A tldr is that the other server, tied to a sub section of a certain other website, is ran by a group of people who run several other servers, ranging in size from dead servers w a couple hundred inactive members, to partnered servers with thousands of members, and really nothing in between. We didn't care for how overly strict and restrictive their rules were, or the way they wanted to re-do our channel layout into their cookie-cutter format meant for much larger servers. Additionally, they wanted all three of their mods to have administrative permissions, vs the two of us w admin perms and two mods originally in the server, and they were not happy with any sort of compromise or even having one with admin perms and the rest without. (i.e. we feared a full a takeover of power, or otherwise having our server be griefed and or destroyed by people we barely knew. Honestly, I talked to the owners and some mods/former mods of a couple other servers, as well as members of my server, and everyone agreed that giving all three mod positions was considered generous in of itself.) They also carried with them a really high and mighty ego that was obviously not based on being fans of the series or the fandom, and rather seemed to only care about owning the most and the largest servers and sub sections of this other site.

We felt that it would be too detrimental to the community that we have grown, and that it was just not worth it when the only real gain would have been our link in a more prominent place online, and a quick influx of new members. (Whichn honestly, we have said link elsewhere and have done just fine with gaining new members.)
