Could the Wonderland Games become "popular"?

I know it's basically impossible but I want to know everybody's opinions on the matter.
Would it becoming popular be a good thing?
Would it stay popular?
Would it inspire others to make similar games?
I don't believe it would actually happen but I just want to know what everyone thinks would happen if it did
Can't wait to hear everyone's thoughts!
EDIT-after many edits I realized I just had to shorten the title. thanks for your help!

Use the edit function and edit the post subject.
As for your questions, I honestly have no idea what to think.
I don't think similar games would be made.
If there's another Wonderland game, it'd stay popular for many more years.
If it became popular, I have no idea if it'd be good or bad.
Edit: Darn it Phoenix, you posted while I was posting.

It can be popular again if Midnight Synergy makes a new Wonderland game or maybe not, I don't know...
I think that's a good thing, the more popular game, the more people will be active here
As well as all other games, it would be less popular after while time
Of course! All of us here on the forum make our versions of this game
This is just my opinion...

Thanks for your opinions! it's nice to know that people still enjoy a lesser known game series that has been around for so long. if only more people knew about it...

I still enjoy playing the Wonderland games from time to time. If another game came out, that would certainly get this community much more involved and active.
Will the games reach the general public and become slightly well known? I seriously doubt it, but that's okay.

Maybe WE can make it popular again? Who says we have to wait for MS? Maybe we can make our own 4th Installment. Of course we wouldn't sell it, but It would be a fan game to bring closure to the series, finally filling in the blanks to answers we never got, like, "Why is Loopy so Loopy", or "Will the Z-Bot from the end of POTZ be evil?" c'mon guys. I believe in us.

Ummm... I doubt anyone would find the motivation to do that, much less with other people. Besides, MS would probably shoot down the idea anyway, because he probably already has ideas of his own that he'll reveal to us later. People have been talking about that if MS made a new game, older, more experienced people would return, but that's not us.
What about your hub, anyway? There doesn't seem to be much progress on it. You should probably finish that before trying to make an entirely new wonderland game, be it a 4th WA installment or a completely new engine.
I'm sorry for the salt, but you start a lot of projects you don't finish.

Okay you know what? Bring on the salt, because screw logic, and screw me. I don't care if anyone is going to team up with me. Honestly, my hubs were pure s#^$, but hey, I honestly had no idea what I was doing. But now, after my year of silence, I spent it studying, using various tutorials... and now I think with some help, I can make a flawless hub. But alone, I can't. If anyone wants to help, let me know.

That's nice but most of us already making their own hubs or other things.
I am making my hub and CvP with Finn. I do not have time to do another project, sorry...
But I am glad because you are back

That does sound like a very interesting idea, however, i think everyone is right. Everyone is making their own little things and wouldn't be able to make time for it. Those that would be able to contribute would probably not be very active or would be inexperienced(me).
While I was writing this though, I did think of an idea. It is slightly far-fetched, but I'm just throwing it out there.
What if sometime in the future, each person that still uses the board would make a level each. It wouldn't have to be amazing, it would just be a collection of levels that show what the board has to offer. Then they would all be combined into a sort of hub except its only purpose is to join all the levels together.
(It's just an idea I don't expect it to happen)

That sounds good, but...
It's hard to organize something like that...
I have no problem to create some adventures for someone's hub but I don't want to start new project, unless...
-It's not a big project
-All of us should take part in it
If each of us makes a couple of levels, we have one good hub for a little while.
Now questions are how will organize it and who will volunteer...

I'll volunteer!

We can Call it WA; Community Creations! Boom! I could put the whole hub together with our levels in it. We can range them from fun to challenging! Maybe then we can bring back some old timers.
EDIT; Does ANYONE know how to get the WA Editor Working in Windows 10 Creators? I keep getting this error, and this never happened before creators update; The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close the application. If someone could help, I'd appreciate it.

If this is a thing that everyone is going to do then we should make a new topic for it.

If you have ideas for hub a good story I have nothing against
Or we can all together think the story:

I guess I'll go ahead and organize it, (if that's fine with people) as I feel that I'm doing VERY well with CC. Obviously it's not going to be a super-huge hub, but I'd say about 20-25 adventures sounds good.
However, I need to know who wants to volunteer. (If anyone does.)

It works just fine for me.

We might be the last four members who can bring back the forum. I'm also going to send you all a secret in a PM. As a way of saying thanks.

Hey, maybe we should all pitch in on the hub creation; it'd be fairer and add to the community aspect.

Everyone could make their own wlv, and we'd stitch them together.
I always wanted to know what the other worlds mentioned in POTZ were like. Also, in POTZ, the Class 001 Z-Bots said "their circuitry was too simple for complex programming", meaning they couldn't have been evil even if they wanted to.

What about the world that was scrapped completely, Glop?
Midnight Post Issue 25, Page 4 wrote:Were there any scrapped elements from WA3?
Yes, plenty! With the long development cycle, ideas kept popping up month after month. Eventually, we just had to stop implementing them, or else development could have gone on forever. There were preliminary designs for giant lumbering ice crabs on Qwertyx (big enough for you to run underneath), an entire world called “Glop” (a yucky place full of red ooze and muck), and colour coded rainbow tiles (with a very devious puzzle pattern).
