Well, I do have to say - this blog was deep. It was deep, and at least to me, it got the message across. I'm saddened to discover the extent of which this goes, but I can see now, and I truthfully don't know what I can say. I'm sorry for taking part in your pain. I was a big part, I'll admit that. I don't... I don't want to come across as though I'm simply looking to be in the spotlight, or wanna get myself out of trouble. I'm not. Situations I thought would have been fixed by now clearly aren't. And I'm very sorry I didn't see it sooner.

That said, uttering an apology isn't enough. I'll also say that. I want to help, I want to offer a helping hand and get rid of the cliques here, because I agree that they exist when they shouldn't. DARP was supposed to be a safe place, but I see now that it only causes more pain. Running away from these sort of problems won't help, much less ignoring it, so I truly hope we can do something to fix this.

I know it'll be to no avail if only one of us puts in the effort, so I want to reach out to everyone. From the popular users, to the users that feel like Fandom, to everyone. I want to know how we can get better, as a community. I'm not looking for an easy fix that'll barely hold for a month. I want an actual, complete fix as long as it may take. Again, I'm not seeking to be something I'm not - I genuinely want to help out.

I feel relieved that you posted this blog. Don't misunderstand and believe that I am happy you feel like this. I'm relieved in the sense that you came forth and opened up. It couldn't have been easy, I'd imagine, fearing what the reaction of the wiki may be right now. I thank you for presenting what is possibly the biggest fault in this community. Now, we need to address that.

How do you propose we better this situation? How can we include everyone? Is there some form of a system you wanted to put up, to prevent this? We've tried with UR, but it seems as though that didn't work. Should we do regular community meetings? Place administrative meetings into effect again? Should we do chat logs? I truly want to help you and the rest of DARP's userbase. I don't want anyone else to feel the way you do. I truly don't. If I can do something, anything, please let me know. Until then, I look forward to your response. x :)
