Well not everybody is for the move and just because the current top contributors move, doesn't mean ALL potential editors will move. So imagine this scenario, the current admin team all moves, the current policy and standards committee moves and as does the current top ranking contributors who are neither admins or policy and standards committee. This creates a vacuum and given the size of the Bleach fandom, I would be surprised if others don't move into the vacuum.

Consider this, right now, there are undoubtedly editors who don't like strict rules we have in place. Who don't want to bother referencing everything they add. Who think that they can add whatever junk trivia they want. The current admin and P&S team keep them at bay. If we weren't here, these people would become "free" to start editing.

We also have people who think that we should be an "anti-spoiler" wiki, i.e. we should have no information that hasn't already been shown in the anime. Other's think we should be a manga only wiki. The current editing teams keep both these groups at bay. If the current teams leaves, whichever of these groups have the most lurking editors will move into the vacuum and take this wiki over.

Let's also not forget that we have random people pop-up from time to time with suggestions based on their experience with other wikis. Some want us to become very literal and would do away with anything that they think is "original research". Others want us to include more original research and interpretation. Again, with the current team gone, whichever of these groups have the most lurking editors (or at least the most dedicated editors) would move into the vacuum and take this wiki over.

The fact of the matter is that the wiki as it is now, has been shaped by the vision of the current editorial team. With us gone, the wiki will fall in the hands of the next batch of dedicated editors who will shape it according to how they like it.

This is because Wikia won't let us burn Bleach.wikia behind us when we leave and if the house is standing and empty, squatters will move in and if the owners never return, the squatters will become the new owners. That's what will happen to this wiki if we do move.
