Well, I haven't been on this Wiki very long at all, but I've read this blog post a couple of times now, and I have to say this: Though I can't really comment on the decline of users and the lack of enthusiasm (again, I'm really new here, and it hasn't seemed empty to me), I agree that if the pattern of ineffectiveness continues this Wiki could disappear for good. I really like this Wiki, and think that the users here should all try to make it work again. However, it is easier said than done. Creating good long-term character developments is a hard thing to do for many, especially when the fluctuation of users joining and leaving is so great. If users posted a summary of their character development in the suggestion forum or a new forum created specifically for the purpose, other users would know a rough direction of that character's arc, and that would make it easier to RP in that direction. It's not a perfect solution, as I can already see some flaws in it, but I suppose the main problem with character arc is that users just don't have the time or don't care enough to make them. On the issue of chat: I must admit I have only joined a chat once or twice, and then only for a few minutes. The conversations going on at the time seemed, as noted above, random and at times pointless, so I left the discussions. I don't know what to say about this issue, except that there has to be interesting debates or discussions to keep users interested in chatting. I haven't been paying much attention to the quality of my RPing, but after reading this post I will be sure to do so in the future.
