Spleenr, you aren't the only one with a busy schedule, and kids (I'm a system admin, a mother of 2 kids, and often terrible work hours, e.g. 7am - 1:30am yesterday, and still working now at 11pm). I've thought about what I can do to alleviate the challenges, but the chats are often harder to keep track of than edits, and the forum has a far deeper group of mods that I trust, having joined when my youngest was a baby and I was on mat leave. The admin there is also a bureaucrat here who has stopped playing the game, and would step in and help if totally necessary.

If a group from here came over and really started chatting, rather than posting on walls and blogs and talk pages, the forum would more than compensate for the lack of comments on the articles.

I've pondered enabling the forum on the wiki, but, again, that just brings back the level of work. Just a note, the DragonVale wiki has the forum not the comments, and I believe it is for the same reasons. I have posted that I have not disabled the blogs and talk pages, but if they start getting abused, that is still an option.

I would prefer that users go over to mojo-farm, explore beyond the MSM section, and strive past the initial 5 painful posts. Some employees from BBB come the the forum, and if there was more activity from people here, they would frequent it more. The forum could complement the wiki so much more, and the chatting of the comments could be so much more productive too.
