::I think that we have more than a leg to stand on, both morally and legally. We did all the work to make this wikia successful. I had been an administrator here from 2006 (before the Grand Theft Wiki joined Wikia) and know more than anyone on here the state that this was in when Grand Theft Wiki moved here. The site was more or less a dead zone and was hardly edited, and the content looked poor. Legally the content of the website is under various different copyrights and the name ''Grand Theft Wiki'' is owned by Wikia. Wikia should change the name of this site back to the GTA Wikia and take down the references to Grand Theft Wiki.

::I hope, whatever happens, that the community, both registered and unregistered, continues to discover the information that they desire and more to boot, which is the reason I started editing on both the GTA Wikia and Grand Theft Wiki in 2006. I have no problem with Wikia, other than the fact that they ignore the community (as evidenced by the number of wikis who have left or are thinking about leaving) and their lack of appreciation for our efforts. The least that Wikia could have done was allow us some time to advertise the fact that the community had moved. I tried to maintain this as, after four years and over twenty thousand edits here (and many others across Wikia), I believed it was deserved for not only mine but the communities efforts to improve the wiki, which has made Wikia money. Again, I hope that the community continues to discover the information they desire and hope that these issues can be resolved. I have no interest in getting involved and just want to continue to edit, but I will be sticking with Grand Theft Wiki. [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 13:19, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

*''And are you really still trying to push the whole 'changing to a modding wiki is totally legit' thing? I mean, seriously? A modding wiki (see GTAModding.com) has a completely different focus and scope so it's really a case of apples and oranges.''
:Hey, as a prolific modder and the second most contributed editor on that site, I am very offended by you for thinking that changing this wiki into a modding wiki is not legit.--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|spaceeinstein]]''' 16:50, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
