So the wiki you admin'd me on and I built up for you, will now overthrow Nerf Wiki, and I have to accept it? I'm sorry, but I do not believe that this is a good message to spread. It kind of makes me less inclined to assist your wiki. The chances of my wiki getting ahead or overtaking Nerf Wiki is unlikely due to the current community. I'm not saying that's the goal of the wiki I started but is the community going to be able to ignore a new source of information? This is the same issue when mylastdart popped up and is still a bit ongoing... I don't plan on creating competition but rather as a new source of information for the community, nobody benefits.If a new blog or wiki pops up with new interesting information eventually it does count as a trustworthy source; how are you going to legitimately ignore it? While Its pretty difficult already for someone new to get off the ground but with enough effort and perhaps exclusive information; the community will eventually take notice of it. You have in the past expressed that you want a professional wiki, the survivability of the wiki only depends on if people are interested enough to help get it off the ground otherwise it ends up like the other abandoned dead wikis.
