I have nothing against you, and I haven't looked into your personal history to know the details of your promotion. Also, it wasn't "not liking the skin" that made us leave Wikia, it was a huge range of issues from the horrendous advertising (which you don't see as a logged-in administrator), to completely ignoring the HUGE range of opinion regarding the new skin, to the complete disregard of users that was emerging. I am still very glad we left, and I know many sites that want to, but Wikia's policy of demoting and banning users/staff of moved sites whilst continuing to run the sites makes it a very tough choice. I really don't see why someone would want to support Wikia, when the vast majority of users that wrote the content for the site, and all the staff that made it the awesome site it is, moved the site here. I don't get why you seem to think that Wikia is in the right to do what they do. It's not a case of having a tantrum cos we don't like the new skin - it's OUR site, and we moved it.

:I hold my opinions for well-founded reasons. Policies like "Competence is required" are brutal and completely against the spirit of ''this'' wiki (and it is NOT a wikipedia policy, just a [[wp:Competence is required|suggestion]]). And your staff defended each other even when they were breaking the law and when one was sacked by Wikia. Personally, you seem very sensible, so I still have no idea why you associate yourself with such a negative wiki. As for Greg, whilst he seems to have got into a dispute on Wikia, I have no quarrel with him. Unlike gta.wikias staff, I ''do'' assume good faith and give people the chance to improve. In the specific instance with Sex Club 7 and other things, the staff were rude, refused to listen to a user who genuinely wanted to help, and that is what ''made'' him get upset and turn abusive. Here, none of our staff ''ever'' yell at users or call them idiots, and none of them are rude to us. That speaks volumes, I think.
