'''Oct 16, 2018 update: Stopped editing the wiki, for the same reason good editors usually leave wikis;''' frustration from admins not blocking people who make counterproductive edits, when those people will not stop, despite repeated warnings and banning.

Here's what I did on this Wiki. (And the only thing I ever blanked was viagra spam.):

I combined two pages with a lot of redundant info (Artists, and Bands, combined to new page, "LISTEN.")

First I discussed it with Kite, Mike, Tyler. they OKed it.

Plus found all the long-dead links on those pages and deleted dead links, put on the talk page what I deleted, then found working Listen links for artists when I could.

That took about 2 weeks of about 3 hours a day.

I spent an afternoon putting this up, and formatting it all, and adding the links. Kite suggested I do that. And I wrote a few short tutorials on doing specific things in Scala. And updated the VST page, looked for dead links, and found live links. And wrote the suggested Conduct page they're freaking out about. Wrote that after discussions with you, Kite, and Tae. Talked a lot about it with Mike B. and Tyler. Mike B was cool with it, Tyler, gave me a lot of pushback, but I did it anyway, so people could see what I was talking about rather than sending bits here and there as PMs. I never blanked anything, except viagra spam. Added my music and my VSTs to the Listen and VST page. that's pretty much it, that I recall. certainly nothing destructive. Other than that, just helped the community when possible. Put together a compilation album, made some free xen VSTs, and answered a lot of questions from Noobs on the Xen Alliance, and Microtaliaty Facebook pages.
