This sounds like a mistake.

I disagree. Time will tell. We'll adjust as need be.

... then got greedy.

I think keeping freecanads.win is a selfish move that won't be good long-term.

I'm genuinely curious. How do you figure?

Freecanada.win only grows because of this community.

While much of our community is the result of the WIN network, it isn't exclusively from the WIN network. We've had a few bumps of members from a few other places, as well.

It seems like you're getting good growth now because of the election but after, the community will fade and if OmegaCanada dies, there won't be people posting in other communities to join freecanada.win. It'll start to die too.

Maybe. Again, we'll see how it comes, and take it from there.

You should reconsider and come back.

No option is off the table.

Well, aside from Reddit, of course.

At the end of the day, the most important thing are the people voicing their thoughts and sharing important news.

Partially agreed.

What you fail to recognize in what we have in the community vibe, way better than what was/is at Omega. And that's not just because of a lack of Ham (though it certainly helps).

Part of forum structure helps build a certain familiarity. A recent newcomer has quickly picked up on this, and said so much here, for example.

If anything, the way they handled Ham should reflect good on you. You know your community won't be taken from you by the admins and you have full control over the community as if it were separate and your own.

That doesn't reflect good or bad on us.

That aside, you do have a solid point here.
