Well, there's only two now, and if you research the origins and set up of this site, I would be surprised if it's going anywhere soon. Your personal beefs with certain members here notwithstanding (and we do have staff here if you really find it that objectionable), having seen you contribute to Wikipediocracy about your experiences with Fram, I'm confident you appreciate the need for a different forum where there is a much different attitude about the thing we are all seeking to criticize.Guido den Broeder wrote:The both of you need to stop fantasizing about people. It's not good for your mental health. I've been a member here for a while but don't post because of your presence. Not that this forum has any future. The Wikipedia community has shrunk so much that there is no space for multiple criticism sites.
This site could be huge if people were willing to cohabit with others who don't like them, for the greater good. Not that we are aiming for a large member roll, that is less important to us than it is to Wikipediocracy. But the membership and indeed effectiveness of Wikipediocracy will always be hamstrung by their need to impose a pretty clear house POV on all their members, who must accept certain basic things as inarguably the truth, or be bullied off the site, if not just banned, as I was, for upsetting the delicate sensibilities of precious flowers like Dennis Brown. Not bullied via a robust exchange of different views, but full on Fram style overt bullying. High school stuff.
I'm not staff here, but while I'm around, there will always be a difference between the two sites, there will always be a reason why a person might choose one over the other. And for me, it will typically be down to how much the person identifies as Wikipedian, as opposed to a Wikipedia critic. A good case can be made that you can only be one and not the other. I'll happily argue that case with anyone, and not once will it get to the stage I feel I need to engage in the sort of behavior regularly seen on Wikipediocracy, or their mirror site, Wikipedia.
