Well I meant it more as a discussion so people would understand both views. Many of your claims are invalid and are misleading the community. This is not what we want. We had a similar problem with another user a few months ago and he was perma banned. As the Wikia community recommends, also present the truth about both sides.

I mean, this is nothing personal, but I can easily prove each one of your points to be invalid. Hunson was renamed because he had a new character sheet with the name on it. Root Beer Guy and the other candy people did not. However, I am not going to go into detail.

Also, please understand we've already went through all this 5 years ago and we decided that this was the best decision. We look ahead on our decisions and make sure everything is for the best of the wiki. I don't understand why we have to turn this into an issue. It is something that has already been well-thought of and decided to be the best solution.

Most of the admins have showed their support to keep things as they are because they have been on the wiki for a while and have made enough main space edits to know that this is truly what's best. We don't want to spend our time arguing or going into detail because we are aware that nothings going to change your minds no matter what we say. We just hope you can trust us with our decision.

I've created this wiki over 5 years ago and I've seen it grow. I've seen the wiki change and have gone through its highs and lows. So have many of our admins. We know the wiki. Unlike many of the people who voted, we contributed to the wiki's main space more than anyone. Many of us, like me, have also helped and administered many other wikis in the past. We know the structure inside and out. We've seen all kinds of drama, issues, and debates and we've decided that it would be best if our users could contribute more to the main space before attempting to constitute big changes.

As a result, we are talking about establishing an award system to motivate users to contribute. As users join us on the main space, we hope they can also begin to understand our decisions and why we do certain things. We find that it is often hard for users to trust us on a matter when they, themselves, have not contributed it the cause.

Therefore, we really hope the forum can be a means of discussion first, to prevent any rash decisions to be made too spontaneously. Most of the supporters seem to misunderstand us. They think it's about old/new names which has nothing to do with this. We are not "for" old names. We are against unverified "official" names. You've seen my reasoning and you refused to accept its logic. I suggest you also speak with other admins as they might be able to give you a better explanation of what we mean.
