The Leavings

The Leavings was an term used by users in the Big Nate Comment Section in regards to the sudden traffic of users deciding the leave the Wiki.

Background
Around December 10th 2019, select users suddenly announced in the Discussion part of the Big Nate Comments Wiki that they were leaving due to heavy amounts of drama, increased hate or harassment and other various factors. This pattern was first noticed by SuperTalker101, who decided to make a Discussion post regarding the occurrences; dubbing it "The Leavings". This would later be adopted into the professional term for describing the happenings.

Involvement
There were 7 users involved with the happening, listed in chronological order:
 * BiggerNate91
 * PigLoverGoComics
 * MintCrepe
 * Mistytrainz
 * Bignatebaseball(as a joke)
 * P-dog (Returned, then terminated, then returned again)
 * GarfieldMN (as a joke)
 * ComicsCreatorz PigLover
 * GiantNate91 (Basically)

Speculated Reasons & Timeline
The original post, made by PigLoverGoComics, explains in detail about alleged harassment and verbal assault that is taking place in the wiki. "I find it rather hurtful" was PigLoverGoComics description of the harassment that was taking place. Shortly after PigLoverGoComics's post, MintCrepe followed suit by posting his farewell message. The main focus of his post was describing the drama that has recently engulfed the wiki by the apparent enrollment of new members and "attention whores".

Several other former members of the wiki decided to leave the wiki in accordance with the same issue: drama.

Awareness
On December 13th, 2019, SuperTalker101 and GarfieldMN both made posts regarding The Leavings. This raised awareness around the issue that was happening, although there has yet to be any action taken to prevent the users from leaving.

Future Possibilities
The user CrossDoggo may also be planning to leave in accordance to his post in the discussion regarding the increasing levels of drama and the decreasing amount of users on the wiki.

Neptune7Ninja2Comics (A major wiki editor) has stated a few times on the BN discord server that he would is thinking about leaving shortly after the end of the winter cup (Febuary 15th)

Many users are also placing bets on how long the leaving users will be gone for. You can find that page here.
