User blog comment:ShawnCognitionCP/Why the Roleplaying Board Should Not be Removed/@comment-4565203-20140910003059/@comment-17114085-20140911015748

1) Not enough people moved over, the ones that did still RP here anyway. A few users tried to move the RPing from this wiki to the TES RP Wiki, however mostly everyone stayed here. So it didn't catch on and mostly died off, those it is still semi-active. Everyone was pretty much aware of its existence, so the problem was linking to it. People just got accustomed to RPing here I guess.

1.5) It wouldn't force people to decided which wiki to be on, but since a lot of people just come here for RPing then there would no longer be a point in coming to this wiki if the board is moved to another wiki. Hence why the exodus would still happen.

2) Same thing as the post above. If you take away the main reason why some users come to this wiki they are likely not to return to it.

3) This is true, which is why removing the RP board would be a bad idea. Like many people have commented that board in specific is the reason why many users even created an account in the first place.

4) The forum mods rarely have to intervene in the RPs Board. The only policy that is usually broken in RPs in directly posting pictures onto the forum, though this also only happens sometimes. That board is rarely vandalized, trolled, spammed and almost never creates long debates and flame wars. So the RPs don't really need a mod to constantly look over them, as that part of the community is pretty well knit together. We can take care of our own problems if one does arise every once in a while and contact an admin if the rare vandal/troll appears.
