Was this sappy? Yes. Heartfelt, too. But after investing so many years of your life in a project you wholeheartedly believe in, seeing it helplessly crumble and suffer, and then seeing it heal back to life... it really leaves you feeling emotional. Now let's go out there and continue our work; we still have articles to merge, you know! Oh, and a happy new year, everybody! — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 05:49, 31 December 2014 (EST) | Was this sappy? Yes. Heartfelt, too.

:I agree completely. I still remember 4 years ago when we were still hosted on Wikia, and here we are now. So many things have changed in those past four years. Some were good, some were bad. Some were big, some were little. But my point is: nothing is the same. Fate has sent us on this path, and this is probably only the beginning of even greater change. Will it be good? I think it will. | |||
:When the split happened, I hadn't realized what damage it had caused until ''Pikmin 3'' was revealed in 2012. Like Espyo said, it was bad for both wikis. Two divided wikis, which couldn't achieve their potential because of Wikia. If it were not for the community reuniting and becoming one again... I shudder to think at it. That's not the case though: we have overcome Wikia, the biggest obstacle that stood in our way. If we can deal with Wikia, we can deal with anything. | |||
:To be honest, I never had thought that we would reunite. There were some hopes, but ultimately, the chance of reunification just seemed too slim... It was so, so jarring to see this rift in the community that could not be bridged. Two wikis, clashing against each other when they were never meant to be apart. If it was not for the courage of the Pikmin Wiki folk, we probably wouldn't be together right now, so I thank them for that. When the merge happened, I was so excited, but also relieved. A huge concern had lifted, and things finally took a turn for the better. I'm so happy that we are reunited. I can safely say that nothing will come in between us again. Pikipedia will be prosperous and split-free until the end of time! ...Probably. | |||
:Thanks for a wonderful 2014 everybody. Let's make 2015 just as amazing! {{User:PikFan23/sig}} 02:56, 1 January 2015 (EST) | |||
