Also I believe one of the arguements was the splitting up of the RP community, wouldn't having different wikis instead of one do just that? It seemed like moving to another wiki was a problem but since the original forum gets to stay and now there are links to the other wikis to RP now it makes it better. It seems to me that this is just one step ahead of moving the board anyway which was what the OP was about. I get where people are seeing the "compromise" but it doesn't seem it. Before everyone jumps all gung-ho about this I think it needs to be discussed more. Even though the original discussion resulted in a lot of flaming, anger, and arguing there was days of discussions and more discussions on this vote forum. No it won't be locked. But if someone, who is unaware of the Compromise(should it be adopted), posts directly on the thread he will be directed to the Wiki that is hosting the RP. One post isn't going to cause a problem.

The split between the RPers would've if this wasn't the Hub. But since it is going to be, meaning most if not all of the RPs taking place on the different Wiki's will be linked to here, it shouldn't split it up. The problem was that if the Board was removed people would go to the different Wikis and stay there, no longer interacting with the other groups of the RP Community due to 'rivalry' between the RP Wikis. I think that if the HC is adopted then it wouldn't be about which Wiki the RP is taking place it, but the RP itself.

The thing is a lot of the RPers are already a part of another RP Wiki and they don't want to be forced to join the ESRP Wiki or any other Wiki that would been chose to move the Board to. Giving people the choice to choose which Wiki their RP is hosted on is only right. They shouldn't be forced to go to one Wiki that they don't want to be a part of. And if this stays the hub they will see the RPs that the other Wikis are hosting and it should get people to warm up to the idea of being a apart of more than one of them and it should keep the RP community together because of it.

I agree the Compromise is not perfect, but it does solve almost all the problems both sides were having. So far there hasn't been a better compromise proposed. If one were to be proposed that would be better than the HC then I see no problem in adopting that compromise. But like I said before unless something changes with the Board the problem of the divide between the community won't go away. It my seem like it did but it will only be pushed aside and grow due to resentment between the Wiki's user base. So unless something is done now this problem will come up again and be worst than it is now.
