TheFifteenthMember Yes. You're creepy. I can't say we'll miss you while you're gone, so it'd be best if you did go. We all win that way. — TheFifteenthMember 23:36, 13 September 2014 (UTC) For the interest of everyone else, here's the current status of the disbandment of SEIWA. I'll be updating this whenever something happens: Cronopedia: Agreed with disbandment. Square Enix Wiki: Awaiting a response, although it's likely I won't get one. Dragon Quest Wiki: Agreed with disbandment. (they emailed me instead for some reason) Strategy Wiki: Against disbandment...

TheFifteenthMember I like white. I find it goes well with yellow, but only if you want it to. — TheFifteenthMember 10:38, 14 September 2014 (UTC) As the person from the Draqon Quest Wiki pointed out, SEIWA was managed by bud001. We should contact him too; anyone know how to reach him?

KeybladeSpyMaster - I do it for my family, my home, my friends! I do it for her! TALK - Welcome to Spy Force One. - 10:20 PM Sat, September 20, 2014 MDT After much thinking the last couple days, I'm beginning to wonder if disbanding SEIWA is such a good idea after all. Maybe, all we need to do is revive it and organize it in such a way that it brings together and promotes the affiliated sites, without needing to do much "daily" work, the kind of work that is done on the wikis everyday. Like establish a permanent kinda thing that we can still check-up on and update regularly, but doesn't require the kind of maintenance and work this or the other SEIWA wikis require. Perhaps (and I had contemplated this before the Roundtable), we should open it up to all wikis, regardless of independence (recreate it as SEWA)? I feel if we can get it to work on its own, it could be beneficial to all the wikis involved, and serve a better purpose than "Look at all these non-Wikia wikis. Yay." Some sort of solution. What's true is that it has to be dealt with; its current status is unsatisfactory.

UxieLover1994 Cuando la vida te da las herramientas, a construir motos libración — 08:50, 21 September 2014 (UTC) Yes, we should go with the idea of reviving it, rather than close it. Though I'm totally against the idea of allowing wikis being unfortunate enough to be a part of for-profit wiki farms who only care about money to join us. It would go against the idea of why NIWA and SEIWA were formed in the first place...

TheFifteenthMember Ignoring how these caterpillars uttered what they're trying to say, I do agree. — TheFifteenthMember 10:17, 21 September 2014 (UTC) Okay then, we're going for a revival instead of a disbandment. The Strategy Wiki shares the same view. In terms of the "SEWA" idea, I'm against it. If I'm not mistaken, the original purpose of SEIWA was to show that independent Wikis can be just as successful as wiki-farms so it'll be hypocritical to start accepting Wikia wikis as members too.

Bud0011 - "Hey, it's just like that old goat says: Rule#11: It's all just a game" TALK - 23:18, 21 September 2014 (UTC) Good day everyone. For those of you who don't know me, I host the server SEIWA is currently residing on. I have had to retire from working on the site, forums and wikis for health and other reasons, but have asked my team to take over. While they are all capable members in terms of Wiki- and Server-related issues, they are short in the knowledge of the Square Enix company (franchises, partners, etc.). They are more than willing to help with whatever is needed. We just need help on the SE end.
