:::::::: As for why, I have some suspicions: some failed attempts to do individually what we've done collectively, mis-understanding of how collaborative efforts in wiki form work, lingering emotions when we re-focused on canon vice fanon (thereby cutting some peoples' attempts to self-advertise). But, in the end, it's the fans that ''do'' use us that vastly outnumber the vocal minority.--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 13:15, 7 September 2013 (PDT)

:::::::::I haven't been keeping up with the podcasts as much as I should, but the podcast hosts (especially SeanLang) link to sarna regularly. There was [http://www.nogutsnogalaxy.net/forum/index.php/topic,815.15.html one thread] that was about what Clan Mechs people wanted to see in MWO; many of the responses had Sarna links in them, which made me very happy. -[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 13:34, 7 September 2013 (PDT)

::::::People don't hate Sarna. I think we're a "valued" community asset - people know and use Sarna a lot, but they won't neccessarily harp about how great the site is. I never personally expected positive feedback. On the other hand, Sarna is just an independent fan wiki at the end of the day. Some people (quite correctly) opine that a wiki shouldn't ever be taken as gospel as a matter of principle. And among 17k articles there are undeniably those with various issues. I don't feel it's a bad thing when errors on Sarna are discussed in a public forum, as it gives me the opportunity to a) possibly identify and correct false information here and b) defend, explain & advertise the Sarna BTW to an audience who may have been oblivious to Sarna before while they're actually reading with interest (because Sarna was slammed, that always garners interest). In this sense, there is no such thing as bad press. :) [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 03:42, 8 September 2013 (PDT)
