Hello! Thanks for all the feedback! I'm just writing out my thoughts (please don’t take what I’m saying as a final decision or anything) so anyone feel free to reply to me.

I've been wanting a design change for a while, but I'm not very creative so I've been putting it off.. for years lol. If anyone has any ideas make a mock up picture and post it here on or my profile. If there are multiple submissions we can have a poll.

Discoverability: I used to update the games and character sections either weekly or monthly to the most viewed games/characters at the time. I lost my photo editing program so I had to stop updating it and just never returned to it. I can try to find something free and start that up again. I might wait for the design change first though.

New games are featured on the top of the page. I think people don't "discover" them because some people don't like to take a risk and play a brand new / severely unfinished game. They'd rather go straight to the classics or to a game that's been around a while and has more content.

Creators removing downloads: We can make an "archive" section for games like this. I can delete and recreate the page, then lock the editing so no one can add any download links.

Horror: Maybe I can make a box on the top similar to this: Paradox Lost ? Would the purpose of this to be to warn players that don't like horror or for players seeking out horror?

Game Galleries: If I remember correctly the galleries page was created because the galleries were getting too big on the game pages. Personally, I think we already put too many spoilers on the game pages (effects, game references) so I like that the gallery is separated.

Main Page: 1. I didn’t realize the twitter feed was broken. I'll try to fix it. 2. I tried to look into this and it seems there isn't a way to randomize on Wikia by category. Wikia does give us a Random Page button under "explore".

Walkthroughs: I like these ideas. The list is going to be huge. I think we should indicate what version the walkthrough is for on the top of the page. And like you said, create a list for past versions. Although I think that might be hard to do right now since we have not been listing the version on the walkthroughs so I'm not sure how we'd know which past edits to link. Maybe I can create a box for the top of outdated walkthroughs to warn fans?

Playthrough time: I like this idea, but I don't know how we'd get that info. Maybe like we can set up game weeks where anyone can participate. Every week we pick a couple of games. Everyone plays and record our playtimes, then we average it out? Honestly I give up on a lot of games really early on so maybe I wouldn't been a good candidate for that lol.

Other wikis: 1. I'm not really sure where else to put it besides the links section. Maybe under the initial page description? 2. It seems useable to me. I see the spam, but all the pages related to the game seem ok to me.

Dev Pages: So like a master page for all the dev boxes? Edit: Oh the games are chronologically ordered lol
