Hi there, nice to meet you, it’s fine you were not intruding. I’m actually quite glad to hear from you, considering the rather lovely spectacle I had exposed to me. I’m not sure how much of the messages you have seen but I explained in my thread that I would like to affiliate the Spiritpact wiki with the Naruto one the grounds that they have similar themes, world and background. The affiliation should happen for these right reasons, that’s the good change that should be brought about. Like on the thread, I remained polite and informative in spite of the unpleasantness I have been shown from certain users, though for all my constructive efforts I’ve just been given slop back in return. With my reply, I explained it’s not really about affiliating to “help” the wiki with page views or any cold mechanical stuff like that. Let’s envision something nicer, namely to affiliate on similarities for their own sake, the best reason of all. Replying to your message, I was awaiting the response to that once I had clarified what is an agreeable vision. Besides, whether they help or not, affiliations don’t harm so is there any problem with the affiliation? In terms of world and theme, Naruto and Spiritpact have more in common than any of the other affiliates. With the other sysops in the thread, none of them appeared to even understand the points, there was only condescending arrogance in reply even as I took the initiative to answer each point and offer a better case forward. One admin also made the grand boast that this wiki is not a democracy, numbers ultimately don’t count. So the two admins whose points have been answered with better ones, and largely ignored said points to begin with, apparently don’t matter according to their own terminology. No, I am not sure entirely what is going on either. Further, turns out admins do indeed decide affiliations after all and I have been working with one to help bring this about.

Here’s something nicer, rather then point out one said “move on”, be encouraging and say “try again”, you don’t move on, give up or throw in the towel when things don’t go as planned, you work hard and remain dedicated to the task at hand no matter how bleak it may appear. The best don’t rest and progress waits for no one. Trying for something and putting in the effort no matter the time lapse counts for a lot in anything. There’s always a path forward, if not make one. If you can’t jump the hurdle, run around or push it over, cut the Gordian Knot. It’s especially worth striving for when the stakes are as good as this. The actual view is that the admin, one who did display some sentience, takes time away from the site, so is only on for apparently a few times a month. Since it was us two who arranged it and I have offered what might be a fairer view for everyone, I was patiently waiting for the reply on this matter. The horse isn’t gone, and even if it were, you can still find a way, never give up. The affiliation between Naruto and Spiritpact will happen one day, jagged rock obstacles that stand in the way of the right progress are always made nice and smooth by the tide. Though I am having “it’s not going to happen” furiously and relentlessly copied and pasted onto my wall, no matter where you are on the site, Naruto’s ever present wordmark “Believe it!” says otherwise. That these two series are kindred spirits, there cannot be any hindrances to this affiliation. We have a duty to see it through to the end. The poor Naruto site is currently haunted by a user who sabotages threads when the results are set to win, and has posted nothing but discouraging stuff with a bitterness infused state of mind going into overdrive. The same poison is intruding again and seems set on banning me. Banning me for commitment to a honourable and noble task at hand, putting in the effort and actually doing something good. For dreaming of something better, then seeing to make it a reality. But why should naysayers be a blot on our horizons. Of course, by now you have some notion that the maintainers of that site have grown world-weary, old before their time and are now set on being spiteful and rude? You’re clever, you know they are trying to ruin the Naruto site on purpose of course. No doubt at heart they're nice people, but the behaviour exhibited is a horribly diseased underbelly that probably needs addressing, I wish I had never have seen it. Just a friendly heads up for you, though I’m not touching it without medical gloves and industrial level disinfectant. I won’t ask you to continue the affiliation between Spiritpact and Naruto on my behalf with other admins still awaiting. Though it a community effort and it’s always good to get others involved and invite discussions, there is a decaying presence on that site that makes it unpleasant to be on, but that's their problem. Still, thank you for your input it was a lot nicer, what can we do but remain decent eh.
