I stress that the community decided to move, this was done by consensus not just staff deciding. That is how we run this wiki, and Wikia could not accept that. Hope that answers your question! [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] 00:21, 18 October 2010 (BST)

:I agree with you entirely! Wikia are just the hosts, not the owners or leaders of the wikis. If they don't like the wiki, they should be able to stop hosting it, but they should not be able to interfere. I have always held the values that this wiki is community run, and we should always take the community's opinion into account. The decision to move was made by the community, not staff. I wish Wikia would do the same, but they refused, so we were forced to move. As for wiki activity, we have [{Special:RecentChanges|Recent Edits]]? I can try to get MyHome added if you think lots of users need it. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] 00:46, 18 October 2010 (BST)

No, we're not deleting any pages. One admin who has stayed behind was trying to turn it into a modding wiki, so was deleting pages that were completely irrelevant (like the names of all the inactive shop fronts). But Wikia didn't like that idea, so they've stopped that too. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] 01:27, 18 October 2010 (BST)
