So a lot of people have left this place recently, myself included. I decided to come back and check in, and I had an idea. A better idea than before.

Let's purge the wiki.
Now when I say that I don't mean let's just delete all the articles. I actually mean let's archive everything and start over. I have been sitting on another wiki, which I grabbed to use as a redirect, for a while now. I want to use it as an archive for old, dead articles and pages on SFW.

Here's how I see it working:


 * 1) Every week, SFWBOT would pull 1000 articles that haven't been touched in more than 6 months.
 * 2) Users would have a week to mark anything in that group that they still want.
 * 3) Anything that isn't marked would be auto-copied to the archive wiki and edit protected there.
 * 4) The page on SFW would then be deleted with a delete message that has a link to the archived page.
 * 5) If someone finds their pages deleted and wants them back, they can simply copy them back to the main wiki again.

This will allow us to clean out ancient articles that don't meet our standards, and will allow us to clean up the appearance of the wiki. This will hopefully make it more appealing to more users, maybe increasing traffic a bit.

I've talked with a lot of people who already left. This is something we need to do. There's a lot of trash on this wiki, and it's time to take it out. I think we're all tired of swatting flies.
