:Firstly, you would need to get support of the community for the wiki to be moved. If it was just a couple of users, then the "fork" would not be successful; and if the community wasn't behind it, I couldn't support it. If you make it sound like you want to copy the site or make your own or become an admin or anything, people will reject your proposal. If you simply suggest that it be moved, and give them lots of real reasons why, and show examples of other wikis that have done it, then I'm sure they'll understand and possibly agree to move. If you'd like some help with those proposals, I give you the various options that exist. If the staff are behind it, then we can all discuss the various options and work out a plan. Bear in mind that Wikia will NOT close the other site, they will keep the domain/URL, they will remove any links to the new site, they will ban any user that adds links to the new site, and they will compete against the moved site. As I founded GTW ''before'' it moved ''to'' wikia, we have a little more influence but still they are not playing fair. It won't be easy, but I think it's worth it.

That was just me been immature but I removed that once I realised how pathetic it actually seemed. Anyway, I apologize about the way I spoke to you earlier but that was frustration more than anything, there have been a lot of users doing what you did and Wikia don't allow it so it gets kind of annoying having to constantly remove it all. 19:35, 10 July 2011 (BST) | |||
