I really only came here for talking about CUUSOO. The badges didn't interest me nor did the user rights (for the most part). I only made a few pages for projects. *sigh* I guess all I came here for was socializing with other Lego fans. I socialized a bit, then had many days where I would be alone on chat for hours. A busy chat day for us would have about six to ten users, but a busy chat day for LMBW would have about twenty-five to thirty users. I knew of some people from here who went over there, and then I began to enjoy talking with some of them. I guess you could say I migrated.

If you guys really want to get more articles up, I do have a game plan. Pick a couple of users who want to contribute, assign a certain number of projects to them, and then get going. You can start by doing projects that have 5,000 supporters or more, then 1,000 supporters or more, then 500 supporters or more, and so on. That or have someone make a program that can copy a project's info and make a page (if such a program can be created).

I'm not really into CUUSOO anymore these days. I check my activity feed frequently on CUUSOO, but I don't comment or support as frequently as I used to. Part of it is the strictness of the place, another part is how most projects probably won't get made.

As for Brickimedia, I still think it would help this place. It would allow the users here to engage a larger group of wikis and chat would be more active. Plus it would get more people finding our wiki.

And finally, here is a list of what happened to this place:

1. Brickimedia came and we were all eager to go over there. When it went down, we all quietly decided to wait for it to come back up again. Some who would have been more active are still waiting for the move.

2. Most of the users here came for socializing. Z, Alden, LizardMan, MW7, Perijove, MasterChiefLikesLego, GryphonTDog, EJ, and myself, to name a few, didn't really make any pages. We just commented on blogs and talked about things.

3. The people who frequently socialized moved to the LMBW chat because as one frequent socializer would start to leave after having long hours of no chat activity, a new one would take his place until he began to have the same problem. Users who this has happened too: Crevs, FDL, Cap, BK, Z, LSB, and myself.

4. Chat was never really founded on socializing in the first place. Those who wanted to talk to each other more frequently either got on to a more social chat or kept in contact through something like email. Basically, chat is humming when something interesting is going on in CUUSOO. When nothing is humming, users don't really talk about much else and the conversation gets boring.

5. The ammount of projects/users on CUUSOO might have overwhelmed some people when they thought about making pages. I am one of the people who had this happen.

6. In all honesty, there were only ever 3 main contributors. Codyn (who contributed code), LSDK, and BK.

7. CUUSOO isn't as well known as the LMBs or as of Lego itself.

8. The majority of info on this wiki is copy pasted. Not much originality, you can pretty much find the same content here as you can on CUUSOO. The only interesting articles are about projects that have been rejected, banned, produced, or reached the review stage.

9. Most of the famous pages that most frequent CUUSOOians can identify are already on here. Wikis tend to thrive off of popular info, and pretty much all the popular projects/users have a page here.

10. Not enough interested contributors. In order to get more pages, people have to been interested enough in the pages they are making.

11. The user rights scared a few users away or left some hurt feelings.

12. Some users didn't know how to make a page. This kept them from editing.

That's basically all I can think of right now. If you have any more reasons that might be good to add, let me know.
