Last I checked, wikis weren't judged by how many people frequent them. Also, people keep saying that here a divide between members would be created if the proposed plan went through, to which I say, "Any more than there already is of a divide?" Looking at this thread, there are users bemoaning the fact that the RPers are a redundant and unnecessary part of the wiki; while the Rpers insist that the forums are larger and more widely used than the mainspace. Moving the RP board should help to remove this rivalry, as the mainspace ditors would stay in the mainspace and the RPers would stay on the RP wiki, therefore creating less arguments. People seem to be afraid and angry at the board moving; this is illogical to me, as it would harm no-one, with no discernable negative repurcussions that oculd be taken seriously. It would just be moving a board to a place where it would be out of the way to make things easier for people on the main wiki, not removing it. I just don't see what the problem is, so I still maintain that the moving of RP board is a good thing, which I endorse. There is no rivalry. As the RP Board never claimed to be more important than the mainspace. The 'divide' is that a lot of users claim the RP board is useless and redundant while all the Board wants is respect. We don't want to be insulted by users that don't like Rping, calling us irrelevant and 'edit spammers'. We don't care if there are people that don't like to RP, that is fine since it is their personal preference. We don't have an issue with that. If you move the board you lose users, plain and simple. Since most RPers are likely not to come back. As I've said before moving the board is a terrible idea and bad for the community. People have already stated why they don't want it transferred, as it might cause loss of content and other problems. I have also stated that since there are 4 different sites that the RPers can go to, and frankly no one can agree on one site as everyone has their own preferences, the RP community will be split up. Which is bad for us. We like it here because this is the hub where the groups from the other RP sites come together.
