:That's even sillier, no one is deciding to play in online Melee tourneies or not based on if SmashWiki has an article on some online tournament that 99.9% of readers will never see. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 23:58, August 29, 2021 (EDT) | :That's even sillier, no one is deciding to play in online Melee tourneies or not based on if SmashWiki has an article on some online tournament that 99.9% of readers will never see. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 23:58, August 29, 2021 (EDT) | ||
:Our tournament series at the time was the only prominent smashladder sponsored tournament series at the time, a lot of people that played in them are nowadays established players, and a lot of them were players that were working on getting better. Having a SSBwiki page for Online tournaments at the time would not have made a big difference I don't think, but what I'm saying isn't false either. People love seeing their name on pages, they can tell their friends hey look that's what I play and that player got top 3 look at his page, it's on a wiki (you know instead of being on a imgur link or whatever we ended doing at the time). When netplay tournaments had top 100 players, more than 100 entries, It would have been quite fun to have the seal of approval and found ourself a home at ssbwiki. Instead we got a response that ended up deleting all of our work on the wiki, which wasn't much mind you at the time, although I do think it was poorly handled with the likes of giving us multiple reasons onto why we couldn't at different time frames. The likes of, "Well your tournament isn't notable enough, there's not enough good players".. well fine, we did have a few with a good amount of players so only posting the big ones would be fine. But then we ended up getting the "Well actually, no we just don't publish netplay tournaments at all", and then a response close to "Actually we would if, bla bla bla.". Was kind of poorly handled in that sense. Professionally speaking it was a disaster and left all of us with a bitter taste in our mouths for sure. Now, as I said, Online melee I think could have gained a bit more traction if it ended up getting a bit more respect at the time, and maybe published a few article here and there. Nowadays, I don't care and I don't want anything to do with that tournament series, nor the people, nor the crew that was directing it, nor SSbwiki. We were already good enough on our own at the time without the help of SSBwiki, we had top players, a good playerbase but getting more exposure doesn't hurt anyone. And If you don't think a page of our crew at the time, Power rankings Weekly updated, Monthly tournaments, wouldn't have help the online community grow, then I can't say anything to that. Sincerly...

Sincerly...(also I should add that, some of those comments refereed earlier to your "staff" were also deleted, and I did mention in my Original comment that it was from 2016~, so no I didn't expect a response and I wasn't trying to be "slick") [[User:Evilpcx|Evilpcx]] ([[User talk:Evilpcx|talk]]) 00:18, August 30, 2021 (EDT) | ||
