Hi, Oli!

I agree. At the end of the day, any value this blog might have pales when you place it beside any decision the userbase makes in the future. At the end of the day, this blog only served to start conversations instead of make any decisions. All I wanted was to get people's minds moving. Beyond that, I'd like to say I agree with everything you said for the general part. I wouldn't necessarily say distrust is the reason why so many users leave, but alas, I cannot speak for anyone but myself, and I can safely assure you, any recent thoughts of leaving the wikia - which unfortunately, have been many, in very short periods of time - have little to do with that.

Furthermore, I have to admit I'm a bit confused at the bit where you say "it seems like there's been a shun to any of the other contributing factors to why someone might leave". I tried going well beyond anything related to the administration team and also proposed several other reasons why anybody might not be as active, to which users such as Kib, Vic, and Time have all contributed though. However, if I'm misinterpreting your words, do let me know! All I want is to have conversations about this kind of thing, as difficult and uncomfortable as it may be, because at the end of the day, all I want is for DARP to remain a lively, joyful place.
