Personaly, considering I am a fairly new user here, I se no problem with a wipe if it accompanied by a wiki. However, I hate to se all the excelent information here lost. After all, this is the place that inspired me to start my own (rather feeble!) career as a mapmaker.
The one thing I have been missing is a clear and structured FAQ. There is loads of information, but it is not condensed into a format that is easy to use/view. A wiki that covers the basics (and eventualy the more advanced) would be amazing. The problem is, it requires a rather large effort on the behalf of those who have the experience with mapmaking. Id say its worth it, and I will add whatever knowledge I can to help complete it.
In many ways, it would be the best way to go. A lot of posts here deal with similar topics. If we could merge everything into a wiki, the gains would far outweight the drawbacks (save the nostalgia ofc
). So yes, im all for a wipe+wiki.
