It would definitely not be hypocritical to remove the RP forum from this wiki, because to my knowledge, no other wiki has an RP forum like this, but they do have an Off-Topic forum and/or Chat.

From my point of view, users who are dedicated or are only here for the RP forum had no real business coming here in the first place. I think we have a completely different definition of what is good for this wiki, Lab Coat Billy. All I see happening if this path continues to be followed is the RP forum becoming the complete and total focus of this wiki, which is already starting. Many Wikis did and some still do. However whenever the Board is moved to another Wiki that RP Wiki ends up dying. Just look at the Fallout Wiki. They had an RP Board, they moved it to two different RP Wikis and a Fanon Wiki. One is dead and the others are barely holding on to their life. An RP Wiki, as numerous occasions have shown, almost never succeeds on its own. It needs a base Wiki to keep it going, or else it almost never attracts new users. A lot of people like myself didn't even know about RPing or whether they enjoyed it or not until they clicked on the RP Board out of curiosity, as a certain thread caught their attention, and ended up liking it.
