Agreed with TurtleShroom. I wouldn't have much fun with the Timelines theory because we wouldn't have to collaborate. We could just make a new version of someone else's article instead of improving it, and we'd end up with a cluttered database with alternate timelines that were different from each other in the most insignificant ways.

Furthermore, like TS said, our readers would get confused and eventually stop visiting the wiki, which leads to less new users and traffic.

I personally believe Alternate Timelines could be the death of our wiki, as, after all, how did every single popular article here get popular? People collaborated on them. One of the most fun activities I like to do here is to discuss parodies and article ideas with other users on the Shout Box. The Alternate Timelines kills collaboration, since what's the point of collaborating on one article if everyone can have their own version? This separates the users so that only users that like and agree with particular versions of a concept work on it together.

Collaboration brings us together. We all work on one concept and combine our ideas to make it. That's the point of a wiki, to collaborate and give information (although our wiki gives fanonical information), not to simply branch off from one article when you're not satisfied with its "version".

Club Penguin is here, and it always will be. The USA, UTR, Flystarland, FRG, Margate Islands, and so many others are also here. Make the best of them.  Yours "Falsely",   Explorer 767 ( The Nerd Quibbles On...  )    View this template   23:41, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
