Simpsons Fanon and German Wikisimpsons, two of our Simpsons Wiki Network members, are lacking content, visitors and are pretty much empty of spam magnets. Therefore, we feel that the best bet is to close down the wikis.
I'm not going to ask Jake to close them down immediately though. I'm giving it a week. If anyone wants to save the wikis, to bring them back to life again, this is your last chance to do so. Tuesday next week, I will ask Jake to delete the wikis and they will be no more.
So, if you want to save the wikis, if you have a passion for writing fanon, if you can speak and write German fluently and want to help contribute, this is your last chance. The Solar Dragon 11:01, March 4, 2014 (EST)
Discussion[edit]
- I agree with Solar that we should shut these down. Despite the fact I wrote a lot on Fanon, they were crappy ideas for 'fake episodes' anyway and German, I worked a bit on, Google Translate basically being a key factor. So, really, with descending views and spam, I feel it's apt that we shut the two sub-wikis down. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 15:19, March 4, 2014 (EST)
