Explain the "bad" please? So far, the only problems I see are POSSIBLY some difficultys implementing. Thank you, btw, for explaining your reasons. Sorry if I sounded dickish, BTW.
 * 1) This will piss off writers trying to to get their content on here.
 * 2) It'd take time to get a staff for the new site.
 * 3) Some people would get mad about how they never get on to the main site.
 * 4) Just an overall hassle in general.
 * 5) Getting rid of OC seems counter-productive.

1. People ALREADY get pissed off when their stories are deleted, so no change there.

2. That is a real problem, especially since Agner left, who owns the wikia.

3. Seems like the same issue as one. Also, possibly would be incentive to improve

4. Transisitions are always hard. We have to be willing to do something difficult, if it would improve the site.

5. OC is not removed. All of OC goes on Chaospasta, then is voted on here. There will still be OC on CP, but only what wins the 5PoTM, so that means generally above average content is uploaded to Creepypasta wikia. This seems to be a major confusion. Nothing needs to be done with the OC tag, either. It will still be applied to current OC pastas, and any winners on CHP. The OC tag is already gone. We were rid of it when we rid of the User Submissions. It was a useless category. As far 3, no, it wouldn't. Have you seen how many flounce posts there are just because someone has their story deleted or ends up taking criticism on their story? Numbers. They wouldn't take it as incentive if we make the process harder.

Plus, you seem to forget. No one likes a complex process, particularly on something that is supposed to be simple. This would be a complex process.

Not to mention, again, this is useless as it's own wiki. All you're doing is lessening the number of pages that come on site. That does little to help us.
