--Plus found all the long-dead links on those pages and deleted dead links, put on the talk page what I deleted (for historical completeness). Then I found working Listen links for artists when possible.

Those two tasks 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.

I spent an afternoon putting this up: "[[Making Microtonal Music is Easier Than You’d Think|'''Making Microtonal Music is Easier Than You’d Think''']]." Was tricky formatting it all, and adding the links. Kite suggested I do that. It's a 9000-word intro to xen for noobs, lots of hands-on info, not a lot of maths, great to actually get people ''making'' microtonal music.

--And I wrote a few short tutorials on doing specific things in Scala.

--I updated the VST page, looked for dead links, and found live links.

-I wrote the suggested Conduct page ~~they're~~ freaking out about. ~~Wrote~~ that after discussions with Stephen Weigel, Kite, and Tae. Talked a lot about it with Mike B. and Tyler. Tyler, gave me ~~a lot~~ of push back, but I did it anyway, so people could see what I was talking about rather than sending bits here and there as PMs.

It the loud minority here wants to no use that page, that's fine. I think it's a mistake to not use it though.

-I never blanked anything, except Viagra spam.

-Added my music and my VSTs to the Listen and VST ~~page~~.

-Added my music and my VSTs, to the Listen and VST pages.

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 patiently answered a lot of questions from ~~noobs~~ on the ~~Xen~~ Alliance, and Microtonality Facebook ~~pages~~.

tl:dr version of Jason Scott's article: '''The productive contributors leave because they go from "being a content creator to being a content ''defender''."'''.. When a very few people shit all over everything, and admins don't stop them, because admins don't want to be "mean." And usually a few editors jump in and tell the people trying to make things work that they're being "mean."
