Hey, remember the former admin that nobody cares about and constantly makes annoying announcements to leave this wiki and return?Â
Don't worry, this time, I'm leaving for good and I hope y'all are happy about it, but I'll still rant about it and vent on the reasons why I'm leaving because I'm a loudmouthed, self-centered, selfish prick of a user who enjoys writing long paragraphs complaining about other users and failing to realize their own faults.
I have two main reasons for leaving this wiki once and for all, and to be honest, I think this is one of the best decisions I'll ever make in my entire time in the wiki, which admittedly doesn't include much, but who knows? Maybe you'll agree with me once you finish reading this entire essay.Â
But with that said, let me get this dead 200-word intro out of the way and actually get on with this whole rant.
No Motivation
My first reason is the simple fact I have no motivation to continue contributing to this wiki. This was probably already obvious from my inactivity in this wiki for the past half year or so, but why do I have no motivation?
First of all, the way this wiki is run and the way this wiki is managed differs from my ideologies, but that wouldn't be so bad if the staff members (well, only Nusdan)Â didn't have the need to nitpick all of my suggestions whenever they had some sort of flaw, to the point where he is more or less being a complete bitch towards me, but more on that later.
Furthermore, a lot of the people I worked with when I initially joined the wiki have left, and to me, this wiki has become a sort of an empty shell and a shadow of its former self. Seeing as I've also started contributing actively to the Wings of Fire Wiki instead, I begun to realize I enjoyed the community much more than the GD Fan Wiki community, whereas I barely interacted with anyone there nor knew anyone there.Â
Honestly, I'm not sure what else to say about this. Me leaving this wiki and moving on to another community is not just the best thing for me, but the best thing for the entire community itself.
Nusdan
I'll be honest, this is the real reason why I made a whole thread post out of this instead of just leaving quietly. Yeah, maybe it's not mature of me to do this and you can call me an attention whore or loudmouthed all you want, but I've had enough of one person - Nusdan. The reason I'm ranting about him like this is because I feel that his general behavior and attitude towards certain users are toxic and unacceptable.
I bear no ill will to any of the staff, even Nusdan, and I don't see the point in arguing about this endlessly, so I figured it's up to y'all what you want to about this, but after this forum post, I will avoid editing in the wiki at all if I can. Anyways, back on topic - the problem I have with the staff is that they are making no progress with "revamping" the wiki, and I have given them suggestions on numerous occasions, so far to the point where I was being accused of minimodding and acting as if I was a staff member even though I was not.
I will admit that I did overreact to that accusation and it was completely uncalled for me to start lashing out at people instead of calming down and reacting rationally. However, he also insulted me and nitpicked me on quite a few instances when it was not necessary, but I didn't bother to make a big deal about it until just yesterday, when he replied to a message I made three months ago:
Now, this message I made on his wall pretty much sums my whole standpoint up:
Even though I do admit there are better ways to resolve this, I honestly don't think it would work. I simply don't see the need to have a cordial discussion with Nusdan nor the avail to doing so when it's very unlikely Nusdan will acknowledge his own behavior and whenever someone has criticized him in some way, he had replied back with a barrage of sarcastic comments and insults that nitpick the other user. I can understand doing so when he was attacked first, but this is his reply to a simple comment about a category.Â
Honestly, this really does nothing other than to show Nusdan is an immature person who refuses to acknowledge his own faults and replies back to any criticism with insults or the best-case scenario, simply saying he doesn't care.Â
Yes, I admit it was not very mature or reasonable of me to make that sarcastic remark in the beginning, but remember, that was from over three months ago. Honestly, for the sake of this wiki, I believe Nusdan should just in general approach people with a better attitude and act more responsible as the only bureaucrat of the wiki.
Other than that, because of the attitude he approaches me with and his constant tendency to nitpick every single flaw in what started out to be a simple suggestion, I'm honestly more than happy to leave this wiki behind and just not have to deal with this shit anymore.
Conclusion
With that said, I take my leave from this wiki for good.Â
Despite the controversy and conflicts that had surrounded me in this wiki, I thank everyone who stood by me here and everyone who were my friends here. I'm sorry I couldn't just leave quietly or leave on a more serene note, but like I said, the main purpose of this thread was not to get sympathy from other users, but to make note of Nusdan's immature and irresponsible behavior and toxic attitude.Â
So, what's my future from this point if anyone cares? As I mentioned before, I have started actively contributing to another wiki - the Wings of Fire Wiki, and honestly, my decision to start contributing there was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. The community there was very welcoming, friendly and accepting towards me and for the first time in a while, I enjoyed myself being a wiki editor once again.
If anyone wishes to keep in touch with me, feel free to friend me on Discord (Emp#7287) or check out the WoF Wiki yourself.
Other than that, I wish you a happy new year and a good day, and one word: Goodbye.
