Well, it's finally time. This will be the final post I will be making here on Wikitubia. I feel like I've already made a lot of these, so I will only touch on what I haven't yet before I am gone: my invocation.
Firstly, I ask that the community value my direction for Wikitubia, whether by keeping the rules orderly, upholding the worth in the staff hierarchy, or keeping precedents. That being said, not everything I did was without trial and error, so be open to changing the ways if they aren't working. But I don't need to say this, as you guys are more capable than you give yourselves credit. Don't think "What would Cluckster do?" because the only thing that made me stand out from any other user here was my passion and will to change the things that mattered to me here, and if you have the same, the wiki will be better off and you will all be great users.
On the opposite note, don't make the same mistakes as I did. I often had ambitious ideals, but when put into motion, they made things worse. And also be more open to differing ideas and willing to share authority on decisions. But most importantly, care about the content. For the last several years, I and others have pushed to the side the very core of this wiki, its articles, to pursue managing the moderation. But in doing so, it's made our page quality problem even worse than ever. So I ask you all, to fix this. It will not be easy, it may take ambitious projects to obtain, but it will be worth it. The survival of this website depends on it.
Finally, I want to emphasize I am leaving Wikitubia for good. I will not edit or message on Wikitubia, or its Discord, after January 1. I do not want to return here, so please do not try to find me elsewhere, and please respect my privacy. Even then, I will avoid checking Wikitubia, as I want to be done here. I have enjoyed being here, but nothing can last forever. I have full confidence in the abilities of the staff team and community as a whole going forward.
I know I have been being pretentious for this whole process, but to me this was the most fun way to leave. And with that, I bid you adieu. Godspeed to you all.
