If you google "How do I get the skeleton key in Skyrim?" the first result is TES wiki, querries like that must bring in hundreds of users every day.

Not to mention that it feels a lot easier to settle in here due to the chat function and the forums, than Bethesda's community, it genuinely feels like a more welcoming place.

Who cares what other communities would or would not recommend if most people are more likely to find you first? You can't compare a 100% Forum owned and administrated by a multimillion company with a Wiki with Forum and Chat included. The Bethesda Forums and this Wiki are entirely different. It's like comparing an apple to a pineapple because they have 'apple' in their names.

The Bethesda Forum's community is large, even larger than this Wiki's community.

And let me tell you who cares about what a community says; the ones being part of the community. The Bethesda Forum's community is already larger by itself than this wiki's community, combined with the TIL's community and the UESP's community, it's even larger. If we ever want to get a substantial increase in users for our Community, except the rare new User who actually contributes to the wiki (Forum, Chat, Mainspace), then we'll have to try to change their opinion about us. If we'll never try it, this wiki's staff ranks will be empty within a year. The wiki itself would die within a year after that.
