 * 1) Custom champions and blogs are labeled separately, and so do not take up the same space. Admittedly, there are frequent labeling problems, but proper CCC etiquette has always been poorly indicated on this wiki.
 * 2) There is poor quality control across the entirety of the blog space, and not just CCCs. Blogs here are deleted and moderated inconsistently, and there is generally little that can be done to improve a blog once it's been launched (unlike CCCs, which can be revised).
 * 3) The "average blog" doesn't typically bring up that much discussion either. Most blogs tend to be the creator venting about something that annoys them in League, your average League meme thread (e.g. "what champion would you be"/"this champion is your roommate"/"which faction would you choose", etc.), or a suggestion for a rework that might as well be labeled under a custom champion post.
 * 4) The fact that there are more CCC posts than articles in the mainspace does not mean CCCs are a bad thing, nor would shipping those posts to another wiki bring about any positive change to the mainspace.
 * 5) While there is definitely a community of users who focus exclusively on CCCs and don't contribute to the mainspace, putting CCCs on another wiki would just inconvenience those who do actually contribute to the wiki as well as engage in CCCs. In the worst case, such a move might actually cause mainspace activity to worsen, since it would just drive away CCC-focused users who also happen to edit on the wiki.
 * 6) It's debatable as to how effective such a move would be, since people will inevitably want to discuss their own ideas and concepts here. If the rules for banning CCCs entirely are enforced in the same way as the rules for creating CCCs, then we'd still end up with a heap of custom champion posts.

I think the issue with CCCs isn't that they exist, but rather that the wiki is doing absolutely nothing to help users, particularly new users, with the implentation of custom champion concepts, which is why I think there are so many half-baked, mislabeled concepts that use broken templates, and sometimes don't use templates at all. I've seen veteran users here struggle with the use of champion-related templates on their posts, and as a CCC aficionado myself, I sometimes forget to go through the process of relabeling my posts after releasing them. There needs to be a proper, visible guide to creating CCCs, with adequate template documentation and user guidelines.
