One thing I noticed is that they seem quite...firm...in their approach to potential new contributions to the project. Was somewhat wondering how that worked in practice.

My mother always taught me that if I can't say something nice, I shouldn't say anything at all...
Suffice it to say, I find their administrators to be a bunch of [DATA EXPUNGED]. Other than that, they've generated some decent content....a mountain of crap...but some decent content (invoking Sturgeon's Law). I don't know - maybe their experience with new users is different from ours... Maybe that's what's lead to their admins being [REDACTED] all the time.... Who knows? Then again - maybe that's what happens when 90% of your contributors first learned of the site while browsing 4chan?

On the worldbuilding front, a couple of friends of mine and I have two different fantasy settings in the oven currently for use in the occasional D&D game. That's mainly done in-person or over text messages and a data drop-box.

As a solo endeavor, I've got a mountain of unpublished fantasy fiction I've been writing since I was in middle school... It's bullet stopping power is right up there with Feist's Riftwar or Jordan's Wheel of Time. Most of it will be cremated with my remains - unread, if I have my way - because it's just that horrible.

Nothing will knock you down a peg or two quite so quickly as reading something you wrote when you were 14 years old. And if any of you reading this are 14 years old, that goes for you too. I mean - I love you, I embrace you as a fellow creator, I hope you continue writing for the rest of your life....but when you get all old and mean and look back on the stuff you are writing now....it'll make you flinch like you've been gut-punched.
