I am not saying all RP people around here only do that, but it seems like a fair number only came here for the RP forum, if many of the comments on the other CT were any indication, which defeats the purpose of this wiki to a certain extent. If the vote in the other CT was any indication, roughly two-thirds of the users of this wiki are primarily here for the RP forum, and a large portion of them appear to have only come here for the RP forum. Yeah, I said this constantly on the other thread. The RP community accounts for roughly 2/3 of the active user base of this Wiki. However even if most, or some, (I never really counted how many never contributed to the mainspace) don't contribute to the mainspace that doesn't mean they should be 'kicked out' of the Wiki, by completely removing the RP Board.

But like I said in my other comments above, there was a lot of tension between the Mainspacers and the RPers. As I'm sure many RPers noticed we, the RPers, were kind of treated like second-class 'citizens' and not shown any respect from some of the Mainspacers (Not all, I know not all felt this way. But some did, that much is obvious). So yeah, unless something changed this tension would only have built up and created more drama.
