Welcome back Vork!

I guess the site is dead...

Also, I wanted to bring up Badges and their future. If I have brought this up before (I forget if I have or not, it is not very user friendly to look through the various chat pages we have used) I won't harass you about it again, but it has recently been brought up by Stoudemire18 as a way of promoting useless edits. I agree, believing it almost makes it too easy for edits to become a game where people try to get the highest score instead of being contructive. People should be editing regardless of awards and do we want to promote people that just want to edit to win points? Sometimes I look at edits for certain sections, such as strategy, and wonder if people add something there just to add another day to their daily count. The edits might still be fine, but it feels almost unecessary like they were just trying to do something to get another day. Without such a feature as badges, we might be able to tell if people truly are editing for points or are honestly trying to improve the pages. A wikia is not a place to be competitive, yet I worry some people might make it out to be.

How about another talk page soon? This is the longest we probably have had and it isn't very scroll friendly as it is. This one has lasted almost a full year.
