OK, a new user who comes in and immediately starts complaining and going on about how bad things are. OK. Let's start point by point.

1. The main page has always been pretty minimalistic, but slapping an ugly template on top with no cohesion with the rest of the page is not the way to make it more accessible. The main page is not necessarily the place for those kinds of links (sometimes, less is more), but adding a few more general links (such as to our class master list, for one) definitely wouldn't hurt. But trying to do this with obtuse ugly templates isn't the way to go.

In fact, I don't know what the heck you going on about more templates even has to do with anything, tbh.

2.That isn't something the Wiki can actively help, sadly (if it was, I've have done so years ago!). The thing about the userbase is that it is based around users. If there aren't users, you can't have a userbase. Being the only active admin for years running (the founder split long before I showed up; the current bureaucrat has been equally unreliable), I apologize if there have been comments/complaints I've missed, but I can't magic up other users, you know? If you wish to help energize the community, ask me questions, start some discussions, get to some editing. Help is always appreciated, and it's better to edit yourself than it is to go "why isn't anyone editing"?

3. Again, this goes back to the lack of an active, stable userbase. Every user has their expertise and games they have access to (for example, I currently only have direct access to info from 3 and the PC port of 1, so asking me to flesh out articles for, say, DD2 is probably not going to happen soon), and if there aren't users to fill in the information, then it won't get done.

You obviously haven't actually seen wikis that have been made weeks ago, have you? In fact, despite the small userbase, I think we have managed to do pretty well for ourselves. I understand you mean well, but slinging out insults to all our hard work and the general passive aggressive tone I'm reading isn't the way to make like you come in peace.

(Also, more of a personal note, but you actually planning to stick around? The last person I worked with to fix things up ditched us mid-project.)

EDIT: Also, I admit as to not being familiar with any of the wikis you listed, but I presume they are far more active than we are and have more moderators than a lone admin trying to keep things together despite having no real knowledge of coding or the like. I feel the comparison is a little unfair. :P
