What i find sad is we'd be retiring a beautiful SEO rating for the site.

I've been around for 3ish years. I know of the Video Game Ideas Wiki. I know that it used to be an exceptionally weak wiki. The main page used to be appalling (I rather like it now). The articles in the recent activity were stubs and articles that had no business existing. I saw how it was hardly a comptetitor in terms of quality of articles compared to this one. Again, the thing that bothered me was the SEO.

SEO relates a website's search engine optimization, or how close to the top it will appear. If you search Video game ideas wiki, the user who wrote the blog's wiki would appear first and we would appear second. (For a little while, even that was switched, and that was me understanding SEO.)

Now, thusfar, this comment has been completely bashing the aforementioned wiki. This was partly my intention, for no uplifting reason. I'm proud my wiki is better than all the other game idea fandom sites we "compete" with. I'm pround of the higher level of professionalism and content than other wikis. I'm proud that our name hasn't stopped us from being rightfully first in a search engine.

As for actually responding to the blog post, my suggestions are as follows. Stay here and visit. Don't abandon your wiki. Visitors come of their own devices, and only stay if they feel like they're wecome and their time is worth it. Get to know us as a community. Build friendships for support. Get to know me. I've been here for the three years it's taken to bring a no name wiki of two users and 300 pages up to what it is now. I will share advice and ideas for design and general wiki improvement. I would love to help you if you want me to. To be brief, I don't care about helping your wiki, but I do care about helping you. You seem like a young admin who's interested in making a difference, but doesn't know how and doesn't have much help. I can offer that kind of help if you wish.

If you aren't interested in knowing how to fix your wiki, you can join us and I'll help move things (admins can copy page history with the articles). Leave a message on my talk if you're interested in either proposition.

PS about saying i don't care about your wiki: I own your wiki's younger brother, the VGI wiki. I've also helped improve the main page and theme for the think up games wiki. I've been around.
