I've been asked and told many times to go back on the recolor ban. And time and time again, I've pointed users to old threads and stuff, and they STILL don't understand. I get what you guys are saying though. "Every fandom has recolors, why is it such a big deal here?"

Well understand this, recolors are unoriginal and have a very bland and low quality style. We have so many of them that it killed the Weegee fad, even back before this wiki. We've managed to keep it alive, the few noble of us, but recoloring sooo much is beating this revived horse into death again. If you really believe you have a good reason to continue recoloring, then state your objection firmly. I've yet to see one that actually makes a good enough point.

Now isn't the time to continue the same old crap, now is the time to prosper. Now is the time that we change the formula forever, and in a way that really makes us stand out and look great. That is what I want to achieve ultimately. Have a quality wiki that stands out and puts new meaning into this old fad.

And some of us have indeed been trying to achieve that goal. Many old and new fakegees (and other characters) alike are very original and have creative stories. Now more than ever, especially, we see this sort of creativity. The halt of recolors allowed this creativity to shine unhithered.

So I thank the users who are creative and try to help this wiki. And to those of you who want to continue recoloring, stop. It is older than my dead grandma and your recolors already clutter over a 1/4 of the entire wiki's pages.

Now let's get out there and make a best-seller.
