Similar to the arguments that are brought up here, people are forgetting there were about as many people complaining about wibbles as people enjoying it back then. I don't think there'll be any change in that. I've always personally preferred the way things currently are (wibbles behind toriprime essentially) as it's fairer that those who don't want to get dragged into wibbles drama as it happens (and it will happen). I've always thought wibbles should be an opt-in deal and the way Toriprime functions is exactly that. I'm all for recreating the board or bringing the old boards back into TP/VIP, but not really too keen to have it become a standard board again.
Interesting how you tried spinning paying for wibbles as 'fairer' for the users.
I hope that's not your official decision. If so, you shouldn't enforce your minority view on the majority, man. You also shouldn't just discount the votes of everybody who voted for wibbles to come back because they're only just being 'ignorant' and 'nostalgic'.

Just voicing my opinion, not sure why that has raised your hackles.
Regarding what is fairest for users, if you had read my post you'd have seen that what I believe is fairest is making wibbles opt-in and not forum default. TP/VIP just has the framework for that which I think best suits wibbles, whether or not it's paid for, won in an event, or bought by some other alternative to real world currency (if that's open to happen - not sure if it is). Also, just because I believe your poll results and a lot of this discussion is based upon nostalgia and people wanting what they never had doesn't mean I'm discrediting the results. I just think it's important to consider why people vote and why they don't.

But...where am I going to spam my dankest of memes for everyone to see?
Seriously though, the majority of official clans have a wibbles thread or something similiar, where they shitpost as much as their hearts desire. I don't see how the logic of "We had to remove Wibbles because the cancerous behaviour started spreading to other boards" is still applicable, since a lot of people shitpost in their own clan boards without any regulation(don't take that away I'll hang myself). You may as well just make one giant dump where everyone shitposts instead.

Like I said, the opt-in is what is fairer, no matter how you do it. Toriprime is the only board in the community that users can currently opt-in to, there's no other parallel to draw currently.
The whole Buzzfeed style reply over standard reading comprehension is starting to get old. Wouldn't surprise me if people don't want to voice their opinions that stand against yours if all you're going to do is extrapolate them into something else entirely.
