Forum:Removing old info about the wiki moving

As part of cleaning up the damage by the former administrators, we need to decide what to do with their messages relating to wanting to move the wiki to a new location. These messages would be any blog, forum, talk page or message on a user's talk page that discusses the new Wikia/Oasis skin and their dissatisfaction with it.

There are three ways to handle this:
 * Leave them as is
 * Move all the information to an archive
 * Delete them

My feeling is that we should delete them so that we can move on, but because this could be considered "revisionist history", we will get input from everyone before we make a decision. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:59, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Reasons
Between leaving them as is and moving them into an archive, creating an archive is the better choice. It preserves and consolidates the information, but moves it into a new location so that it isn't mixed in with the current information.

For deleting the messages, there are several reasons to do so:
 * The issue is done. They are established in their new location and we will continue here.
 * People occasionally go through old blogs, forums and talk pages and sometimes respond to them. This stirs things up again because they don't realize that it's a finished issue.
 * We don't need to be reminded about this. We need to put it behind us and move on.
 * All of this information is a precursor to the "Wikia is evil" mentality, which was their justification for vandalizing this wiki and other wikis.
 * Keeping the information would be a kind of shrine to vandalism.

 * 1) It is sad to see how people who were trusted to take care of this wiki changed and betrayed that trust. Because of their actions, they do not deserve to have a presence on this wiki any longer. We should delete this information. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:59, November 2, 2011 (UTC)
