I looked back on a bunch of things I made a couple years ago, and all the Arras pages don't even exist anymore. Where did they go?

12408 overall posts.

+1 with this post = 12409 overall posts.

Isn't that a lot?

Since Diep.io and Arras.io got split into two seperate wikis, the "2" Template (that links to Arras.io pages) is no longer working properly and causing various redlinks to appear.

And there's quite a fraction of Fanons (especially Fanon Elite Crashers as well as the Multiversal Confounding collaboration that I'm still doing with my sister) that involve Arras rather than Diep, so I'm requesting that we cpuld get a code admin could find a way to make the "2" Template properly redirect to pages in the Arras.io Wiki.

Alternatively, Fanons that are rather related to Arras.io could also be moved to the Arras.io Wiki from here.

The last forum post 4 days ago (as of this post) is about a fellow user going off somewhere else, temporarily. And the post before it, is another fellow user focusing on other stuff. Notice something?

Looks like some people are leaving this wiki behind. That makes me a bit sad not gonna lie.

2 years ago, when I joined this wiki forum community, it feels lively and active. People are actively making posts and they get some sort of interactivity. People back then are nice and I don't have any negative experience from them. I even feel like I'd been close to them. Now, with less people active and posting, it feels like, meh. People that I used to see here (one of them being Somerandom222 because I can't think of another except for him) are no longer active and it seems like they'd move on somewhere or something else, some without any sort of warning or a post that they're going to be inactive or moving on. Not to mention that some Fandom people in general and the wikis are leaving this platform due to Fandom becoming worse and unreliable over time.

Some of them are being replaced with new people but honestly, I am not close with these people, at all. I'm not interacting with them yet.

Maybe it's just me, but I have a feeling that the wiki is slowly becoming a little toxic. I don't feel that positive atmosphere anymore. Especially with the new (and perhaps even some long time) people on the wiki. Hm. 🤔

I'm sad to say that this wiki no longer what it used to be. I don't feel the liveliness on the wiki and the forum community. I miss the old wiki, the people and the community (and the old Fandom logo for some reason) 😔

I'm really sorry to those new people reading this, I'm just being honest about how I feel and I have no intention of hurting them. I do appreciate that they're sticking around to give the wiki a bit of a life support

(btw pls no hate I can't tolerate it 😣)

This post is dedicated to my fellow people that are still around to this day and to the new people for them to be aware on my feelings on this community. Thanks for reading ^^

In short: I found another wiki that I decided to get my focus on for now before coming back to here.

You can still find me in arras.io, though.

This is getting very boring and extremely monotonous. Vote Yes on that poll.

#LockThatAllOnTheFloor

Just gonna quickly clarify that this is NOT an official announcement. I'm not qualified to do that yet.

QUICK! RUN AROUND IN CIRCLES! THE MODS ARE LEAVING! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!

Actually... we're fine. Ignore that, I got a bit excited.

Anyway, it's pretty obvious that the wiki's not in the best state. With some recent retirements and a general lack of activity, who best to talk about the state of it than a fresh Intern who only edits the wiki 286 times a week?

Jokes aside, you can discuss the current operations of the wiki here, what you'd like to see changed, or whatever else. I don't know yet, this hasn't been fleshed out yet.

Yeah yeah, most mods have left like agzr and firestorm

HOWEVER

I'm sticking around to moderate

So don't get any ideas

Purpose for this is so we don't get another Toprak or Voidknight situation

The last post I made aged like milk.

TL;DR, I'm gonna try to get back into activity and improving the wiki. Might not be as active as I used to be but it'll all be fine.

A situation has gotten ma'am Nest Keeper to become emotional once more, therefore I will have to watch her a bit more - thus lowering my activity on fandom (though I will not completely leave this time).

Further details regarding will not be mentioned since this involves family-internal stuff. I will become more active again once the situation has been solved.

Thank you for understanding.

I would've put a longer explanation here, but I don't think I need to.

Basically, I don't wanna continue my internship. I've got school and a lot of stuff that's gonna stop me from being as active as I can be. Also because I've grown disillusioned with certain parts of the arras community which I consider to be incredibly toxic, especially on the official arras discord.

Arras.io has turned from a simple Diep.io clone to its own unique game with its own concepts and unique gimmicks. It's completely separate from Diep and I don't think it should keep sharing the same wiki as Diep. This is the Diep.io Wiki after all, and relegating Arras content to a mere footnote kinda devalues it in my opinion.

But, most importantly, what do you think about another potential split?

Merry Christmas Eve, Happy Holidays, 'tis the season. About half of the staff members are showing signs of life (including myself) and we've had our first promotion since July, it's a Christmas miracle (half joking lol)! The wiki is miraculously managing to keep chugging, we've still got forum games galore and a bunch of cool art/comics. Thanks y'all! I highly recommend taking a look.

I will try to keep a decent eye on the Wiki (checking daily? weekly?) for the rest of my Christmas break. I had a crazy semester and felt (feel) very burned out. Thanks to the mods for doing an amazing job while higher ups are mainly gone. I'll wrap up by reintroducing myself again for newbies. I'm AJ, I've been here for like 8 years and I'm always watching (lol) the Discord and my emails for notifications, I just don't talk very much and usually spike in activity in during summer and winter breaks from school. Ask me anything, let me know if you ever need anything, just @ me so I get a notification. Thanks :]

Have a great New Year and rest of your winter break, everyone!

Love,

AJ

P.S./EDIT: VoidKnight returned and has been banned again.

UPDATE: I've already decided that being a Sentinel seems more realistic. Please disregard everything after this sentence.

The Diep/Arras wiki's admins aren't really that active and the two Senior Mods haven't been seen in months. Therefore, I'm considering making a proposal to adopt this wiki. Basically, Fandom allows users to request to request admin rights on a wiki without any active admins (which appears to be the case for this wiki) and if the user in question is very active themselves.

I've met pretty much all of the requirements, but there's one section that requires a public community discussion on whether you guys agree with my request.

I'm one of the most active contributors on the wiki, making edits about as frequently as I could, fixing up pages and creating new ones, filling the gaps in Arras.io's Navigation Templates, and overhauling existing pages to make them even better. I'm probably the best candidate to help manage the wiki going forward, but do you agree with me?

Got from shiny servers

you can now manually switch between bosses showing in normal modes and bosses in siege. just click on the "normal" or "siege" above the nav to switch:

changes:

• non-siege bosses that are not elite crashers are part of "trembling bosses" on the normal nav.

• arms race bosses are only shown in the normal nav, siege exclusive ones only in the siege nav.

• elite skimmer in siege nav is put in "no category" since it isn't a crasher.

• eternals category changed to final bosses, with legionary crasher being part of them.

I'm probably gonna try heavily editing the Arms Race page plus making links to the t5 tanks; I already put the T5 Spikes there on the main page, I'll do the individual ones once I learn about the structure of an arras page more.

So yea. And also Cauldron is bugged, it doesn't have inertia like Drifter.

How do people test the HP of a polygon?
