As for images, when we moved from Wikia, we couldn't copy every single image across. Most of them should work, but some of them won't. If you find an image that should be here, find it on Wikia, save the FULL version of it (not the thumbnail or preview version), and upload it here with its original name (make sure it doesnt start with a size like 800px-filename.jpg). Instructions are [[User talk:Alexkl5|here]] and [[User talk:Kanzler31|here]].

We have no control over that wiki. Once we moved, Wikia decided to keep a copy and to ban GTW staff from it. There is nothing we can legitimately do with that site. | |||
The main issue is that everyone is used to going to "gta.wikia.com" instead of "grandtheftwiki.com" - so most people, and most links, end up going to that site. Even though this one is a lot better, people just end up there. We need to do two things: | |||
#Convince people who go to wikia to come here instead | |||
#Get as many sites to link to GTW as possible | |||
If you can help do those, that would be great (: If you want to do things to Wikia, such as add links to GTW, that's your choice; but Wikia will just ban anyone who does it. | |||
One problem today is that our site was down for a few hours, which meant people couldn't edit. That was just a one-off mistake and won't happen again. Our activity is usually a bit more than this. | |||
But finally, statistics are not my priority. I want an awesome site that everyone here loves to use and edit. The more people that can enjoy that, the better. It is sad and frustrating to see Wikia stealing all our hard work, though. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] 23:26, 2 May 2011 (BST) | |||
