He/she meant, is Brickimedia the same place as here?

Of course not. It'll be different. It'll have users from other wikis - some not so nice. It'll have less users from here - most of us seem to be staying. As I said, it's tearing us apart.

Your specifically engineered site to cater to our needs is not working.

Because features of a site are not the only needs. The community is, in the end, the most important.

And that's why this wiki is still intact, despite the major issues in the past few months. We have a good community.

Now with the move, the community is being torn to shreds. We're falling apart. We were before, very slowly, but you reached over with Brickimedia and tore us, literally, in half. We're against each other now.

Don't you see? Friends are arguing, fighting, people are leaving...

This won't end well. For anyone.

The LMBW Brickimedia site will end up as a little-visited mess with few pages, and this site will end up as a derelict site for "homeless" users to visit. The only difference is that this site will have all the pages on it.

The saddest part, is that this site will eventually empty out. There'll be few members actually editing, and contributing. People will leave, one by one, and all that will be left after a few years, will be the frozen remains of a dead wiki.

Like the LU wiki.

It's painful for me to visit that site. Do you know why? Because LU was my favorite game. I loved it. It closed, I was sad. But we had the community, yes?

But the wiki is dead now.

And it'll be far, far more painful to see this site in the same state. I'll remember the friends, the funny moments, the fun moments, and see a dead site. And it'll be so very painful.

But hey, maybe it's not too late to avoid this fate.

But it will require some sacrifice.
