But that's exactly the issue I see. We enjoy ourselves a liiittle too much, don't you think? Umm...'scuse me, but you've about lost me. Enjoy ourselves too much? What do we come here for? It's not like being on a wiki is a chore or a job.

That's good and all, but partying until the wiki completely dies out isn't going to really do much. Have you ever seen the aftermath of a house party? It's not a very pretty sight. Ooh, and imagine the look on the parents' faces when they get home. Yep. You've definitely lost me.

Like, what the heck are you talking about anyway? Partying until the wiki dies out? Have you seen all the work we've been doing on policies, cleanup, and other things for wiki improvement? Akri practically blew a blood vessel over the stress of keeping this place in order. There is nothing wrong with having a little fun on the side with community events and whatnot.

Furthermore, What is this "mess" you're talking about? The aftermath of said party? The awards are very cut and dry when they end; the only "mess" in the "aftermath" is adding all the award templates to the winners. That's really all there is to it.

Moreover, I don't even care about catering to non-Sonic fans at all. At no point did I suggest or imply that as a point. I'm a non-Sonic fan, and I'm still here because there are people that I like. . or were. Has anyone looked at the chat recently? There's that house party aftermath I was talking about. Because apparently someone got butthurt that a more active coder on the site made a bot and everyone liked it and he didn't, that got taken down in spite of the fact that having Christobor on the site at all was voted upon and passed.

What better way to fellate ourselves than to host periodic awards four times a year, every year? I genuinely believe that the wiki awards should be an earned privilege, and I also believe that this is largely why much of the internet views us as a joke, because we're just that self-serving. It's honestly a little embarrassing, and maybe it's past time we at least consider that as being an answer for our unquestioned and unspoken woes.

You did imply such a point, as the bolded words show. Admittedly, I was mostly generalizing, however you are not the first nor the only person to bring up the "state of the wiki" issue. I've been sitting on the sidelines through it all but frankly I'm getting a little bit sick of it.

But Like I said, I don't visit the chatroom. I don't know what kind of "parties" go on over there, but the deal with the bot sounds petty and irrelevant.
