User blog:Seaside98/Splitting the Community

A few months ago, Drew told me that he got a message from Brickipedia asking him if he would like to move to their new site. I was a bit hesitant to agree with the move, but after hearing about all the new features and freedoms we would have, I agreed.

Now, months later, I am beginning to rethink my decision. I know that the new site will probably be better than Wikia. I know that we will have many more freedoms and features. But all this will come at the cost of splitting the wiki, and more importantly the community. Is it worth it?

Already, before we have even begun to move, the wiki has gone crazy. Nearly half the users are opposed to the move, and more arguments are starting every day. If all the users were willing to give it a shot, we might test out the new site and see if it works or fits everyone's needs. Sadly, I see that not everyone is going to. This has just turned into one big, over sized mess. I will do anything within my power to make sure this move doesn't take place, and that our community stays in one piece.
