For future reference if you want people to rally behind you for a cause, it's best not to dismiss good arguments from people who are just trying to find the best compromise. Just gonna turn them against you.
I.E this thread.

What it seems to come down to is one or the other. Balmung stays the RP hub or SE tags another server as the RP hub. Since the former is unlikely, I recommend organizing for the latter.
Which means YOU need to organize this. Other people in this thread disagree with you. Others agree with you. What it comes down to that you need to organize a like minded group to petition SE.
Others will organize how they see fit for the best of the community. There is no single answer and eventually the correct one will rise to the top. You believe that faith should be put into SE to fix the problem or find an alternative. That is fine, please go and get support for this action.
But for other people, they feel the wait for such action to take place, if it will take place, to be too much damage to the community. I feel that by neglecting new players and not giving an alternative we are doing far more damage. Balmung is a sprawling RP community, the perceived cost of promoting alternate avenues of RP is negligible.
There is not going to be a universal answer or decision for this. It is plainly obvious through this thread that you have already made your decision. You have laid out arguments in this thread for people to follow you. Now it is up to you to get people to petition and bug people. It is up to you to inspire them and give them information to back up your theory.
