He should get back to me about it soon.}} | {{SC|time=23:42, November 4, 2010 (UTC)|text=The SIWA idea is genius, Doorsey.

{{JFHavoc|time=05:22, November 5, 2010 (UTC)|talk=The purpose of staying behind would be so that it doesn't become a festival for vandals. This Kingdom hearts Wiki is going to stay pretty far up on the google listings for a while. If people come here instead of the other wiki and find that the information on Sora's page has been changed to "Gay with Riku" then nothing is accomplished. If we were to leave, it might be a good idea to delete this wiki.}} | {{JFHavoc|time=05:22, November 5, 2010 (UTC)|talk=The purpose of staying behind would be so that it doesn't become a festival for vandals.

#That is not an end-goal, and at best it sounds like "putting the wiki in stasis", which wikia will not allow. | |||
#''Keeping this wiki high up in the google listing through that process'' '''is''' actively sabotaging the new wiki in the google listings. | |||
#To be speaking from ruthlessness, it's in the new wiki's best interests for this original site address's version to become a deterrent. The situation you describe would in fact increase traffic to the new wiki, both from users looking for an acceptable KH wiki, and from people searching on google. | |||
This isn't like when we split off into the kh fanon wikia. We're not keeping any sancrosanct material at both locations - only one. The "staying behind" thing, as you guys describe it, is ''directly'' analagous to a cicada keeping its husk just so that it doesn't get eaten - the cicada has absolutely no use for the husk, and is in fact doing better without it. The behavior is misplaced sentimentality at best. | |||
Again, if there are people who want to stay, ''that's fine''. But you need to have an end-goal for how you want to redefine the wiki, because if you keep it the same as the original goal (which the new wiki will be taking), then you are actively hurting the new wiki. There's no way around that. | |||
Personally, I would suggest rolling with the facebook-style of Oasis, and making the site into something much more akin to a fansite. The Naruto wiki's thread, which I posted way back at the beginning of this discussion, has a more detailed outline for the ideas they were considering for the "husk", and I think they would work well for you. | |||
But, again, please, ''please'' make this wiki different from the moved wiki. Keeping it the same hurts us.}} | |||
