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) | That was just me been immature but I removed that once I realised how pathetic it actually seemed.

That was a very annoying accident, I got 87 emails from it! Did you just keep hitting refresh or something? | |||
There are benefits and drawbacks to each approach. If you run a site on Wikia or another "wiki farm", they do all the hard work of hosting, updates, security, backups etc. If you host the website yourself, you have none of those benefits. However, on a wiki farm you can't do everything you want, such as install modifications, heavily customise the skin or configure advanced settings. Also, with a wiki farm, the farm owners (such as Wikia) can do whatever they like - they can change settings, change the skin, add adverts, impose rules and even ban you from your own site. Specifically with Wikia, we found they were adding more and more adverts and making life harder for everyday users. The final thing is that hosting a site costs money - especially a wiki which has a lot of database activity, especially if it's popular. | |||
Which wiki are you wanting to have hosted? [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] 16:53, 11 July 2011 (BST) | |||
