Bird,

I believe you have already made up your mind and are just looking for whether this thought process is the correct one. It absolutely is! Everything you stated is spot on. I would move to the other forum once 23 comes out and you are able to upgrade to that AND start a new season. Start fresh. I don't know how long you want to wait (how many patches in) before you make the move to 23, but I definitely wouldn't get into a rush.

Your "humble little vanilla fictional save" that you resist calling a "dynasty" is FAR from vanilla and is definitely a dynasty. In the WPK you have created so much depth and breadth, detail and longevity. Those features and qualities are the definition of an "elaborate, creative and long-standing dynasty". The WPK is an excellent dynasty, definitely portrayed in a different format than others for the most part. Which is a great thing because variation is the spice that pleases. So please accept and embrace what you have created. If you wish to be humble about it so be it, but call it what it is!

You should not feel compelled to keep a subfolder alive that will be there whether you are there or not. Others will continue to post there if they wish or not and and new dynasty posters may join them in the future if they choose. Whether you post in the Fictional Simulations folder or not it will remain there, unless for some reason the powers that be decide to make a change, and that could be for many reasons.

As far as all the WPK threads being scattered, I wouldn't be worried about that. They are all organized in your signature section so if someone finds the most recent version of WPK in the Dynasty reports subfolder and they want to find the beginning or any/all of them, they can search for your profile and get them.

I hope this helps you.

Have a Great night!
