I assure you that I am no coward, nor am I butthurt. I don't see you as an adult, so it wouldn't be fair for me to get mad at you for acting like a child. I'm simply stating the beliefs I hold based on my own observations, which you have once again justified by levying unnecessary insults and unjustified accusations against Njalm. In and of itself, the fact this wikia is still here is no great accomplishment, so please don't take credit for it. The immaculate detritus of the internet can linger for decades in the absence of activity, masked in a veil of eternal oblivion. But I did say I'd make more productive suggestions, didn't I? Though I still think your resignment would be a good start... 1. Along with Hokaido's suggestions up post of this, your site needs to have better organization. As it stands, you can sift through hundreds of articles without finding any of interest, and even if you do find a good one... without a context, the names, plot, and events don't really hold a reader's attention. At best, only good writing stands to overcome this barrier, but even that isn't really satisfactory. I suggest a bottom-up approach; include a template for allowing users to jointly organize with eachother for the creation of "story arcs". Each story arc should have a main page, which should include a character cast, trivia, and the RPs that have occurred within the arc in chronological order (along with any crossovers that would occur between arcs). A mainpage that includes a list of all ongoing/current story arcs would also streamline how users can navigate the site. 2. You need to have higher requirements in terms of grammar and spelling. I may be unique (I doubt it), but opening a tab to see a page full of unintelligible garble makes me feel like closing the window and doing something less pointless than continuing to read your fanfiction. If the quality of the writing here improves, it will encourage more readers to continue reading, and even to participate if the writing is good enough. Make the site sell itself. If that means having users submit articles for review before posting, or having them edit their content or face deletion, so be it. 3. The style of writing needs to improve, specifically in the RPs. If I were staying, I'd probably have made some articles explaining the fundamentals of dynamic combat and interesting/engaging dialogue, a kind of "Manual of Flair", but as that's not happening, I can't really give you much advice. Having articles to explain these things would go a long way to improving the baseline. 4. You need clans to operate. Without them, there is no way to have users formally organize to create content. Without that content, you have a collection of isolated RPs with no meaningful connections to one another, which kind of negates the purpose of having a fanfiction community in the first place. This kind of problem could feed into point 1. 5. Categorizing characters into Alpha, Beta, and Zeta line characters would allow users to quickly determine if it is appropriate to RP with that character. An alpha line character abides by canonical fact within reasonable interpretation, and exists during the events of the manga. A beta line character changes one or more important details about the bleach universe, but largely maintains the same atmosphere/world/events of the original story. A zeta line character departs from the canon significantly, either by contradicting the canon or by introducing large amounts of original information/content. Please note that I am not condoning favoritism based on these categories; this would simply serve as a shorthand warning/explanation on what the reader can/can't expect. Examples: Alpha: Academy student who witnesses a hollow attack on soul society. Beta: 1st division captain that is not Yamamoto, but otherwise the world is the same. Zeta: A new character with strange/unheard of powers/abilities, who also contradicts canon and surpasses it.

That's my advice. Do with it what you will. However repugnant I come off, I do hope you grow up a bit, perhaps mature into the leader you envision yourself to be. As long as you keep trying to improve, it will just be a matter of time. -Chrono_Nexus
