@Mevans:

Your view and opinion matter most to all of us, so, yes, they're worth quite a lot. Thanks for responding. Moreover, you are the one who we expect to make or at least endorse the decision on this.

I also feel the risk of further diffusion of attention is quite high and should be seriously taken into account. The community and its momentum are crucial for the succesful continuation of the mod's development as its size and the value of its feedback play an important role to the feeling of satisfaction of Mevans and the mod team. I have this gut feeling that we seriously have to guard some critical mass here and that the major trends are unfavorable, which should urge the community to ensure people stick around. The more scattered the communication on the mod and the vast possibilities it offers, the less focussed the community and the lower the average input by the community, and the greater the risk of people not finding what they're looking for, or not hitting aspects they enjoy most.

One may even start to question whether the banishment of 'major builds sharing' and 'mod derived roleplay' from this wiki would still be sensible decisions in the current situation. I don't say they're not, but just playing devil's advocate here.
