Perhaps it would be easier to understand under the perspective that this place holds a lot of mixed emotions for the most active contributors. Frankly, it's something I'm really embarrassed about as I've said and written my fair share of awful garbage. That's why we asked you to wipe our content. Even though it was at one time active, this community has always been a small one, more like a combined system of projects between a friend group than anything else - just one that happened to churn out a lot of content back in the day.



Our vitriol against it was and is fueled by our negative experiences with the site and self awareness of the content we made when we were younger. I don't just mean minor kerfuffles, either. I don't know if you were around to see any of it, but shit happens, and that contributing to most of us getting older, having different interests, and other obligations lead to its collapse. Sometimes poking fun at something is the only way you can deal with some of that. We have different perspectives on it now, and hindsight is easy to make jokes about.



With that said, while I appreciate you acknowledging and being honest about your inactivity, I'd like to point out that the owner before you did actually, in essence, "own" this place. He created it. He put in a lot of content and hours into it. This has and always will be his wiki, basically. Your only reasoning for taking it was to revive this place, and seeing that you agree with me on your inactive status, I see no reason for you to keep it any longer. He was the owner because he made and maintained this place for years, and I think it's about time you give back what you rudely took when everyone spoke against it, especially since you have done this before only to leave them in "slop". Seems like you're not really cut out for the position in general yet.



It doesn’t matter whether or not this stays inactive if it’s transferred back to him. He’s the rightful owner, and it’s his  call as to whether or not he wants to give that position away. He didn’t want this. I didn’t want this. Several other people didn’t want this. Do you see where I’m getting at here? You didn’t live up to the goal, and you’ve clearly said here that you know you’ll never be able to  <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">really complete it. So what reason is there to keep it for yourself now?

Literally dozens of normal users have claimed that they would try. The only difference that's been made with this is some... interesting choice of stylizations.
