So, I guess they just want to have a standard wiki? Like, never going forward and building a community, or creating an environment of fun and happiness? Just... a standard, boring, on-par wiki? That's like USA saying "Ugh, I hate being so advanced, I wish I was back to being a British Colony."

We are MORE than a wiki! That's good! Very good! Why would you want to take that away?

A "standard" Wiki?? That's what the purpose of a Wiki is!! The comparison you make to being advanced doesn't make sense at all and has nothing to do with the arguments pro-removal people are making. The argument we're making is that the RP boards go against the purpose of a Wiki. You're saying the Wiki will lose progress. The RP boards never contributed to the progress of the Wiki, that was contributed to by editors who added their knowledge to the Wiki.

Is school "fun and happy"? For those who like learning yes, those who don't will indeed find school boring. THIS IS EXACTLY THE PURPOSE OF A WIKI- to provide knowledge, a place for people to learn. Some of us enjoy learning, and we find pleasure in making edits and adding to the wealth of knowledge that is held here, just as some of you take pleasure in RPing. Have some empathy and realise that just as you enjoy RPing and find that "standard stuff" boring, we find that standard stuff, the purpose of a Wiki, to be enjoyable and we probably see your RPing as boring. Feelings aside, I look at this situation from an objective manner- the point of a Wiki is to be a place filled with knowledge and have a community built around this idea of knowledge contribution. If you want to be part of a RPing community, go join a RPing forum or Wiki and stop ruining this encyclopaedia Wiki for the rest of us :/ Ruining it!? It's already ruined! This wiki is like the Draugr, barely hanging on. ADDING A RP COMMUNITY KEEPS THIS ALIVE.

So say that RPs are ruining it? THEN WHY NOT STOP THIS DISCUSSION AND CONTRIBUTE TO ESO, YOU HYPOCRITE.

Wow, calm down :/ This is exactly the point I'm trying to make- adding a RP community is not going to 'save' a Wiki even if it does bring activity, because that activity is not helping to contribute to the true purpose of a Wiki, which is providing the public with knowledge...

Also, look at this whole discussion. People bickering and fighting with each other, or personally attacking each other asking them to leave. This is what the RP board has helped bring to the Wiki...
