- There's a bunch of reasons! The ones I can think of right now are:
- Developed primarily for gaming communities
- NIWA and several other NIWA wikis already use it
- No advertisements
- More control over a server with user roles, channels, bots, etc.
- So far, I think the switch was a good one. ~SuperHamster Talk 00:58, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
