They don't. Not everything is about articles and the mainspace. The mainspace is the well...main space, but a Wiki is more than just a collection of articles. If it wasn't then why would Wikia add all these extra features anyway? To build communities, that is why. And that is one of the things the RP Board does best. Just read through the Oppose votes above. The RP Board brought many users to this Wiki, and it continues to do so. A lot of people joined solely because of the RP Board.

99% of the users that Oppose are a part of the RP Community, some do edit the mainspace and other places in the Wiki but some do not, some are solely here to RP. Just look at the vote count, 35-Oppose and 15-Support. That makes the RP community 2/3 of the active user base. The RP Community is a part of the Wiki, whether some people like it or not.

Note how I said 'active' user base, as in users that actively come to the Wiki everyday. I know there are more users than these but they are semiactive. A Wiki can't survive on semiactive users alone, as those users can easily become inactive for long periods of time. It needs users that come on everyday.
