the old saying, perhaps heard far too often, is that nothing can last forever and indeed nothing should.. all things must pass and give way to new things, without getting too into the whole philosophy of cycles and their place in innumerable cultures I am beginning to think on a few things myself.

perhaps it is nearing my time to pass, I haven't been as active as I used to be yet I've always "kept the throne" as it were, yet what good is someone that just sits around all day in their imaginary little castle and watches the equally imaginary "kingdom" from afar?

the answer, bluntly, is not much.. which is why it is maybe time for me to fully step down, so that the "old regime" as it were can be officially ended and the new one begin.

the world is a complex place, forever changing and it can be hard to accept the changes - especially when they come quickly : if my time is coming I would prefer to walk into the unknown rather than being dragged out into the wilderness or worse still remain and stagnate in my little bubble..

so I suppose this is just me thinking outloud as I watch a community I've seen grow for several years march on as strong as ever - if this started as a "kingdom" it has well and truly become an "empire" and I guess no matter what I ultimately decide I can say that it has been an interesting and varied ride.

from a rather small wiki that was mixed between categorizing villains and evil concepts as well as role playing elements we have evolved into one of the largest wikis in the wikia community and have fully dedicated ourselves to being a database of villainous characters and organizations - a medium that ensures the wiki will grow forever..

not only that but the wiki has formed sister wikis such as Heroes Wiki, Evil Wiki, Fanon Wiki, the Real Life Wikis and many more.. we should bring more attention to these sites as they are ensuring that while this wiki is becoming the database of villains it was meant to be the other elements of the wiki are not lost.

so, after all is said and done : we've done good.
