It would generate competition to the advantage of both sides.  Similarly 
Wikipedia forks would help us by generating competition.  Such a fork 
may, for example, have a different interpretation of NPOV, as would be 
its right on its own site.  Readers would then be more free to draw 
their own conclusions from comparing the two sites.  Another fork could 
choose to limit its scope to certain topics, and adopt editing policies 
that are more tailored to its topics.
