Alright, so recently, I've seen some lack of activity, especially today, and I wasn't satisfied of it. There was barely any activity, excluding mine.

Overview
First things first I find it kinda normal for the community to be somewhat inactive for 2-3 hours in 9AM-12AM at my time. Now, this type of inactivity is increasing.

Second, there is a wide variety of minigames, and the only people who are literally playing them all on a daily basis are me and Ender Creeper14. Minigames in here are supposed to be the most fun part of a community like this one, yet even the minigames are dying.

Third of all, despite the pixel gun players being around like 50K online, there are like a maximum of one thousand readers for an article, but that only exceeds on the Pixel Gun 3D Updates article when the Pixel Gun Company releases a new update. Also, most of the readers tend to read Pixel Gun 3D articles rather than Pixel Gun World articles. I'll tell you the cause of this big issue.

Causes
There are multiple causes for the inactivity and reader count problems.


 * This is a long cause, but it is first of all because has made the game P2W and free. While making it free gets more players, it doesn't benefit the experience of players. While this is not only the issue about it, the real issue about it is that some of the modern famous PG3D YouTubers are posting hacks, because the game is P2W. Because of these hacks, people will leave the game due to OP weapons being used/spammed all the time, or they may even possess infinite health and ammunition. And what about that? A lot of people ragequit from the game because of these hacks.
 * Pixel Gun World is shut down. 1 million users, and barely any readers. The reason why is because most of the PGW articles were created after the game has shut down.
 * Some outdated information in the articles. While almost all the information is up-to-date enough, some decently outdated information can be dangerous, by the fact that a specific article with minor outdated information may possibly lose readers. Example, if you say that "Pixel Gun World is going to release soon", the article could lose like 500 weekly readers.
 * The game itself is just not what it used to be. It sucks to see all of the bad changes in Pixel Gun 3D, which made the community of the game go downhill, in terms of counting. It's just the PGC's fault for doing this, and for decreasing the amount of readers in this wiki.
 * Not spreading the word enough. Maybe we aren't spreading the word enough? Not spreading the word enough won't attract a few extra readers, and maybe contributors.
 * Maybe people prefer videos nowadays. This is what I'm aware of. By 2020, 80% of the population prefer watching a factual video rather than reading an article So Wikipedia might go downhill too, in terms of readers.

Solutions
Don't worry guys, at least I have created some solutions to improve the community and contribution activity.


 * Fix Pixel Gun 3D by making it 0.99$, not free and P2W, nerf the OP content, maybe remove pets make the game much better than it is right now, and make the hacking system more accurate.
 * Bring back Pixel Gun World, or at least make a very similar version yay, more work for us . Pixel Force is re-developing a similar game, so we can consider this solution to be complete soon.
 * Proofread some articles and verify if any article provides outdated information.
 * Spread the word about this wiki! Well, do it only to pixel gun communities.
 * Add large screen videos. It is part of modern web design. Do not do this solution, only the staff members should.

Hope you enjoyed my rant about the general inactivity of this wiki.
