Hi guys! So as you noticed I just changed the theme to something that looks much cooler than the previous theme, at least to me. Hopefully you guys like these changes, which include a new logo, background picture, the page area is now black and the buttons have changed to purple. This is the first step in preparing this wiki for the Spotlight, and I'm doing this because this wiki is starting to lack in active users and things are messy around this wiki. The spotlight will help this wiki grow and get more users by featuring this wiki at the bottom where it says "Around Wikia's Network". The issues this wiki has include barely any pages are categorized, there's too much stubs or incomplete seasons, and the Community Corner on the Recent Wiki Activity page is not customized. We also have a messy main page and I'll revamp it to a more cleaner and user-friendly style tomorrow. The imcomplete seasons are currently being solved by Ryne but we also need to help because there's just so much incomplete seasons here. To see what we have to do, check out the above link on the spotlight, and we need to try meeting all that criteria by 2/1/2015, which means Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty by that time (it's currently 1,000 pages, holey moley :O), the <300 byte stubs at Special:Shortpages should be mostly cleared or deleted if necessary, and we should also delete all the stuff that are completely unneeded like leftover vandalism pages or leftover redirects. This is the beginning of a new and much better era for this wiki and we all need to help for this wiki to qualify by the deadline, when I'll submit this wiki for the spotlight. This wiki could really use more users and more activity, and in fact this wiki will be even better if we add much more fun new games in the Fun & Games Board. But first we kinda need to focus on improving this wiki to prepare for the spotlight, but we should also do stuff in the Fun & Games board so it won't be all hard work on this wiki. In the Fun & Games board I'll probably add more fun personality tests (more simple and easier ones than the one I already showed you) and I might even introduce Hangman to the board. All of us should help make that board a much more fun place for all of us to have a great time at this wiki and make memories with these games. I've also thought about reviving the "Corrupt A Wish" game and doing something like a "Compliment the person above you", among many others similar to those. So I'm sorry to introduce this big wall of text but I just had many ideas come to mind. Let's all improve this wiki, starting NOW! And hopefully you guys like the new wiki design and layout! :) And lastly with Not David Brown beginning Hurricane Idol season 5's auditions tomorrow, this wiki will get much more interesting as time progresses.
