NIWA Discussion / Re: WiKirby Owner and Founder, Axiomist, has passed away

He was one of my first buddies on ZW, and we didn't always get along, but he was a great wiki editor and an overall nice, humorous guy. NIWA won't be the same without him.

I know I'm late for the party, but congrats, Xizor!

I think that Xizor is better suited for this position. He's a fairly neutral person which I think is a quality that would be needed in order to resolve differences. I've worked with both Xizor and Ax and I've found that Ax can act really harshly with people he dislikes, and he would often oppose and purposefully disagree with the people he disliked simply for the fact that he did not like them. I'm not trying to bash Ax or be rude, but I hardly can find someone with his attitude and personality being a productive choice as a leader.

Piplup wasn't bad. Honestly, he's not exactly cool looking once he evolves, but he's pretty powerful. Actually, I kind of thought that Totoodle was pretty bad.

Johto was my favorite. It was bigger, and more interesting. It seemed more vast.

In Generation IV I'd have to say Bidoof was completely ugly, and his evolved form was even uglier. Magmar is just freakishly ugly. And the Soulsilver water-type starter, Totoodle was really bad looking.

Actually, the new updates to Firefox 3.6.9 or whatever it is now, are not bad. It's decently fast. I've been using it more since it doesn't seem to hog my CPU all the time now. Chrome is still nice, though.

To sum it all up, NIWA can't help anything grow if people think it's our fertilizer and reject it on the first visit, so yeah, we ought to reject every startup application on the first submission and list things they need to do beforehand-minor things mainly. And the most important part, talk to them, and/or help them.

This would be a very bad idea. NIWA should already have more wikis than what we currently have. But, yet, it's that type of attitude (i.e. waiting for the "perfect" wiki to come along) that lead us to our current state. I think rejecting  a new submission to list things that they need to improve on and wait on them to reapply basically defeats the purpose of NIWA.

Aye. I have no problems. I think Xizor has definitely proven himself through ZW and LoZ.com. Pretty much to echo what everyone else said above. I think he's, overall, a good choice.

I used to use Internet Explorer when I was a total computer noob. Then someone introduced me to the magic of Firefox and I used that until version 3.6 came out and started using all of my computer's memory and CPU. Now, I use Chrome because it's a nice, light-weight browser that's fast and has some add-ons so you can customize it. I use Firefox very rarely on occasions when I'm testing something though.

This is my current wallpaper. I have several that I alternate with, but this one is my favorite so I use it most of the time.
