We're not missing the point here, Poli. Yes, this Wiki is for fans of Total Drama, but what good is it if the Wiki is unruly and disorganized in the Clubs forum?

And besides, you can't seriously believe that every single fanon pairing imaginable is important enough to have its own fanclub. As Ale-Alejandro said; there are 1758 possible fanon relationships. I mean, seriously: Duncan/LeShawna, Alejandro/Gwen, Noah/Bridgette. Those are just a few, and they all have their own fanclubs. Those don't even deserve to qualify as fanon pairings. Pairings like those are nothing more than crack pairings.

And Freehugs, constantly bringing up the whole "freedom of the users and fans" doesn't justify there being so many disorganized and unnecessary fanclubs. If we truly let all of the fans have their "freedom" to make any club they wanted, then there would be over a hundred useless fan clubs on the Wiki. I'm all for certain fanon pairings, but Jam is totally right about keeping the Wiki organized.

As a matter of fact, I went back and looked at every single club in the Clubs Forum. Out of the 87 there are, I counted 40 that (in my opinion) are really unneccesary: Among them are the three that I mentioned above, along with others like Duncan/Heather, Justin/Courtney, and so on.

I think that, if we want to really try to settle this argument, we're going to have to establish some sort of boundary between crack pairings and fanon pairings. All crack pairings are not worthy of having a fanclub, and we could have a vote or meeting of some kind to determine which fanon pairings are worthy of having a fanclub.

Again, fanon pairings that are worthy of having fanclubs are pairings that, while they're not technically official, they are often implied, referenced, or otherwise hinted at in the actual show. This would include some like the Trent/Lindsay pairing, or the Alejandro/Heather pairing. This may or may not include "Attractions," which are one-sided relationships (such as Cody/Sierra, Cody/Gwen, or Justin/Beth). And even then, we'd have to establish which of those are large enough and mentioned enough in the series to be considered canon attractions.

So, obviously, sorting this out is going to take quite a while, and there are some people who are going to try to prevent it. But ultimately, we do need to get rid of the unnecessary fan clubs and help clean up this Wiki the way it should be.
