My feelings on this wiki are very mixed. I feel as if I didn't have any forethought before creating it; and indeed, I was pretty frivolous with my ideas back in the day.

It was suggested some time ago that it's a place with less standards than, say, the Suggestions boards of the community forums, a place for newbies to hone their skills; a training ground of sorts. I'm not sure that's what I wanted it to be, but I can live with that.

One thing we have to take into account is that this was originally almost a solo project for myself and a few friends. Once we have a lot of people, it gets extremely hard to manage for a small staff group, and in this particular case we had an extreme deficit of users who could manage moderator positions. You were nominated, but a lack of activity ended up being the problem.

Wikis as a whole allow a lot of community work, and it feels like we didn't take that to our advantage; in particular, we admins had some more heavy-handed solutions that did not fly well - especially with the community. Some mods, myself included at times, had an abrasive style of moderating that made it almost an "us-or-them" situation.

Altogether, I'm very happy with the outlet the FIW has provided for newer Terrarians who want to express their ideas, and I'm hoping that Gray, Darth and Brick will be able to work out some solutions Swagbro and I were never able to. It may not be the best Terraria suggestion area around, but it's certainly the most fun. Compare public servers on a game to competitive gameplay.
