User blog:Legionaire22/The break of the ol' Dready

Now, I have been around for quite some time. I am not one of the old ones, but I think it is fair to assume that I am a veteran. I have been through some of the best and worst times of the Wikia.

In other words, you could call me an old geezer. And like many old geezers, I cannot adapt as quickly as others.

So I am taking a break.

When I started on this wiki, it was because it was a place that was not a place of fanfiction, it was an organized place where one could add to the canon to minor degrees. I liked that, it made me feel like I belonged in the original universe.

Then came the Alternate Timelines. I saw these as a threat to the integrity of Canon, but I felt that the threat was so minor, and the rules set into effect to ensure it would help prevent a break-down into all out fanfiction where the Tau had a drink or two with the Necrons before lunch, served by the Ewoks from Star Wars.

But as of late, it seems we have slipped away from this canon-dependancy and into the realms of fanfiction. With Total declaring that one could, in fact, fully ignore fanon works, the whole feeling of a connected universe of fan-made creations inside the glorious 40k universe broke down in an instant.

Now do not get me wrong, I am not holding a grudge against Total for this decision. I understand that, as times change we must change with it. But as of now, this old geezer simply isn't up for that change.

So, until I am capable of performing such a change, I think I'll be leaving all you fine ladies and gentlemen alone.

The ol' Dready is being put out of commission.
