This reflected the growing openness of information spread in the Suikoden community and the internet as a whole in the mid to late 2000s. Its closed doors and limited editors also led to criticism and accusations of elitism while its quick proliferation of articles led to a number of minor errors, misinterpretations and fandom assumptions being spread. | ||
The modern Gensopedia aims to rectify these problems but this had led, combined with the smaller modern Suikoden fanbase and a lack of exposure for Gensopedia itself, to a much slower rate of article creation and, in some cases, less detailed entries. The amount of control and editing done by its administrator has also been seen as a reason behind a lack of user contribution. It is hoped that these problems can be overcome in time. | The modern Gensopedia aims to rectify these problems but this had led, combined with the smaller modern Suikoden fanbase and a lack of exposure for Gensopedia itself, to a much slower rate of article creation and, in some cases, less detailed entries.
