::For a community that's about building, we don't do a lot of things constructively...

Sorry about that edit on [[Anacondrai Soldier]]. I feel a little bit foolish :P --<span style="margin-right:12px;text-shadow:#fff 0px 1px 0, #000 0 -1px 0;color:gray;font-family:Tahoma;font-size:20px;padding:1px;background-color:darkgrey;">LK901</span> 18:44, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
* Haha, totally ok LK :D
== Re: "I don't understand" on Brickia ==
Hi NovaFlare, I was reading your talk page because I've been trying to see what you've been up to, as you probably know. I just wanted to give a reply to the section which Berry created. I agree with most of what you're saying.
* Yes, users like Awesomeknight bother me a lot because they do nothing but pretend that they do. There are several users like that, but honestly there are users like that in any community that requires contributions such as wiki editing. Yeah, since our community is so tightly-knit, it seems as the "useless" users (I don't like to refer to people as useless because everyone has potential) are more of a saturation in this community. But they aren't, or at least they don't have to be. There are users who do hard work here. You may think you're doing all the work but you're not. You're doing a lot and that's great. Just try not to let the bad parts of the community upset you because there are always the good parts such as yourself. It may be harder to look at what we can consider to be the good parts because you ''are'' part of the good part, but I guarantee that the entire community is not like Awesomeknight.
* I'd just like to let you know that as of next year, the lack of a sufficient server should no longer be a problem. We already have a confirmed $300 USD donation to come in for us to upgrade our server for next year.
* I don't want you to say that I own the site. I don't, and over the past year I've been trying to involve myself less in "running" the Brickimedia network and focusing more specifically on Brickipedia individually. I was supposed to resign from the system administrator team at the start of 2014 but that didn't happen because everyone just seemed to expect me to have that responsibility— every time something wouldn't work, they'd come to me, so I couldn't really drop that responsibility as easily as I intended. I've already planned on not being a part of the Brickimedia Board next year, if it even exists next year (I'm actually trying to disband it completely since it's useless and doesn't help communities).
** On the point of official friends--
*** BS01 and HS01 were added per a request by BS01 staff member Swert
*** Brickset and Rebrickable were added because they integrated with our site using our content on their set pages on the account they'd be linked back to
** The [[Vic Viper]] page was not made against a policy. There is no policy against creating pages users (and the community) sees relevant towards the subject of LEGO. Vic Viper is no less an official building style than [[Microscale]] (which has no citations on the page justifying its name, whereas Vic Viper has citations linking to a LEGO set designer stating that the Vic Viper building trend was an inspiration for a couple of his set designs). Of all the things I can see you getting upset at here, this is one I can't understand. Being upset at the lack of forum activity or active contributors is a fair concern, but being upset about someone creating pages that aren't explicitly listed on the MOS doesn't seem like a good concern.
** Me swearing in chat-- It's not fair for you to hold past mistakes against me when you know I worked to improve my conduct in chat after I became an administrator.
** "And Meiko makes out like he's a saint for not blocking me and a poor victim in a tragic incident of course"-- Acting like a "saint" was not my intention here. It's more of the fact where I would not feel right emotionally to be blocking the person who was my primary role model in the community whom I learned the most from over the past ~2 years that I've been a member here.
** "some poser bossing me around all the time"-- It hurts me that you'd say this, where I don't think I ever bossed you around. In my mind, I've enjoyed working ''alongside'' you for the past year at Brickimedia. I enjoyed the ability to build the site based on your feedback you gave at GitHub. I also enjoyed going through your ideas, such as Forum:The_reincarnation, since for the longest time the thing that bothered me most about the forums here was that it felt like I was the only one coming up with new ideas of ways to do things here. Of course not all of them are good, but that's what made it nice to have you around, because you'd give valuable insight and criticism that I could respect since I respected you as a senior member of the community.
**"Thing is, it's also made him irreplaceable. You start questioning him too much, he threatens to leave, and you know the place would completely die without support from his contacts, so you get back in line. I'm expendable, Meiko's not. So it's much better for me to leave and come here and we stay right away from each other, and we can both be happy." -- I don't like to think of myself as irreplaceable, at least not any moreso than you or anyone else. It's immature of me to threaten to leave, but often times it's also a way for me to mentally cope with the stresses I get here sometimes, possibly in a similar way to you recently going back to Brickia has done for you. But I don't have the ability to go back to Brickia. I may say I'm leaving for good, but I always end up coming back. Part of that is because for most of the last 2 years I had little to no life outside of school and the internet (thankfully that's stopped being the case), and part of it is also because my work towards this community ''is'' irreplaceable ''to me''. Without this wiki, I don't feel like I'm serving anyone, and I also feel like I owe you something because you've done a lot of hard work here. If I left, I'd be leaving the rest of the hard work on you, and I don't want that.
***As far as my contacts go, this is another thing I've been trying to change. I '''do not''' want to be the only one who's helping this wiki in public relations. As a matter of fact, I wanted you to be Brickipedia's LEGO Ambassador. You were always better fit for a role like that because you're a senior member here and someone who is truly dedicated, mature, and responsible. Now with me being the Ambassador, it's just one more responsibility I'll have to take up and one more place for my inexperience to show.
***As for the last few words in what I quoted from you, we both aren't happy. I don't want to be on this site without someone like you here. As a matter of fact, when you stated you planned on retiring, that was a real shock to me. I was honestly concerned as to whether or not I'd be able to keep up what I had been doing as well as take some of the slack you'd leave behind, because I know for a fact I'm not as experienced an administrator as you-- which leads me to another important point:
****Neither of us are perfect. I can't do everything you expect me to do given my schedule. But I do everything I can, as do you. You aren't perfect either, and I mean that in a sincere way. You're a great person and like I said, the biggest role model I had here. But I feel like you expect more and see things worse than they really are. As a matter of fact, Brickimedia's doing better than ''I'' thought it was. Our monthly visitor count has grown by 975% in the past year. We're getting more contributions a day on average than we have been in 2 years (even when we all were at Brickia). When I looked at these statistics the other day it actually made me very proud.
*** And let me just state it again. '''You are not expendable.''' You're no less important to this community than Berrybrick, CJC, or anyone else is.
** "I also miss getting new editors, and I miss the enthusiasm. Noone ever seems very enthusiastic about LEGO over there anymore. Maybe it's because blogs/forums are never used, I don't know. But looking through the recent changes here, it just seems... happier." -- This is not something I can solve alone. When I joined Brickipedia, there wasn't even that enthusiasm you remember. If we want to bring that kind of enthusiasm back, I'd need you, since I haven't been around long enough to know how it used to be or what kinds of things used to work and what didn't.
*And to the things I've said about you-- I don't want you to listen to them. Whatever negative things I've said about you were my way of trying to mentally beat you up so that I didn't feel as bad about you having left. I know that's a really bad thing for me to have done, but the fact that you left made me nearly lose hope. When you lose hope however you have a place to "escape" to. Like I said, I can't go back to Brickia though, so I'm stuck here.
And that leaves me with the following questions:
* Why did you say you disabled/password-scrambled your Wikia account when you didn't? It just makes me feel a bit betrayed, because the fact that you no longer had a Wikia account is one of the main reasons I chose to abandon Wikia as well and to work on building Brickimedia so that you and I'd be able to contribute there. Since I was globally blocked, you having not actually disabled your account seems like the kind of prank where two people are doing something risky and then one of them backs out of it at the last second.
* Are you not happy with my current position in the community? I know that I'm not, but I don't want to leave any position I have without it being "safe" to do. If you're not happy with me as an administrator or a bureaucrat, or anything else here, just say so.
* Which is really better? Contributing to a site without your friends you've made over the years just because of mistakes made by one less experienced person, or staying around with the people you've come to know very well and to help inspire newer users to help take up some of the hard work that you feel you're the only one doing? I'd rather see the latter, since it's what you've done for me up until now. If you were to come back, I wouldn't have anything to hold against you.
I've left out several things I'd like to say to you here because it's too much to go over, and as you said, "Because typing this didn't take longer than actually making a proper article for once." If you don't take this sincerely or don't even bother reading it all, I'll have wasted an hour writing this, but I took that hour out of my schedule because I think it's important for you to understand my side of this and my concerns. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 03:24, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Firstly, I only came on here to assure everyone I'm not copying any content on Wikia (even on pages where I was the sole contributor), I am writing it from scratch. But I may as well reply to this as well.
-----
* I definitely don't think I'm doing ''all'' the work, I know there are a few of us out there, and yes, I have bot edits disabled in the RC, so it was totally stupid of me to not check that before making any accusations.
* Server upgrade: that's great news, hope that fixes everything with the themetable and smw calls
* Vic Viper- fair enough- you could probably go back a few years (I would say around 2008 or so) and dig up some forum where we decided that all that sort of stuff belonged on the customs wiki (at Wikia, years before we brought customs back into Bricki). And then when we brought back the customs wiki, to do away with the "fan" pages. But, like many of those decisions, there was no actual official policy page written. And of course you can't be expected to trawl through 1000 pages every time you want to make something, so my bad.
* Swearing in chat, still saw it occasionally (very rarely) in the last year ago, but I totally agree it's improved. But that wasn't the point, I just find it strange how everyone else is warned except you for such things (which obviously isn't your fault).
* @"enthusiam point" - but that's the thing- on the other site, the enthusiam's still kinda there- people are making blogs and forums all the time, making polls about lego, new users are coming in and making their userpages, introducing themselves and saying what themes they like, maybe making a blog to say hi. Here, we've had 179 users sign up on en since August 1. 175 of them have been spambots or socks (maybe slightly less, I only had a quick read, there are only 3 bluelinks, and one redlinked username I recognise). Most of the posts on the other site aren't exactly "high quality" edits, but it does seem to promote a positive atmosphere. Chat PMs and secret admin wikis seem to be doing the opposite. All policy decisions and votes for new positions used to be out in the open, and everyone used to be on the same page. I guess I still feel that the only things that should be on the admin wiki are sockpuppet investigations to protect people's personal information, and AFD. With votes being done where people can't even read them, it just feels like some users are being put well above others. But this could all very well just be me, and it's starting to get way off track.
* As for the rest- ignore it. Usually, the longer I write, the angrier I get, and I'm an idiot :P I apologise for all that stuff, it's really just me blowing off steam, and I honestly don't "hate" you or anything like that. I guess the main thing that annoys me is that for a lot of things, in most recent times, for official friends, or whether we allow links to confidential images, it's meant to be up to ''us'', the community, not people other sites, or not solely you. Want to make a policy change? Run a forum, if noone responds because they're all too lazy, then just go ahead do it, that's all I'm really asking.
Questions:
* Why did you say you disabled/password-scrambled your Wikia account when you didn't?
** I honestly thought I did. Then I tried my old password about a year ago to try and copy over my watchlist for Wookieepedia, and it worked. I think it must be glitch and not have actually saved the "scrambled" password, much in the same way that I can't vote in any polls on Wikia (I hit "vote" and it just reloads the page).
* Are you not happy with my current position in the community?
** Totally happy. The site definitely needs someone like you who's friendly and out there promoting the site.
* Which is really better? Contributing to a site without your friends you've made over the years just because of mistakes made by one less experienced person, or staying around with the people you've come to know very well and to help inspire newer users to help take up some of the hard work that you feel you're the only one doing?
** I don't know, I feel I've "burnt my bridges" with most of the community here, I'd be surprised if the majority actually wanted me back. I know I wouldn't want me back. Going back to Wikia wasn't about "revenge" or whatever, it was more about a fresh start. Honestly, I don't know what I'll do. However I will finish making the 2015 pages on Wikia, I feel I owe Matau at least that much at the very least after going back.
{{unsigned|someone who doesn't even know what to call themselves anymore :P}}
*** Just about the not wanting you back, it's not true. I've really felt the forum inactivity without you. This site will really die if people keep leaving. :P --<span style="margin-right:12px;text-shadow:#fff 0px 1px 0, #000 0 -1px 0;color:gray;font-family:Tahoma;font-size:20px;padding:1px;background-color:darkgrey;">LK901</span> 16:05, 29 September 2014 (UTC) |

With votes being done where people can't even read them, it just feels like some users are being put well above others. But this could all very well just be me, and it's starting to get way off track.
* As for the rest- ignore it. Usually, the longer I write, the angrier I get, and I'm an idiot :P I apologise for all that stuff, it's really just me blowing off steam, and I honestly don't "hate" you or anything like that. I guess the main thing that annoys me is that for a lot of things, in most recent times, for official friends, or whether we allow links to confidential images, it's meant to be up to ''us'', the community, not people other sites, or not solely you. Want to make a policy change? Run a forum, if noone responds because they're all too lazy, then just go ahead do it, that's all I'm really asking.
Questions:
* Why did you say you disabled/password-scrambled your Wikia account when you didn't?
** I honestly thought I did. Then I tried my old password about a year ago to try and copy over my watchlist for Wookieepedia, and it worked. I think it must be glitch and not have actually saved the "scrambled" password, much in the same way that I can't vote in any polls on Wikia (I hit "vote" and it just reloads the page).
* Are you not happy with my current position in the community?
** Totally happy. The site definitely needs someone like you who's friendly and out there promoting the site.
* Which is really better? Contributing to a site without your friends you've made over the years just because of mistakes made by one less experienced person, or staying around with the people you've come to know very well and to help inspire newer users to help take up some of the hard work that you feel you're the only one doing?
** I don't know, I feel I've "burnt my bridges" with most of the community here, I'd be surprised if the majority actually wanted me back. I know I wouldn't want me back. Going back to Wikia wasn't about "revenge" or whatever, it was more about a fresh start. Honestly, I don't know what I'll do. However I will finish making the 2015 pages on Wikia, I feel I owe Matau at least that much at the very least after going back.

*** I'd say the majority, as far as I can see, wants you back. I do, at least. (And yes, those examples using me are correct. I barely edit. I don't think En is where my main editing goes to. I am going to be contributing to Stories, though, once I can get my comics up.) --Knight |
