In fishy's eyes even saving it away and replacing the world with a fresh map would be similar to griefing. Those who came back to the server after a while away would be lost and confused, seeing all their work gone, the ranks changed, and most if not all of their friends inactive. If we save the world away like you say, they'll have no access to it and even though it's safe from griefing, it'd be safe from their owner as well.
While starting fresh does have its appeal, all of the work on completing builds before and current projects in main world would, at the very least, seem futile. Owners of the builds/resources that didn't transfer their belongings would lose all of that mining/trading as well as their builds/homes. Let us remember that we are deciding for those who don't use the forums as well. I'm not sure the opinions of those people, but we should at least check before taking all their progress away from them.
The less "ugly" builds would be left inaccessible by our members to enjoy in game and would make the process of reviewing builds for "architect" an absolute dread compared to the simple tedious critique it is now. I know architect rank is simply vanity now, but some members are striving for it and building their way up to it (or getting frustrated with it).
If we keep the world and simply make it a secondary world like AW or planetoids, it'd still take up the space when backing up, keeping the 15 minute backups long and simply being a hassle to tinker around with all of the world files.
This idea has come up before and was shot down for similar reasons to the ones above, I am simply reminding you of a few that continue to hold true. In the end, adding a new world with the same rules/commands as main world would be easier, though it would still draw on more attention from fishy's computer and require longer backup time. All decisions for progress have negatives.

Those who fight for justice must walk a narrow path, for those who complain about the injustice of the world usually end up being the ones committing those injustices later on.
