 * Have fun. Demote me when whenever kyle gets back. - Auron 07:24, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Dude, you guys are leaving me as the only Bcrat left? -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 18:45, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * What prediction of Auron's would the header be referring to? --◄mendel► 18:04, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

You know what?
I defy you. I don't care if you're right. I don't care if promoting Mendel was a stupid idea. I don't care if it leads to the detriment of the Wiki. If we are going to crash, then I want to go out in style, doing things my way and following my heart. That may sound stupid and illogical to you, but that's too bad. If you want to QQ and rage from the wiki, then it's just that much more convenient for me, since it saves me the trouble of demoting you anyway.

You're one of the smartest and most logical people that I have ever met. More than anyone else in my life, you have been proven right countless time and time again. I still bow to your superiority in so many aspects, and I will forever treasure the lessons I have learned under your tutorship. You have been invaluable in, quite simply, teaching me to be a better person.

Nevertheless, the simple fact is that you are often abrasive, unnecessarily rude, and you continue to be a divider instead of a uniter for the Wiki community. Most of the users here do not like you; they respect you for your abilities, which is completely different. Of course, you're not here to make friends and could care less. "The truth hurts sometimes, doesn't it?" Yes, it does. But no matter how right you are, that does not give you a permanent excuse for being a dick just for the lolz. It's one thing to bash idiots on the Smiter's Boon talkpage; it's another to randomly pop on IRC and ask my sysops if they "usually suck each other off so much" (just to name one example). GuildWiki is not IRC, but that still affects the community here.

Thus, even though it matters not now, I'd like to tell you that I was going to remove you from Bureaucrat anyway. It was a mistake to promote you, I believe. The only truly bureaucratic actions that you have taken in your career was to promote R. Phalange, and that was also a mistake with resounding impacts on the wiki.

So...have fun, and enjoy yourself on GWW/GW2W/PvX. I'm sorry things had to end like this. (T/C) 19:04, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * For what its worth, I do not oppose Entropy's promotion of mendel, and if I felt GuildWiki need more sysops, I would probably end up being supportive of Mendel as a candidate. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 19:07, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * YAY ENTROPY IS BACK! &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 19:08, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm... very happy now. You've finally done it. Unfortunately, this wiki is already dead, and isn't going to get better. I just hope the things I've taught you will help you better serve GW2W. - Auron 23:38, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * As long as I'm here, this wiki will never be dead. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 00:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Proclaiming a wiki dead when its content is still expanding is akin to calling you dead because one day you're going to die. --◄mendel► 00:10, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * To be fair, there are multiple definitions for "deadness" for a wiki. GuildWiki, and even GWW, can very well be already dead according to some definitions while alive in others. Disagreeing over whether an ambiguous adjective applies is relatively futile. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 00:16, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * For the nothing that my comment is worth I see no signs of death in this wiki while we still have the crazy antics of a long list of people of whom we all know. There will always be things to do here. Content will expand. Vandals will be vandals. GuildWikians will be GuildWikians. We'll find ways to breathe life into it if we so choose.

 * We're not dying, we're just... using up our life in order to empower future wikis.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  01:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, you are correct as usual, Auron. But, I choose to delay the inevitable rather than give up and call it quits. That's no fun. GW2W is a ghost wiki right now anyways; I'm not going anywhere near there till there's some real content worth overseeing. Actually, I may not bother to go at all; a year is a long time, and I am still uncertain about if I'll even play GW2W. If not, then there's no point me wasting my time on a wiki for it.

 * Balistic Pve is pretty much running things over there now. I'd be quite happy to give you ownership of the wiki, Entropy, if you wanted. I'm terrible at managing things, especially time. :\. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 01:15, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * ??? Unless Balistic Pve goes by a different name on GW2W, or this is some mysterious socked post, I have no idea what you are talking about. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:23, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * She's talking about GuildWiki2, the wikia version. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 01:25, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Lolsorry, Entrea's link linked to gw2wikia :P &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 01:26, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh...that. As far as I am concerned, GuildWiki 2 does not exist. >.> [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:43, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't know about gw2w either. Just in the two and a half years I've known wikis, I've seen a bunch of great editors come and go - I'm thinking we're going to lose more than we find before gw2w gets started. Like you, I don't know what I'll be doing in two years. I might be holed up in Afghanistan, doing tech work for the army. I might still be here in hawaii, doing music or whatever. GW2 might suck, at which point I would promote someone early and stop contributing. There are too many maybes on GW2W to make it worth any time or effort so far. I wish ANet hadn't created it this early tbh. - Auron 01:29, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Death?
Dear Auron,

This wiki is not "dying." A "dead" wiki is not one with a dwindling userbase or even with no edits on a day-to-day basis, but one that has been abandoned before completion. We here at GuildWiki are working towards completion. We acknowledge that the day will come when there is no longer anything to add. We know that GuildWiki will last only as long as Guild Wars does. But this is not something to be delayed or avoided. This, ladies and gentlemen, is our ultimate goal! We want to create the most complete documentation of the game known as Guild Wars. We are all partners, working together to complete a project. Yes, people will inevitably grow weary and leave, but new users will come to pick up the slack! This is the beauty of the wiki format. People who have never met but share a vision can come together from across the world to work toward a common goal. I look forward to the day this wiki is finished. I want to stand back with all my friends and look at what we've created. This wiki is more than just the content of Guild Wars- it is a project that has united the hearts and minds of every person who has ever shared his time here. And that is something that cannot die. 01:25, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep telling yourself that. - Auron 01:31, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * We will, tyvm. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 01:40, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
