I agree with Fork and Robo - I've left twice, seriously, and those times when I was away from the wiki were really great.

I'm not trying to diss the wiki, seriously, it's a great place. I've made so many friends here, and there are so many people that have been like sisters (in most cases) to me. But we do have lives, and the wiki can't always go smoothly with people staying here forever and ever. The only time I recall it was ever similar to that was when I first joined the wiki - but then Forest left, and we all sort of dissolved, and I was gone for those two months, editing only my stories and doing other n00by things.

I know the point of this blog is to be optimistic, but the wiki is not going to close down.

Wiki's don't 'close down,' they just become inactive. My own wiki's dwindling because no one edits there anymore (cough, Stareh, Zaffie, Arti, Birchy), but it's not going to disappear. The stories will remain, and the new users will carry on our legacy. These won't be thrown away into the trash, as the wiki will continue to be here - not thriving, not dead, but stagnant.
