:Personal insults are a great way to solve problems and come to an agreement. Thanks for your useful contribution to this discussion, Rodney, but I'm here to discuss a solution.

::The solution is simple: go away and quit moaning. How can you claim ownership over the name ''Grand Theft Wiki''? I mean, come on. It is undoubtedly the wittiest and most intelligent contraction of ''Grand Theft Auto'' and ''Wiki'' I have ever seen but still, not exactly original and you'd have a hard (read: impossible) time arguing trademark infringement. In a similar vein, I don't get to choose which people use the name Rodney. | |||
::As for a sitewide notice, well good luck with that. You chose to copy all the content to an external site, which is fair enough, but you knew all along that Wikia had no obligation to and was highly unlikely to let you advertise the new location. Sincerely, very best of luck with the new site and I hope it works out. But please, stop being so unreasonable about what happens to the remaining community which has decided to stay because of the way '''you''' behaved.

Since it is clear that Wikia are going to run this copy as a competitor to the legitimate Grand Theft Wiki, I have two requests. Firstly, change the site name and logo to something of Wikia's own, such as 'GTA Wikia'. That includes the pagetitle, project namespace etc. Secondly, permit a sitenotice that links to this page or similar, to allow users to know what's going on with their wiki and make their own decision about what to do. With those two reasonable requests fulfilled, my staff will leave this site alone and allow it to forge its own path as Wikia desire.
