(inhales, exhales)

Okay, starting with a mild, pleasant subject: Yesterday and today, I had to do state testing, covering Reading, Math, and Science. For the classes, I got 255 (Reading, one of my best subjects), 240-something (Math, probably now my worst subject), and 253 (Science, formerly my worst subject, probably now only my second worst). My reading score far exceeded anything one teacher had seen in a long time, while my math score was between above average and exceeding. My science score is about the same as reading.

Now, onto a real wiki-related subject. A lot of people have been complaining about the following lately:
 * ) Nothing to do on the wiki.
 * ) The horrible content of certain RPs and pages.
 * ) Admins not doing anything.
 * ) People complaining about their lives.

Now, I'm going to confront all of these. While I haven't been very active as of late, I hope people actually listen.

1: Nothing to do on the wiki: FIND SOMETHING TO DO. Instead of whining, talk to your friends! Be imaginative! Make your own RP about something so you can have fun!! Have a little art contest!! Work on your more lackluster articles!! Let your imagination roam and make something new!! B***ing and moaning doesn't do anything to make this place more exciting and fun; only actually TRYING to do something makes this place exciting and fun! Expecting someone to make an RP or blog you'd be interested in is like expecting someone to drop a brand new game in your lap: not gonna happen unless you do something to make it happen!! So get off your whiny @$$3@ and make something happen, or this place WILL just remain boring for you!!

2: The horrible content of certain RPs and pages: Well gee, I guess there's nothing you can do here so you'll just have to- oh wait, you could SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT. There's a little thing called "Talk Pages" for these articles and roleplays: if they're so repuslive to you, say something to the owner!! Maybe you can help them improve their article/roleplay!! You could tell them how to make it better and more interesting!! If they b**** and rage at you, then leave 'em alone, and work on your own articles to prove your point!! If they keep raging and making lousy articles, report them for trolling/spamming!! We have admins for a reason!!

3: Admins not doing anything: ADMINS ARE NOT ALL-KNOWING MIND READERS. Unless you actually tell them "hey, there's a problem [bla bla bla bla], and an admin is needed to fix it.", then don't assume an admin will get involved!! Just like you, admins don't check every single page to see if there's a problem!! Or, they could be on other sites or wikis!! Instead of b****ing and moaning that the admins are lazy and useless, either solve the problem yourself, or instead of expecting an admin to be Superman and swoop in to save the day, TELL THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. Then, you'll likely get some results!!

4: People complaining about their lives: People have every right to do this damnit!! Yes, there IS a limit (exhibit A: Manta-bee), but people come here to talk to friends and vent! And while you're saying that some people don't have a right to complain because others have it harder, keep this in mind: every problem is relative!! Different experiences mean different viewpoints!! To someone rich, losing some money isn't much. To someone without a lot of money, it's pretty damn bad. To someone who's been in a lot of fights, being in another one doesn't mean much. To someone who's never been in a fight, it's pretty big. To someone who is used to being treated roughly, another insult isn't much. To someone without a lot of confidence who isn't used to being picked on, it really hurts. So, rather than get pissed and say "People have been through worse, get over it!!", keep in mind that those complaining aren't those same people!! They're individuals with different experiences and viewpoints!! So, try to understand and be helpful to them instead!!

(deep exhale) And release...

So, those are my thoughts on all the going-ons on the wiki.
