"What's with all these WPRs popping up while I'm gone?! They're like WEEDS!" -- Petz upon returning from hiatus

Why is it that out of nowhere, WPRs are springing up and dying just as quickly? BAM! there they are then BAM! they're dead! It's just like a weed, really. Some WPRs have their roots firmly in the ground and are sticking around for the long run. It's become a trend to be a WPR, and almost no one can pull it off. Take a look at the online Sailormoon community and look at how much of it revolves around approval with WPRs, how the WPRs determine who is popular and who isn't. It's just plain silly. Most WPRs are the exact same basic thing, just like a weed. Same structure, same basic appearance, same annoyance factor. People don't care to frequent the majority of the WPRs because they are dead and have nothing new to offer. So before you decide to turn into a WPR, consider this: will you just be another weed that will die as soon as you appear? Will you evolve over time and thrive, or will you slowly rot?

Here are all the WPRs we've located and their status:

We did not include "The Surfer's Guide To Good SM Pages" because it isn't a WPR, just a clever links site.

Note: I say "rip-off" when there's already an active team with those members and they haven't given permission to use the same team
