User blog:Nightmare9188/Goodbye Tenkai Knights Wiki

You read right. We have now reached the point when there is no hope that Tenkai Knights Wiki will survive for a longer period. Already in August 2014 the last episode of Tenkai Knights premiered in Canada and since then there have been no world premieres. In December 2014 the last episode aired in the United States. Then there was still hope that Tenkai Knights will survive as the official Facebook site confirmed that announcements will happen in 2015. Even three months later, when Tenkai Knights ended in Japan, there was still hope that Tenkai Knights just might take a break in Japan for one year and then come back. However, now as we have the last day of 2015, nothing of that has happened. Instead three weeks ago Spin Master revealed that there will be a reboot of Bakugan with no word on what happened to Tenkai Knights, after the reboot of Bakugan has been rumored for several months before. During the last days I conversed with Shalean, a big fan of Tenkai Knights, on Twitter. She still has hope that Shogakukan might continue Tenkai Knights on their own and I won't just destroy this last hope. However it is still rather unlikely that Tenkai Knights will be continued. Always when something ends people like to look back and thus I will just do it now. It all started in July 2013, when Anime Movement  decided to not only focus on uploading videos on YouTube, but also engage in building communities, founded this wiki. At that time we already took into consideration that B-Daman and Beast Saga might be drawing to an end soon and we have to look after new projects to remain in the spotlight as we still remembered our hiatus after our first YouTube account was shut down in October 2008 which lasted until we came back in October 2011 by uploading B-Daman. It was a big challenge for us, as we mostly focused on YouTube and Wikia just has been an unimportant side project at that time. However we tried to make the best out of it and often succeeded with it despite making some mistakes such as promoting users like Ray422 and Killer365 too early just because they had experience with admin rights on other wikis. Seeing our wiki constantly growing while our former fellow bureaucrats almost never contributed to this growth, we decided to develop a new system which should make it more difficult to rise to powers and later got Ray422 and Killer365 demoted. With the continuing growth also more problems came to this wiki. One example of them was Punkorama, who blackmailed us to block Sky or else he would report us to staff for letting an underage user editing this wiki. However right on the same day we found out, that admins are not obliged to enforce the policy that no user under thirteen should edit Wikia. So Punkorama couldn't play his bad game for a long time and got reported to staff and was globally blocked. He might have come back with sockpuppets some times, but didn't cause any major trouble anymore. Also we were in a conflict with EdBoy3, who thought we would send users to his duplicate wiki about Tenkai Knights to vandalize there. Later EdBoy3 made some other questionable moves, which lowered his popularity here. EdBoy3 also planned on becoming admin here for some time, but gave it up later. At around the same time the wiki was in a phase of massive growth, Ray422 and Killer365 were already demoted and Sky (then known as Master Bravenwolf) and TenkaiKnightsUnite29 took their places. We started accounts for our wiki on several networks while Tenkai Knights was taking a break in the United States. For the time Tenkai Knights would come back to the States we wanted to have a wiki in a very good shape which was well prepared for the last episodes of the first season and for possible further seasons. Shortly before Tenkai Knights came back to the States we got the wiki spotlighted. At around the same time Sky went to a lot of completely unrelated wikis and often caused trouble there. As a result we often got involved in those wikis and members of these wikis also often joined our wiki. On one occassion we got involved in a conflict with Jezz55, a bureaucrat on the now closed Supercat333 Wiki and a then chat moderator on SpongeBob Wiki. There was a heated debate on Community Central which led to most of us being blocked there and even threatened with global blocks by Sannse, though we objectively did nothing wrong. This caused us to question the actions of some staff members in the first place. However we didn't make a big problem out of that and assumed good faith. However, later this dissatification would flare up again. Shortly after that Master Bravenwolf became a huge problem for the community and we decided to get him demoted and globally blocked and as well made sure that the rules of the contest become stricter once again. Sky came back as FlamingCrimson during his global block but one week later this account was blocked as well. At around the same time Tenkai Knights had hit the airwaves in the United States again and our wiki expanded even more and sometimes had more than 10000 views and more than 20 active editors a day. After Tenkai Knights had ended, we entered a time of further improvements for the wiki. Templates were added to almost all pages and the structure was improved greatly. Also there was a huge chat party on New Year's Eve 2014, when TenkaiKnightsUnite29 was confirmed as legitimate bureaucrat and winner of the contest and several other users got powers and awards as well. However the new year saw a steady decline. After the reboot of Battle of the Planets was announced my group attempted to adopt Gatchaman Wiki, with the intention to turn it into such a great place this wiki already was at that time. However Nbajammer and the other bureaucrats showed that they are bad people and also power abusers and that there is no hope of working together with them in a good way. So we finally decided to have a competition between the newly founded Battle of the Planets Wiki and Gatchaman Wiki. It was clear from the beginning on that Gatchaman Wiki would focus on the old Gatchaman series, their western adaptations and the Crowds series, while Battle of the Planets Wiki would focus on the reboot of Battle of the Planets by Nelvana and d-rights. However some users thought they should go to the Tokupedia Hub to offend Nbajammer and the other bureaucrats and declare a war, while it was the strategy of my group and the people connected to us to have a fully legit competition between Battle of the Planets and Gatchaman Wiki and that we would just share our bad thoughts about Nbajammer with other users on our wikis instead of going to their wikis to cause disruption there. Sannse failed to see that problem and blocked any user who posted in any thread about Nbajammer, even if they were rather innocent. And with this the trust of our people in Wikia wasted away forever and is unlikely to be restored. There were heated debates whether we should leave Wikia to go to another wikifarm or set up independent wikis. Months passed and this wiki became more and more inactive as even Japan had finished Tenkai Knights around that time. With this came also the neglect of this wiki by my group who now had to look again after new projects and also was busy with university and other things. At the same time TenkaiKnightsUnite29 went against us and caused some users to rebel which led to the rules being changed several times. Despite that he and some other users still rebelled and even resulted to personal attacks against Anime Movement. As a lot of this criticism was unjustified it was often rejected which is nothing but the logical consequence of unjustified criticism, while justified and constructive criticism is accepted. At the same time we were still busy with a lot of other things and spent less and less time on the wiki, mostly planning our activities which will start after this wiki had died. Also we had to look for a solution to react to the resentment towards Wikia which happened as a result of the questionable blocks by Sannse. Several further months passed until we finally managed to find the ultimate solution. Now on the last day of 2015 most of the problems have been solved and we can finally let this wiki die. Altogether our time on Tenkai Knights Wiki was a great time, but also a big challenge for us. We always worked hard to improve the wiki and made very great experiences with the fandom of a series like Tenkai Knights. It was truly an enrichment for us though it sometimes was very stressful. But I guess running a wiki in an effective way for a longer time is far more stressful than uploading some videos every week. However after two and a half years on this wiki we hope that you all had a great time here and we look forward to see you on future wikis. Make sure to be on chat at 3 AM (UTC) for our ultimate farewell party. To conclude, we post a video from this wiki which can be traced back to better times.
