In other words, if people want to do other things on another wiki, feel free, that's fine. I fail to understand, however, why this wiki should endorse (and thus officaily support the actions of) this other wiki.

Therefore, B. If people who aren't in agreeance with how the wiki is run, then a lot of the negativity here would leave. It would support this wiki too, and thats why it shoild be endorsed. (Note: I expanded upon my original comment that you quoted).

In response to you: I understand the reasoning for the creation of this new wiki. If there are sharp divisions over certain rules and customs, I understand why some would want to leave, I get that.

If people want to leave, though, then they should just leave – without an endorsement from the LMBW of any sort. Having the LMBW endorse this other place... that seems unnecessary, as well as just confusing, seeing as the two places would have entirely different ideas, customs, rules, staff, etc... Why should the LMBW support a site that has opposing views on these matters? We've done it before. For example, we've endorsed Brickimedia, and we all know about the differences between is and them, so IDK the big difference there. First, I don't even agree with the fact we've officially affiliated with them in the past. :P But, supporting them makes more sense than this situation, because Brickimedia is an entirely different site (brickimedia has the brickipedia wiki, customs wiki, ideas wiki, etc... they don't have a lego message boards wiki there).

Now compare that to this situation. In this situation, we would be officially endorsing a wiki with the same name and same general purpose, but with entirely different staff members, ideas, rules, opinions, etc. Makes no sense to me. Why not? Why is being different and supporting it so taboo?
