You all need to remember that, back when Wikia was created, there was no such thing as blogs, chat or even this threaded forum system. Back then, the most important part was mainspace and that's all that existed. It's only in recent times that Wikia decided to go around adding these things to make things more social, but the core fundamentals of any wiki is mainspace: without a mainspace, none of this would even exist.
 * 1) People saying "about us": these kind of comments are exactly why the community is divided. You aren't separate in any way in this community, stop insinuating you are.
 * 2) Stop taking everything like personal attacks and stop attacking others for their opinion. I see the RP'ers basically attacking everyone who doesn't agree with them.

It seems pretty obvious to me that people have lost the purpose of the wiki and it looks as though this is just going to become a one-stop shop of everything to do with TES, regardless if it actually helps to have content.

I won't be posting further here and will just start reporting posts that aren't anything contributive beyond flaming other users for their opinions. I do not want a reply to this post.

@Harold: I have viewed the board and the threads, I don't find them tasteful. I find your tone incredibly rude, there's no need for condescending posts just because someone doesn't RP. This just reinforces my point that there's a clear and obvious divide in the community. 1- What are you going on about? "Us", as in the RP community, you know the users that use the RP board. How am I to address them if not with an "us"? Since I am a part of those users. We are all a part of the TES Wiki, but like there are users that most stay on the chat or those that only edit the mainspace there are those that mostly use the RP Board. We are a small community inside the larger community that is the TES Wiki. I don't get what your problem with this is.

2- You clearly don't understand what we are about and claim we are spammers that care about nothing other than our edit count. That is offensive to me and I am sure to other users in the RP community. You have shown your distain for me before, calling me irrelevant to the wiki. Which is how it seems you view all of the RP community. Also you contradict yourself in your own point. You claim me oversensitive yet you act oversensitive yourself, claim you were attacked when you clearly weren't. I didn't see anyone attack you.

3- We all need to remember? Sajuuk, when you joined in August 2013 there was already an RP board, blogs, chat, etc. Also, without a community a wiki is nothing other than a collection of article pages.

4- Like other users have said, you know why edits in the mainspace have dropped? Because not many people play ESO, I sure don't. Most of the Skyrim and Oblivion pages are already filled with all the content from the games so there isn't much more to add. The other games are so old most users here haven't even played them.

5- You have? Very well, that is your opinion, you are entitled to it. But my tone was neither rude nor condescending, at least not more than your post's tone was. I didn't replied the way I did because you don't RP, but because of what you said, calling all the RPers "spammers".
