User blog:FireMatch/The good and the bad of the 2010s

So far, I've only been on this wiki for less than 3 years. Before the 2010s end tonight, I'm gonna recap the good and bad things that have happened on this wiki thus far since I joined.

The Good
I've met some pretty good users here, notably Crazy, Purple, NotJoe, NoName, Primitive, and a few others I probably forgot. I won't get in depth as to why they're my favorite users here, but I just wanted to put it out there.

While it was in its prime, I really liked working for Box Productions, despite its major controversy. I liked working on the BP Style, writing for HFB and SBFW Quest (still do now but still), make streaming service updates, and even make goddamn FOOD. However, besides the shows it's producing, BP is mostly dead. Most production companies in the last parts of 2019 seemed to have really let themselves go.

The fanon series. This is probably one of my favorite parts of SBFW. Writing episodes, making title cards, making banners, reading other peoples' episodes, making mini-series, seeing how fast or slow the seasons go by, it's just interesting to see how the series goes on after 130+ seasons. If it weren't for the fanon series I'd be much less active on the wiki than I am now. (and ZPW to an extent)

The Bad
However, I've met some troublemakers, too. Blomer, Spongefan, Travis, Red/Blue, and probably more that I forgot to list off the top of my head. Most of these users are blocked, and they didn't exactly give me the best experience on this wiki.

The drama of early 2019. I won't even get into that...

The drama related to Travis' power abuse. I've personally seen two of them happen, one in July 2018 and one in October 2019. Luckily he was demoted both times.

And the big daddy... the shutdown of this wiki. Again, ask you fellow SBFW friends what happened if you don't remember or experienced the big moment. Many people went against each other during and after the shutdown. Luckily this wiki was brought back on April 30. The new wiki is pretty much an apocalyptic wasteland now.

Conclusion
Would I say I've had a good experience so far with SBFW? Ehh, that's very debatable. I've had extremely mixed feelings about the wiki as a whole, and I've hated its way of handling its admins, proposals, etc. Hopefully the 2020s improve for me and you. Bye everyone, and a happy new year.

And let's hope Crazy comes back on the wiki soon.
