Hey Wetpaint...How about giving us the TRUTH
After reading this article titled : "As It Moves Away From The Wikis, Wetpaint Launches TV News And Entertainment Site" I scratched my head and started thinking.
1. Are the terrible events the community has suffered since November 2010, a sampling of what is to come in the future?
2. Is Wetpaint "Robbing Peter to Pay Paul"? Separating the Wetpaint main site from Wetpaint community wikis. Stealing hardware from the community side and placing them on the Entertainment side. If the load balancing servers were removed to supply the entertainment sites, it would surely explain the snail's pace of our wikis.
3. Will the email system disappear? It has always had problems.
4. There have been no new features in over a year. But there have certainly been many bugs, glitches and disappearance of features.
5. Simple lists like the Top 100 have been ignored. I cannot wait to see what happens to the Stats Awards.
6. There hasn't been a single reply from WP personnel , with regards to the problems occurring on WP, with the exception of the outage today Jan 5, 2011. And if there were it is the standard "We are working on it." The community moderators are/and have been covering your butts for years.
How about giving the community the truth Wetpaint, instead of deflecting, sidestepping or just plain ignoring us. Remember we are the one's that got you started and kept you alive over the past 3 years. Are we now to be your orphans?

New Width for New Wikis
Hi.
With the coming addition of the formatting change, new Wetpaint Wikis should have the new layout. I think that the only thing that is preventing a forced formatting change is the fact that Wetpaint Users are still editing their wikis. Due to the fact that new wikis have no content, it makes scene to have all new wikis have the new layout.

Wiki Spotlight
I was thinking, There are thousands (Even more) of wikis that have low members and yet, there are wikis that have a lot of members that have there own adverts! They have a lot of members already and what you are saying with those wiki adverts is "Join now! We have 2,000 members we need more!" How much greedier can you get?
So what I am saying is maybe once a week or month, You randomy select a wiki (One that not has a thousand members) for an advert on the great wetpaint wikis and some of the other wetpaint wikis can get more members so more people are happy!
Reply to this thread if you like the sound of a Wiki Spotlight!

Corporate-related Suggest-A-Site
I completely understand why Wetpaint includes the standard wikis at the bottom of everyone's pages, however, another thread states that these wikis change every few weeks. I've had my wiki up since April 25, 2008, and they have not changed yet....hmmmm. But on to my suggestion....our business is using Wetpaint for corporate purposes and retail, entertainment, etc. wikis are not appropriate for our wiki. Would Wetpaint consider to allow wikis an option to display either other corporate wikis or entertainment wikis? In other words, make an option or have creator choose if wiki will be corporate or other, then default appropriate other wikis based on the selection? I only ask this as the executives of our company may ban our wiki due to the entertainment wiki links, however, if the links were to other corporate wikis, it may sit better with them. Thanks for the opportunity to share. :)
