Not at all! Actually, I'm quite surprised that you even left a message. Most of whoever is left here didn't even bother expressing their views and ignored the blogs we posted. But then they have decency to complain as if they didn't know this was coming when they had 3 to 4 months to express their opinions (however if they were new to the site then I can understand).

We're basically doing this to make use of this place once again. Barely anyone still uses this place (and often it's because they don't even know the place even moved in the first place) and it's just become a haven for the trolls to take over (even with page protection). We've also had issues of people copying and pasting the info from the SW location and some of the editors were not happy about it. If we had our way, we would scrap everything and start from scratch once again but we're not allowed to do that (even though I've stated numerous times that I never left the site in the first place) so we've been trying to find alternatives to make use of this of place. So we thought this was the best route because most of the content would be left untouched.

The restructuring did mean we would lose the character and episode pages but I do think it's the best. Users still get the basic info on all the characters rather than no info at all and it will cut the troll population significantly since these pages were often (if not always) the prime target. I know this was done suddenly (especially if you're new) but this discussion has been open since March and we can't wait any longer especially if no one is going to contribute any of their opinions. :C We're not exactly mind-readers (though I wish!)

Just a random note, it's actually the other way around. Wikipedia copied it from us. (seen here). Those character and episode lists didn't exist when the wiki was created back in 2009.

I hope this helps a bit. I'm sorry that this is very tl;dr...
