It's a stage of life: we're growing up. Some of us who are in college or in adulthood are still here on SNN, and I know for sure I might be (it takes a lot to drive me out lol), but it's a stage of life. New users will come and fill in our shoes, for better or worse. It's already happening: those "new users" that fill the chat with the rest of the users that are "experienced" will someday be the users we are now. And it's our job to set up a good example for them.

That is true. I'm all for setting a good example for new users, as they could be in the same position someday. I've never liked it when a new user shows up, and then they have a bad impression of us because of their bad interpretation of chat rules. I often come here just for the chat, and I've been wondering what exactly I can contribute that hasn't already been done for such an expansive Wiki like this. If I was interested in Sonic back then, I probably would've joined (I had an old Wikia account from 2011, although I was underage, I didn't know what COPPA was. I wish I was into this franchise, but I was too obsessed over Birdo) but it feels like lately, I've been devoting too much time to both of my favorite wikis, and I've tried hard to focus on high school (10th grade) and it's been hard to. If I don't do something now, I'll fail and have to retake the class. Sorry for this late reply.
