Robo, you make a really good point, but I'm going to ignore that fact, be a butthead, and argue back.

From what I've seen, the wiki is a community. Any time you join a community, you commit to something. Not only to the friendships you make, but to your readers and yourself. Do you have to constantly write? Heck no. Do you have to edit your stories? Nope. But as long as you're on the wiki, you're doing something. We see the symptoms of leaving when someone's edits start to cease and they're on less. Why? Because if they were still here, they would be doing something. Editing, commenting, whatever it is you think a user of WFW does. It's not an expectation, it's a given that when you're an active member of the community, you do certain things. If you're not, that's perfectly fine; like I said, the wiki shouldn't come first at all in your life. But while you're here, you do certain things that tie you to the wiki.

My point is, anything you invest into ties you to it in some way. We put time into this wiki. It's not an organization or a school or something, it's a community built on users. We hold it up for a little while, then pass the torch onto the next line of Warrior-lovers. That's how it works. And we do the best job we can while we hold the torch, to make it burn as bright as possible. Then we go on with our lives. :)
