The old CASYDL page.

"We all know that Complaining About Shows You Don't Like is verboten on the main wiki. This is the wiki's bearded evil twin. So go ahead. But if you haven't watched any of these shows, you're just going to make an ass of yourself when others call you on inaccuracies. You have been warned. Oh, and justifying edits abound here, too. This does NOT give you free rein to start insulting personal beliefs, political beliefs, or to be racist. This is not a page to start flame wars."

I could rant and complain about that page, but the above paragraph pretty much speaks for itself.

My first thought was "damn, we had that hideous Darth Wiki color scheme all the way back in 2008?"

Yep, we did. I remember DW going back to at least the fall of 08.

I remember late in the page's run, when it started getting real nasty. I was afraid to ever post on it, I feared I would be eaten alive by angry nerds.

All of the characters except for Yuki are terrible

Clearly, this person is watching some bizzaro-Haruhi Suzumiya where all the interesting characters are bad, and the boring characters are good.

Anyway, carry on with your discussion of the actual topic of this thread.

I remember when there were 50+ entries after the index bars.

^ See, that's the problem. It told you not to start flame wars when every entry is almost designed to make people angry.

WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE.

Eh, the old Discontinuity pages were worse. Extremely sarcastic and pretentious variants on "____ does not exist" get irritating very, very fast, and it spread like Two Words Obvious Trope. At least Complain About Shows You Don't Like actually (sort of) worked as a quarantine zone.

I hated when Discontinuity was potholed everywhere. It struck me as rather self-righteous, somehow.

Yeah, I know. I'm looking at it right now, and basically every single entry there is obvious flamebait, complete with insulting people who even dare to watch a show that the person writing the entry doesn't personally like.
