So...in your opinion Narutopedia is not a community, it just has a community of people working together to best present the information, how we phrase it. So you want to have a community...that works together to best present the information....

Please tell me I read that wrong because seriously. Like what the actual #(&*?

You know, don't bother responding to that. I will not read it or comment on it. I just need a visual vent for my rant because this discussion over semantics has reached the point of beyond stupid.

Moving on...

At the end of the day, as have been discussed before, the point of Narutopedia, it's Talk Pages, and it's forums, is the presentation of the information on this wikia. A discussion board, where we talk and theorize and all that jazz does nothing with this websites mission, to present data. Especially since we don't allow theories and speculation in articles. If people have their panties in a bunch over not being able to discuss and theorize about the latest chapter, then tough. Discussion on what happened is done in the article in questions Talk Page, or whatever character or technique page that pertains to that chapter/episode. Again Narutopedia has never, and should never, be a place where wild theories and the like should be discussed. Arguments keep being made that the forums can be monitored and regulated, but then in the same breath when Omnibender said "draconian control", he's looked at like a maniac, when draconian control is exactly what we would need to keep an open forum from descending into madness.

But my, or Snapper2, and you or IndxcvNovelist saying anything at this point won't sway each other. The lines have already been drawn. It would be more beneficial to move on to another topic in this glorious, stupid debate.

EDIT: One last thing for this "what is community" business, because I don't want you to think I ignored it. I think a community is a collection of people who interact with each other for a common purpose. We, the editors of Narutopedia, are in fact a community. We may not be a Facebook, Narutofan, AnimeSuki community where we stop by to throw up a hello and everyone in the room claps and cheers that we have graced their thread. But we are a community none the less, one where everyone has their part.
