User blog:Angel Emfrbl/Hands tied down...

The One Piece wikia is short staffed and while the votes are on they need some help editing. So the last few days I've had to pitch in to help things along. Their current admin (theres apparently no beaucrat) has pretty much left leaving heaps of problems. Basically, they switched from wikia.com to wikiia.net or whatever its called. So this leaves the wikia unattended, I'd called 2 years ago to sort out the staff problems because the admin was always under pressure, but nothing was ever done. They finally accepted they need more staff and are finally getting 4 members in.

But the votings still happening... And their a larger wikia so the problems are exculating at a steady pace. This is bad for them. I've always tried to not get the wikia staff status and thus withdrew my name from the polls (remember I wasn't happy here when I got it), but at least theres 4 clear winners. But with no vandal control... No deleting method, thats hindering them a lot.

A lot of the older editors are watching over the wikia suddenly while this sorts itself out it seems, as one of the veterans (been with it since 2006 and was one of the first 6 members there - I set up a lot of the guidelines (and they've never changed them -_-). My favourite of the two wikias is this one since its quieter, but the One Piece one needs the extra hands at the moment until it can sort things out. It kind of feels a little uneasy to go back there, I haven't been there much since I began editing on this wikia.  The blogs are exploding with all sorts of things, people are really in a community mode now, its properly as much a community as any forum on the matter out there.

I wish this wikia would take off a little more. I'm going to wipe the forums here this weekend to start a fresh and sit down and plan a new one. Maybe this will help, no one used it before though. Its off putting.

Plus One Piece has entered the Fishman Island arc and well... What can I say, I love editing the fishmen and mermen articles! Er, when I gave up anime, I never gave up following One Piece. Plus, I admit I want a sort break while I ponder over the fanmades a little longer. The main ones are up, its just whats left isn't that easy. ^_^'
