I'm actually about to finish my dissertation in the coming weeks. My first dissertation was in a field that didn't require as much writing (unless you count the code), so this has been quite a bit more challenging in comparison--and it took a bit more time too. >_<

Haha, I suspect that the problems with the Arlen Grace page came from the opposite side of the spectrum: People who have been long frustrated with all the Enne and Colourless December (among others) parentage theories, and who were too eager to scorn all of those with "No, it's Arlen!". Well and--putting it in the dissertation speak--larger sample size of invested individuals increases the chance for a problematic outlier of an individual to come about.

As for Discord, I've noticed some rather infamous usernames among the online members, which has been somewhat discouraging--some have been a notable pain here, while others have been a notable pain on Bato.to. For instance, one of those people is likely to inform you that he's "an engineer from a top university" (possibly even that he's a civil engineer) if you dig into his arguments; that line got used against a number of people on Bato.to. People like that, as well as anyone who jumped on their wagon for one reason or another, are sure to have a strong opinion about how things ought to be--they know the best after all. =P

As for the rest, if there are some constructive ideas, I'm more than happy to discuss them on here and see what can be done. Although, any discussion about operation changes should definitely include yourself so beware.

Why yes, you should feel accomplished! The wiki not only exists, but also continues to grow and flourish. To be honest, these days I'm more interested in the ToG wiki than in the ToG itself, and that is saying something. =)
