What can I say folks? We are going into decline. I am absolutely devistated to see this happen, but I just have to keep reminding myself that it's the natural Butler Lifecycle Model. Discovery is the start of anything. The egg. People then see the attraction and like the look of it and so decide to help out - Involvement. More and more people come and there is an exponential growth - Development. Then it gets super duper crowded and bursting with activity - Consolidation. But then eventually, after continual growth, it must start to slow down and level off - Stagnation. I have seen this Wikia go through all of these stages.
 * 1) Discovery.
 * 2) Involvement.
 * 3) Development.
 * 4) Consolidation.
 * 5) Stagnation.

But one look at the stats shows me that I can no longer deny. After a few false alarms, I am almost certain we have reached the nasty, but inevitable, sixth stage.

6.  Decline.

Yesterday we fell under 300 edits. We have not seen stats this low in living memory. This was our typical edit count in a day back in September 2013.

It seems that we are going into decline, friends. Decline. It happens. And I have no idea what to do. I do not want this Wikia to have a tragic death. And I don't believe it will come to that. Wikias can chug along for 10 years. Why would ours go down after just 2?

But today I saw SIX HOURS between edits. SIX! Before we hit decline it was rare for there to be ONE hour between edits.

But what I didn't tell you is that there IS a potential seventh step to the Butler Lifecycle Model:

7.  Rejuvination.

Please.

We can't let this Wikia die. :'(
