I haven't had time to read every single message posted in this thread, but in my opinion I think it's not the RP forum that is wrong or has to be moved out: It is the forum system and how it interacts with Special:RecentChanges and Special:WikiActivity. The activity monitors getting flooded with messages is a flaw in the activity monitor itself, as every other board contributes to this problem just as much. While WikiActivity is a lost cause, RecentChanges is something that deserves some extra attention from Wikia itself, subforum-filters would be a nice addition.

Please take in mind that that Special:Forum is in Beta (yes it has been in Beta for a very long time now) and we are allowed to send Wikia feedback. We all have come together with a pretty solid list of improvements to be made, so we can do something with this knowledge instead.

Moving out to affiliates is a very ticky point and isn't very likely to go flawless. Contrary to belief, with the RP board is in our house, we (the community) have some way of controlling what happens in there. If we outsource it we may risk it ending in a failure and we have even more dead weight in our affiliates-list.
