User blog comment:Jam7/Upcoming Changes on the Total Drama Wiki - January 2011/@comment-1734566-20110104035247

Wow. This seems like a ton of New Year's resolutions. It all seems so good right now; I hope that we can make it all work. I love to voice my opinion, so I'll weigh in on this, talking about each and every bullet at a time:

First Bullet: WHAT THE HECK? Webkinz was never an admin up until this point? I thought that he was always an admin. O.o Oh, well. Congrats to him, Bigez, and CD-TDA!

Second Bullet: No more President? Eh, I guess it's fitting. In a way, you're right; it's just a ceremonious title, and in some ways, is just a big popularity contest. This is probably better.

Third Bullet: That sounds fairly reasonable. While some galleries are too small, others are way too huge. And I'll give a suggestion with the thinning out of character gallery images: All images that are removed from the gallery can simply go to the gallery in the Fan Club of that character. It's absolutely perfect, as Fan Club galleries have no limit whatsoever. :)

Fourth Bullet: This is probably what it was like when the decision was made to change the names from "Flicting/Shipping" to "Conflicts/Relationships." But, while it is fairly vague, it ultimately works for scenarios like you mentioned (such as D/C, Alejandro/Heather, and so on). And I agree, since most "Everyone" pages (Everyone-DJ, Everyone-Chris, Everyone-Lindsay, and so on) are relatively unimportant. In my opinion, the only three pages in that category that are worthy of keeping are: Everyone-Owen Friendship, Everyone-Heather Conflict, and Everyone-Courtney Conflict.

Fifth Bullet: I first found out about this blog because I suddenly noticed the absence of the massive speech on the Home Page about the bi-weekly Roundtable Schedule. -.- While I personally enjoyed Roundtable, I really did see this one coming from a mile away; it's why we dropped it the first time. Attendance drops, then there's no point in having it. Totally agree with this one for sure.

Sixth Bullet: YES! Finally! This was always probably the most-discussed topic at most Roundtables (at least most of the ones that I attended). We have been wanting a new background for a long time. Don't get me wrong, though; the current TDWT-themed background is nice, but we would love to see two characters back on the Home Page again, just as it was with Duncan and Lindsay. Plus, with TDR around the corner, we'll probably need a new, TDR/TDI-themed background once again. Can't wait to see further progress on this one.

Seventh Bullet: I agree that the Forums is really disorganized right now. But, if I were you, I'd say that there's a third Forum section that's worthy of keeping around: The Interviews Forum, for obvious reasons. Now, as for the whole Club Crazy section, I totally agree with the "canon" part; after all, there's over a hundred possibilities for fanon relationships, friendships, and so on. It should be kept to just the 26 characters (plus, possibly, Blaineley), and major canon "interactions" (man, getting used to that is going to be hard. XD).

And Eighth Bullet: This is something that's already been going on for a while now; I just hope that it can be better monitored, as you said. Especially with the TDR Talk Page. That's going to pretty much be the central hub of activity here on the Wiki as TDR draws nearer.

This seems like a great set of new ideas and suggestions overall. Again, I hope that these all work out well. :)
