I may of went on a little ramble last forum and the confusion was understandable, as will be the confusion on this forum but I'll not be making too many more.. the last forum was an inner-turned-outer argument with myself over whether I really "belonged" on this wiki anymore..

I've been told by certain factions I'm not really needed, that I may be "out of date" and all the usual pleasantness that comes with internet interactions.. they don't tend to bother me (especially after these factions then decide the best way to try and convince me to leave is the old "n" word tactic).

after listening to far saner and productive members of the wiki both on forum and off-forum I've come to realize I may not be very active, I may not always have the authority to stop certain changes I dislike and I may not even always have the backing I used to in certain matters but I will always have one important thing:

love.

simply put, I have always loved this wiki and I most likely always will, I love the way it changes and survives said changes without devolving into the childish mess many other sites do.. I love that many users aren't afraid to voice themselves and enter debates, I love that admins try and encourage sensible debates and don't see themselves as overlords dealing with "pesky peasants" and I love the fact we're one of the biggest wikis around and are one of the very few with the potential to grow infinitely..

so as the colossal empire that is Villains Wiki grows ever onwards I guess I'm content to stay around, monitoring what I can and trusting the admins to keep order as well as users themselves.. we'll always have downs, we may even have the odd riot or two but what community doesn't?

you've all made this wiki what it is today, be proud of that.. I am.. it is that pride that keeps me coming back and even when reality tries to draw me away I find myself returning.. because this wiki was special back when it began and it remains special now.

there.. no more "soppy stuff".. to quote B.P. Richfield (who many seem to think I mirror) : "Get Back to Work!"
