Hi, Sannse! I received your reply to my question regarding the future of Roller Coaster Wiki. Thank you for the quick response, and it's good to hear from you too!

I have to admit, I was a little disappointed by the reply. You stated, "we do not close wikias when there is a fork. We prefer to leave the wikia in place, and give it a chance to revive."

I'm aware of the common procedure. One of the primary reasons I sent the support request was to, hopefully, receive an answer to "why" this must always be the case.

I know that Wikia, as an organization, has made exceptions to their standard practices on rare occasions. Uncyclopedia was exempted from the roll-out of the Oasis skin, and Memory Alpha has been allowed its unique web address apart from .wikia.com.

My point is; exceptions to the general rule have been made, and I'd like to know who is given the responsibility to decide this.
