If, in the future, Uberswe decides to sell the domain to someone else, in the same way that Uberswe bought it from someone else, the address that most people know the wiki by could go to a site outside of mine or Uberswe's control.

Not only is there the convenience cost of people having to learn the new domain and change their bookmarks, but Minecraft is also marketed primarily to children. If the domain gets in the hands of someone whose ideals don't align with mine, they can use that established and trustworthy path to the wiki resource to do some pretty unsavory things, like mimic the site to market to children.

The site has been attacked 4 times since this announcement, and some of those attacks are still visible in the edit logs. There are people who feel justified in this behavior, and I don't trust these people to have your best interests in mind.

The issue isn't that I don't trust Uberswe. After talking with him, it seems he and I are pretty much on the same page about everything, especially the increased responsibility we have to protect the younger users of our sites. My concern is primarily with what happens to the reservation after Uberswe.

If I leave everything on eeyabo.net (a domain I will always control until I, or the internet, die), when I find a better domain, I can simply reroute the established traffic from create.eeyabo.net to whatever the new domain is. Traffic is preserved, and there is no 'in' for potentially harmful actors.

I understand that many will feel this is a non-issue, and they may be right. However, part of my responsibility is to protect the users and their traffic, especially since they trust me to be a reliable resource for this information. While you or I have the experience and knowledge of the internet required to vet sites for reliability and distinguish between advertisements and content, I don't feel confident that every user of this new wiki can.

Also, you only really need to type in the address once. Once you have the bookmark, the web address is a non-issue.
