Lyorn Records needs help!

I have just been notified by the great Wikia gods that I am pretty much 
the only user who has edited the domain for the Lyorn Records wikia in the 
last 30 days.

I hasten to point out that this is not actually correct, as Davdi 
Silverrock has made some contributions of his own during this time, but 
sadly, the other regular contributors to the site (including its founder) 
seem to have vanished... 

The point here is that the wikia managers need traffic (most especially, 
they need *proof* of traffic, in the form of users editing articles) to 
justify the continued existence of a wikia domain. (Being ad-driven, it's 
easy to justify server space for a site that generates traffic, but alas, 
I alone do not buy enough merchandise from their advertisers to be of much 
interest to them from a revenue standpoint.)

This then, is a plea for help. 

If you have a free moment, visit the Lyorn Records, and make a 
contribution. It doesn't have to be a major rewrite of anything, just 
enough to show that many individual users are interested in the content 
the site provides. (It's much better to get 10 people making a minor 
spelling correction than 2 people writing full-length articles.)

...and while a one-time edit will help (and be greatly appreciated), 
taking a moment once a week or so to visit and tweak an article or two 
will do a lot to cement the longer-term survival of this tremendous 
Dragaera resource.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Lyorn Records, check it out at:

Among its useful attributes are articles on each house, plot summaries for 
all of the books, countless speculative articles, and my own personal pet 
project, the Dramatis Personae list (now with over 620 names!):

If worse comes to worst, and the wikia is taken away, I will at least save 
this list (perhaps posting it on my own Dragaera site) but, alas, I cannot 
do the same for the rest of the articles on the wikia. 

Thank you very much for your time.
