But the more important question is not whether or not I was rude. It's whether or not I was right.

An extreme change was made with little caution or thought to the consequences. One that a very strong negative impact to the community of the site, a negative impact that I, and a number of others predicted would happen and warned you of. We were ignored and our warnings completely disregarded.

Given the time and effort I've put into my contributions on this site, I think my annoyance and outrage is warranted. The whole thing had been planned ever since the first crackdown on lewd content on the wiki. Since as you know, we got quite popular back in 2k16, a lot of our content got nuked(Most of those being the older roleplay threads) when the guys at central saw it.

That, and the desire to have full control over what goes onto the wiki, without any kind of censorship, was quite justified, in my opinion.

And in regards to the whole 'negative impact to the community of the site' issue, that was to be expected. After the surge of popularity happened, there was also a sharp decline. Perhaps it was because of the mass exodus of users, or the banning of Anon accounts on the wiki as a whole, the situation had been building up for a long time. While I must admit that the decision was made without much of a warning to the community, a quick and throughout process was the best way to do it.

Thing is, this wasn't only felt on the wiki, but in the entire MG fandom as a whole, after the closing of the older archives that kept everyone updated. From there, the different communities just went into smaller and smaller bubbles.

​​​​​​That is understandable. Taking that into consideration, any revamps of the wiki will be voted for by the community.
