I joined twice, so I'll go with the 1st time. It was a lot less toxic back then, especially when discussing skeletals. And I'll unfollow this post now because inevitably once I bring up skeletals I'm going to upset someone.

Skeletals are just stupid ngl

^Horrible take, but I'll respect your opinion.

Anyway, I don't think much changed in Dinopedia other then a few staff changes and new users. I am a bit inactive compared to a few years ago, so I could just be biased.

Not the skeletals themselves but what they do to dinopedia

The wiki side of Dinopedia has notably improved, where much of the rules were more enforced than before, more reforms were made to fix some problems, and a lot of weird dead ends of the wiki were cut off. Sure there's still vandals, plagiarism, and the like, but not as bad as before :)

As for the discussion side, the community has grown and become much more unique since I joined! Slanders, the History Wall, and tons of fun stuff has happened. And much less drama this year than the last and all before that I've been here. No raids, no crazy drama that destroyed a user's reputation (not yet at least lol), and a lot of new series.

So to me its an improvement for sure. though it certainly could be improved even further. Strengthening the bond between Discord and Wiki, getting rid of/fixing plagiarism, and updating a lot of the dated stuff here are my priority goals for this year, and hopefully y'all can help me reach those goals!

I really want to help, but that's a project I just don't have time for

Misclick, meant to click on the degradation one

2021 and 2022 felt slightly better

I haven't been here long enough to notice huge differences...

But Dinopedia Cool.

Actually there is another problem I have, Dinopedia doesn't have good relations (or any relations for that matter) with the JP wiki anymore, those were fun times
