [3:38:43pm] [LegoAlchemist] Erm.
- [3:38:52pm] [LegoAlchemist] If you wouldn't mind saying "wikia" community.
- [3:39:06pm] [LegoAlchemist] No, never mind, I understood the context.
- [3:39:14pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] sorry if it was confusing
- [3:39:22pm] [C8|Community] Okay, to be perfectly frank, there is absolutely zero difference between .net and wikia, besides the editors.
- [3:39:34pm] [LegoAlchemist] And the traffic.
- [3:39:53pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] But you guys are falling to understand the importance that traffic has.
- [3:40:10pm] [LegoAlchemist] Uh.
- [3:40:11pm] [LegoAlchemist] No.
- [3:40:12pm] [C8|Community] Not too much.
- [3:40:13pm] [LegoAlchemist] That is false.
- [3:40:39pm] [C8|Community] How many prolific and useful editors have joined since the split?
- [3:40:41pm] [ErryK|KH] I don't know why you're saying that if we merge the traffic is gonna go down the drain.
- [3:40:44pm] [LegoAlchemist] The entire wiki is aware that traffic is a problem.
- [3:41:09pm] [LegoAlchemist] Okay. It was a "transition", not a "split".
- [3:41:12pm] [LegoAlchemist] At least, that was the intention.
- [3:41:28pm] [C8|Community] "fork"
- [3:41:34pm] [C8|Community] Is the proper term.
- [3:41:43pm] [C8|Community] Well, that's what other people use :/
- [3:41:46pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Kyo Wolfe, OATOBLIVION, Xion Auora, LegendAqua, Anselm Durante, Wikian13000, ArchAngelus, TwilightEqua, etc
- [3:41:55pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] those are off the top of my head
- [3:42:43pm] [C8|Community] I thought LA was here before the split.
- [3:43:02pm] [C8|Community] TwinlightEqua has been around.
- [3:43:03pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Nope, she joined before
- [3:43:07pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] around a month or so
- [3:43:16pm] [C8|Community] She joined a month before the fork?
- [3:43:31pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Nope, I meant
- [3:43:32pm] [C8|Community] Anselm Durante just posts links to khinsider on the KH3D talk page.
- [3:43:33pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] after <<
- [3:43:53pm] [C8|Community] Never seen Wikian do too much.
- [3:44:03pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Anselm Durante wnats to help, he was able to provide the sound files for the OST if it wasnt for Kyo doing them
- [3:44:05pm] [C8|Community] And even so, this is out of the 1000+ editors that joined your wiki in the past year.
- [3:44:13pm] [Chaser] DE, not to be rude, but all Wikian13000 does it talk page and forum
- [3:44:19pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Well, how many new users do YOU have?
- [3:44:28pm] [C8|Community] None, due to our low activity.
- [3:45:06pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Out of 1000, we got around 10
- [3:45:13pm] [C8|Community] Xion Aurora actually edits?
- [3:45:22pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Out of 100, you didnt get a single one besides, Luke, I believe, but idk if he edits
- [3:45:24pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] and yes
- [3:45:30pm] [Chaser] yes she does C8
- [3:45:37pm] [C8|Community] Which is why merging would be benificial.
- [3:45:56pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] For us? I dont think so.
- [3:46:02pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] The merge so far is a one-sided benefit
- [3:46:08pm] [C8|Community] Again, I must stress that having a community of regulars is better than many new editors.
- [3:46:23pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] But those regulars had to be new beforehand
- [3:46:48pm] [C8|Community] I see many new editors on your wiki who never get an edit in, due to the constant reverting.
- [3:47:05pm] [C8|Community] Oh, we got that Pain guy.
- [3:47:10pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Pain is here too
- [3:47:13pm] [C8|Community] So 1 for our 100 and 10 for your 1000
- [3:47:20pm] [C8|Community] Yep.
- [3:47:29pm] [C8|Community] It doesn't matter if he's at both, he still edits.
- [3:47:56pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] btw, she links to wikia, and the wikis at wikia link back to us
- [3:47:59pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] just so you know
- [3:48:20pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] she/he
- [3:48:25pm] [Chaser] "1 for our 100 and 10 for your 1000", that still in the same percentage
- [3:48:37pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] ^
- [3:48:40pm] [Chaser] 1%
- [3:48:45pm] [C8|Community] Besides, many of your 1000 have actually been detrimental for your wiki :P
- [3:48:58pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] A needed evil
- [3:49:03pm] ArchAngelus (bd385cd2@gateway/web/freenode/ip.189.56.92.210) has quit IRC. (Page closed) (Dec-26-2011)
- [3:49:15pm] [C8|Community] Honestly, how often do you go to someone's talk page and get that feeling "I think this guy will be the next big thing"?
- [3:49:29pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] I dont welcome people myself
- [3:49:40pm] [Chaser] only 2 people do that, LA and MV
- [3:49:40pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Unless I saw them working
- [3:49:47pm] [Chaser] overall anyway
- [3:50:19pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] I can understand why you guys need to merge so badly, I really can. But I dont see the benefit for us. Because there isnt so far
- [3:50:30pm] [C8|Community] More rational editors.
- [3:50:43pm] [LegoAlchemist] http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Future_of_the_Kingdom_Hearts_wiki
- [3:50:44pm] [C8|Community] More regular non-staffers who are actually as competent as staffers.
- [3:50:49pm] [LegoAlchemist] This forum.
- [3:51:01pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Yes, Lego?
- [3:51:04pm] [LegoAlchemist] This was when the idea of a remerge was initially brought up.
- [3:51:08pm] [ErryK|KH] I'm mainly after the merge because I want all conflict to end.
- [3:51:16pm] [LegoAlchemist] Yes.
- [3:51:25pm] [LegoAlchemist] Benefits for you guys:
- [3:51:27pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] And Chit, all of those dont defeat my points
- [3:51:34pm] [C8|Community] *your point
- [3:51:42pm] [LegoAlchemist] You no longer have to deal with the conflict between the two wikis
- [3:52:03pm] [LegoAlchemist] All the tension that exists -- like the tension there is now -- will go.
- [3:52:42pm] [LegoAlchemist] You will also have a roster of experienced users/staff at your disposal.
- [3:52:54pm] [C8|Community] Access to more resources.
- [3:53:39pm] [LegoAlchemist] Like I think Chitty has been saying, a group of long-time experienced editors is far superior to a steady income of noobs.
- [3:53:48pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] Decide: Are out users experienced or not? because you say both that you'd like their exelent work, and that if we merge we'll just then get experienced editors.
- [3:53:51pm] [Dark-EnigmaXIII] *our users
- [3:54:00pm] [LegoAlchemist] They are not AS experienced.
- [3:54:04pm] [LegoAlchemist] Is what I am trying to say.
- [3:54:19pm] [LegoAlchemist] Basically everyone on .net is a veteran. Has been editing the wiki for a very long time.
- [3:54:27pm] [LegoAlchemist] And the only reason they are there is because they CARE ABOUT THE WIKI.
- [3:54:31pm] [LegoAlchemist] The
- [3:54:52pm] [LegoAlchemist] The "Split" happened because a group of editors were so frustrated with wikia's changes that they thought it would harm the wiki.
- [3:55:21pm] [LegoAlchemist] Maybe they were wrong, maybe they were right. That isn't important.
- [3:56:00pm] [LegoAlchemist] What the editors at .net have is an immense amount of devotion to the wiki -- a devotion that, in my opinion, far surpasses the devotion at wikia.
- [3:56:10pm] [ErryK|KH] The merge is really for the best, if it doesn't happen then the worst case scenario I envisioned would happen in that there'd be more hate spewed about.
- [3:56:23pm] [LegoAlchemist] These people were so fearful of wikia's changes that they moved their entire wiki to a different website.
- [3:56:36pm] [LegoAlchemist] I would call that veeeery devoted.
- [3:56:51pm] [LegoAlchemist] Hey: Another advantage -
- [3:56:53pm] [LegoAlchemist] NO WIKIA.
