Blog:I'm done. For good this time.

Well, we all knew this was coming, but as the title suggests, I'm officially leaving the Reception Wikis for a second time.

I've been lurking these wikis ever since 2015, 2 years after the whole Reception Wiki network started with Crappy Games Wiki back on FANDOM, and I always thought they were fun to browse through because of the unique sections (i.e. "Why It Sucks" sections), and how cool the users back there seemed and I think I would've been pretty good friends with them, but all of that fun just faded away by the time Allistayrian took over in late 2020 thanks to his high standards of writing pages and overuse of professionalism which is still going to this day despite him leaving twice. Not to mention all sorts of other drama going on in the Wikis as well as other users bickering and arguing over stupid crap. Yes, I was one of those people, but I've really regretted engaging in some of them since then. These problems have really damaged my love for these wikis and no matter how many times people try to fix them, they just get worse, and worse, and there's no point in saving them, pretty much, which really hurts, because they were some of my favorite wikis to visit until now, and seeing them fall this hard just saddens me.

Speaking of users, there were some that really got under my skin like Harry2003, Hamzat213, Larryding, MarioBobFan, etc., and having those types of users can seriously kill the mood of being on the wikis. I know those users are all banned now (though I dunno about MarioBobFan's case), but the fact of the matter still stands.

There are other issues I've been having with these wikis nowadays besides the drama, professionalism, and toxicity, like how inconsistent the rules of guidelines are due to the removal of important ones like forbidden pointers (now added back) and custom coloring on titles, which can confuse some users and that might encourage them to do the opposite of what these wikis don't want them to do, as well as excessive use of custom headings on pages, which can be REALLY annoying and they're not even funny in the slightest. I tried my best to be tolerant of them, despite me disliking them, due to outside sources criticizing us for not allowing them, but these freakin' headers have gotten worse, and more and more, I wish they were just banned permanently.

The other problem with these wikis nowadays is how strict they've gotten with what pages can or can't be allowed, like celebrity pages, despite a good majority of them being fine, and almost none of them (besides ones of negative user wikis like Atrocious YouTubers Wiki) have caused any drama whatsoever. You'd think Qualitipedia would've been more lenient with them due to how free speech friendly Miraheze is compared to FANDOM (which explains the deletion of the FGTeev Duddy page on the latter site), but no, QP has become a lot more censor-happy than it should've been.

Yes, I know I just became a mod after losing my admin rights, but lately, I feel like there's nothing else to do here and everything that interests me seems to have been resolved. There were a few things I wanted to do, but they were pretty minor, and I think I can cut my losses with them. Plus, I even heard that these wikis might close as soon as that RfC to get rid of them reaches 60% or 70% supports, and I don't want these wikis to take me with them when they shut down, so all the more reason to quit now.

Like I said, this is my second departure from the wikis, and this time, I have no intention on returning whatsoever unlike the last time I retired. I may return to Miraheze, hut I definitely won't back to contribute to any of the Reception Wikis, not even the spinoff ones. Also, I most certainly will continue browsing through Qualitipedia to see how things go from here after I leave the second time. At least this time, however, I get to retire on a higher note than last time, because if any of you remember, I was banned from the now-closed SephSpace due to false alligations, and I would've transitioned over to that wiki at the time, but because of what happened, I rage quit the whole Miraheze for a while, because I felt there was nowhere else to go until I returned 2 weeks later. This time, however, I feel way better leaving due to having resolved all the issues I'm interested in, and I feel pretty confident in having Qualitipedia exit my life.

Another important thing to bring up is that in my personal life, I've been working with a company that helps people get their jobs, and I might actually get a job sooner or later, and because of that, I might be too busy to visit Qualitipedia anymore. Even on days when I'm not working, I still might not feel the motivation to continue contributing here because of how burnt out I'll probably feel after working. :P I won't tell you who this company is or what job I might get, but I can say that it's pretty important, and I might move away from this whole Qualitipedia network due to it.

I owe an apology to a great many users on this site:, I'm sorry for the whole Netflix debacle on RWW a few months back. The reason why I may have dissuaded you into adding that company to that wiki was because of how overwhelmed I was with the huge quantity of original shows and movies of any kind (i.e. anime, video game adaptations, or whatever), and led me to the delusion that Netflix was the most reliable platform to have originals, despite their questionable choices as of late, and I finally snapped out of it afterwards. Heck, I barely even use Netflix anymore, and I don't know how to make it up to you, but please forgive me still. To, I'm sorry for the edit war on the Super Mario Odyssey page on AGW regarding the game's ending. I've now come to my senses of how objective other people's views and statements are on said ending and I've agreed to keep off the Bad Qualities section, but my personal opinion on it still stands. I'm sorry,, for all the bad faith I assumed in you ever since our first encounter. I thought you were a overly negative person and thought that you thought I was evil, but then I realized that you're a good and reliable user who has no intention on harmimg the wikis. I'm especially sorry to the rest of the users on all of the Reception Wikis for how I was using my administrative rights. I thought I was doing the right thing and was only trying to help, but then I'd come to the realization that I'd been doing way more harm and good, and for that, I hope that you can all forgive me. I take full responsibility for my actions.

In these dark times however, I was able to make good friends here like Blazikeye, TigerBlazer, Pickutos, Yuki, Kringe, King Dice, Mr. Dready, the list goes on and on and on, and I wanna thank them all for helping me get through such hard times on these wikis, and helping me find a silver lining in things.

I know a lot of you are requesting me to get a Discord, but after doing a crap ton of thinking about it, I've actually kinda decided not to get an account for that site for the time being, because I'm trying my best to put the Reception Wikis behind me, and I wanna start a new life that has nothing to do with QP, be it in real life or on the internet, and no, I won't be overly obsessive about it like Bluba is.

Before I go, I do have at least one request: I want my RfC to reallow people on at least the positive Reception Wikis to stay open until it fails or succeeds (it'll probably do the latter), and if anybody can do that, then that'd be great.

To celebrate my second departure, I thought I'd leave a little music video to uplift the mood: https://youtu.be/7oday_Fc-Gc

Thank you all, my dear friends, and goodbye.
