Just to get a few issues out of the way, there are a few issues that still need to be resolved regarding NBW besides content. like what GG said, one big issue is staff/promotions as most users are not mature enough to run the wiki. Promotions are honestly given out just like candy. No offense NSA, but you didn't make the best decisions regarding promotions either and seeing that RNN is a bureaucrat, that's discouraging me from helping a lot. This does discourage giving NSA bureaucrat powers...


 * i know NBW has more off-brand than both DBE and Nerf, if it didn't then i would be greatly worried as you guys were technically "responsible" for off-brand. NSA, you don't need to apologize for that; its fine. Though i do want to point out that when i was doing research; i managed to get more information regarding off-brand from sources outside NBW. that's just something to consider in the final decision just like how long each wiki has been worked on so far (a couple of years compared to a relatively new one). all of that needs to be considered along with the strength/weakness of each wiki.


 * If the community wants to give NBW another chance now is the time to decide. again its you guy's choice whether or not to give another chance. if we do, no one's going to want to wait like 3 months for NBW to undergo and finish a major revamp when we can possibly start over fresh.

With all that said, here is the current vote. the vote is based on splitting off-brand off to another location. it seems displaying the vote may help discussion a bit.

SUPPORT
 * Nerfmaster8: for the benefit of this community and NIC, i don't see 1 wiki working from any viewpoint
 * Retaliatorsrock123

MIDDLE GROUND OPPOSE
 * NStrikeAgent335: still hesitant, understands what's at stake/willing to take action
 * THE MAGSTRIKE GUY: still hesitant, liking idea of split, unsure about location change
 * ThrowManyDarts: resolve bias issue - naming
 * Nerfking77: worried about loss of hard work/content
 * JetCell: rather have 1 wiki, willing to discuss splitting into 2 wikis.
 * GameGear360: for the most part, understands what is going on, prefers everything on 1 wiki but is willing to negotiate

OPINION ONLY
 * REALNerfNinja6
 * NerfKing87: close DBE without reason
 * NerfCommanderChris: don't close NBW

Since some users are confused; this discussion involves NBW and DBE, not NEW and definitely does NOT INVOLVE Nerf Wiki! splitting in the end wouldn't change much since NBW has as accurate information as you can get so far considering its the only one with useful content regarding off-brand. Nerf has errors, no idea where Jet got the information from regarding BBT - AB/AW is a mess. Those those that would suggest Nerf Wiki being closed, I don't know what to tell you; that doesn't have a snowball's chance. NEW is essentially a minor fork of Nerf Wiki, don't bother wasting our time suggesting that be a location; It doesn't involve Off-Brand and should not even be considered as a candidate. Those that suggest either NBW or DBE be closed, please provide valid points - you can reference GG's detailed review; don't just say it without anything to back it up with. that is unhelpful, increases deadlock time and may hurt feelings both ways. GG's review seems fair towards both and notes flaws/strengths of each wiki, the thing that the community needs to figure out is which is a more suitable location for a split if that is decided.
