User blog:Cahill Cometstar/My Musings on the Old Wiki

So yeah. Part of this is from memory (I quit the wiki some time after I joined due to its vacancy, so I don't remember that much) and part of this is from stumbling upon archaic talk pages from 2009.

So, um, here's an incomplete list of some things that happened:

1. No blogs. For some odd reason, blogs were disabled. I have no idea why, but I think it was because earlier admins disabled it because they didn't want any "confusion" over the reliability of fanmade blogs. There's still a policy being considered that states that users should express their opinions on sub-pages of their User Page. Which I don't get. C'mon, if a user makes a fanmade roster about a horror game character in which she states it is fanmade, then it's obviously fanmade.

2. The aforementioned vacancy. Due to some pre-Smashpedia migration to SmashWiki, I checked talk pages to scan for the cause of the leave. It was really idiotic; it was because Wikia had a new format. Wow. Wow. Thanks m8.

3. Signatures. SmashWikia was the only wiki to come up on my Wikia "radar" that forbade the use of templates in replacement of signatures. In fact, Animal Jam Wiki encouraged it.
