I heavily considered this, but decided against it for 1 VERY big reason. Without the organization DPLforums and Forums have, an application can very easily get lost.

Discussions displays the most replied to things and newest things first, and there's no way for us to prioritize things. So someone could declare and no-one would even know, or someone could be beaten running for 1 spot simply because a bunch of people decided to post pictures of Yandere-chan and buried their application.

In-fact, the latter example I gave could be used maliciously. UserA could declare, keep their own application active, and bury UserB with a bunch of intentionally done random posts.

I cannot support allowing it when it's possible to maliciously sabotage another candidate's application.

Perhaps we can revisit allowing it if Wikia improves organization, but for now it's a hard no from me.
