I disagree with the originial colour scheme of PPW. I believe we should start to adapt to something more modern, like Google's Material Design designs, that way we can at least try to invoke newcomers' curiosity and if we're lucky we may get new contributors! I don't think newcomers will understand the nostalgia feel like the rest of us.
I agree that we should move on to more modern designs, but as PotCO emulators are getting ready to be released we should temporarily revert to older designs.
Kind of hard to agree with you. I understand where you're coming from since this wiki was founded with pirate blood. However, we did attempt to move on from POTCO which lead us to nothing. How about a compromise where we incorporate a pirate theme?
Support - We should definitely pounce on the opportunity, maybe ya should start brainstorming on some ideas for regulating the topics since they were out of the control when POTCO was around.

I nominate the User:Wikia, with over 50,000 edits, contributed a lot of bytes and greets newcomers, he is by far the User of the Year! He helps rename users the of the wiki to continue the satisfaction of our needs.

I'm very excited for OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire. I've never played Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. Can't wait to explore the Hoenn region for the first time :P
I absolutely will find you and give you a copy of my Pokemon Emerald, you sir have not lived until you experience every region.
WOW GUYS!

Just drop the POTC and just have everything about pirates :D?
nao ish gonna b bout gamins pls
Works for me.
I just looked through some of the edits its done and considering its a bot that means that it wasnt some minor one edit thing, that being said, Im finding the edits made just added nonexistent templates and did nothing more. If anything it spammed and lagged us for no honest to goodness reason that is justifiable on the subject of the active bot..... so..... Yeah....
It makes me wonder things about this Administration when the only time this bot was ever used intensively is today when we happen to be talking about flagging another, but not only was it used, but improperly based off a large portion of what I have seen from it.
Well, not to disagree with you, however, why use your main account to undo bot edits? Wouldn't it make more sense to use your slave instead of your main account for undoing a bot's edits?
Oppose - I don't like where this wiki is heading. Allowing this will further cripple this wiki because youngsters will be discouraged to actually use chat or use the wiki. This could be offensive to anyone who is one of the appointed bad words. We can express ourselves until it turns into harassment, I like the idea of not using it to insult, but it can offend even if its not insulting. Then an argument pops up on whether it was offensive or insulting. I get how this is becoming a PG-13 wiki, but I think it would be the best option available to not allow using that language at all, especially since this wiki is going downhill fast. As always there would be this person who will abuse this. There are a lot of people who couldn't stand seeing that type of language on the internet or hearing it in real life.
Allowing that language would degrade this wiki.
Why care where we go? I am sorry if I sound all Hillary Clinton about it but what difference does it make at this point what we pass and don't pass? No matter what this wiki has a reputation of not opening arms to new users and if new users do come they are very rare, Sir Hawke, Tyler Crossbones, Taylor, and I are probably THE newest users on here. We will never grow no matter what name we fly under. We would have to start all over from scratch, new wiki and content to even think we could possibly grow. It is pointless to at this point continue passing or vetoing legislation that will reform this wiki to put us in a standing to grow because we aren't growing anytime soon if ever at all and furthermore some votes are stalled out by this site's own administrators just for giggles. We will never be in any standing to grow again. What difference does it make?

Not with that attitude. You seem very hopeless indeed and trying to break something that is already broken isn't helping anything at all. All these requests, laws, and anything else that is "wiki politics" is what keeps this wiki alive. Sure, the wiki has peaked, doesn't mean we have to make it crumble even more. The wiki has loss its spazz, its swag, and dare I say its yoloswag. There's no creativity because no one tries, they just either comment on something or they hang around in chat. There is more than 20 million registered users on this wiki, of course there's only a little bit left since the game this wiki revolves around is dead. There's more than 60 active users according to Wikia.
And Yes I know I like pulling up facts :D
Oppose - Although I originally supported this (I deleted the post where I did), I figure that we have the possibility to expand if either:
a.) POR ends up succeeding
or b.) We find another game we can expand to
Either way, having less leniency with our profane language will most likely work in our favor.
Don't forget POTHS

I liked to see him as an admin again sometime, I haven't seen him do anything wrong (then again I haven't been active in a while).
I can see what's happening here, what David is doing is perfectly fine but it is considered "mini-moding" where it is not accepted on other wikis, and it can sometimes (and mostly) annoy users.
In a way I like role-play and I fine it enjoying to see it. It ties the wiki with the game. There is some stuff that should be outlawed like: guild destruction, role-play that involves hacking, and false claims.
Neutral tho.
