Wikia

Further to previous discussions about merging Grand Theft Wiki with en.gta.wiki.com, staff at Wikia have suggested the possibility of Wikia purchasing Grand Theft Wiki. This would mean that Wikia owns Grand Theft Wiki, and all our members would be merged into their central database. We would keep the domain name GrandTheftWiki.com, and keep the same content and structure and policies. The content and images of en.gta.wikia.com would be merged into this wiki. I'm wondering if the community here have any thoughts? Xenon (?) 16:52, 27 July 2007 (BST)

I like the idea Xenon, WikiaGTA has a lot of good content on there site that would be good for here aswell... Plus... *Cough*You get cash out of this*Cough*. George 16:59, 27 July 2007 (BST)
