 Which wiki are you wanting to have hosted? [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] 16:53, 11 July 2011 (BST)
+:You need to have the support of (most of) the community and staff. If you just take a copy of the site and try to run it on your own as a competitor to the main site, you won't have a chance. This isn't about one staff member or one person being in charge or doing what they want; it's about the community having the best site for all/most of them to go to. If they don't want to move, then taking a copy is just going to hurt them and waste your own time.
+:If you want the site to move, don't just say you're "stating your humble opinion" - that will persuade nobody. Don't go in and just moan about problems, nobody will care. You have do the hard work and come up with a ''solution''. If you go in and say ''"because of this, I think we should move. I have considered these options, and everyone's different point of view, but I recommend X because of XYZ"'' then people are much more likely to respect your suggestion and it'll be much more attractive for them. Just saying "ugh monaco is horrible, we should move" will inspire nobody.
+:Also, you should suggest that they join [[igwn:|igwn:]] - this is an upcoming network of independent gaming wikis (including GTW and Halopedia), which will help solve many of the problems of moving away from Wikia. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] 19:23, 12 July 2011 (BST)
