:This is explained at the bottom of [[{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}]]. We did not want to leave a copy when we moved, but Wikia chose to keep a copy running, and there's nothing we can do about it. They changed the name (because I owned "Grand Theft Wiki"), but kept the gta.wikia.com URL (which they owned), and they promoted new staff to run it since all the staff moved here. They still get a lot of traffic (because the URL is the same as the one we used when we were there) but the quality of that site is much lower than GTW.

But does this site have any traffic of the url being the same.[[User:Nameless assasin|Nameless assasin]] ([[User talk:Nameless assasin|talk]]) 17: | But does this site have any traffic of the url being the same.[[User:Nameless assasin|Nameless assasin]] ([[User talk:Nameless assasin|talk]]) 17:40, 25 January 2012 (UTC) | ||
:Sorry? We used to use the gta.wikia.com URL - which (even now) still goes to the Wikia copy - so they get a LOT of traffic from that. Now we are using grandtheftwiki.com, not as many people know about that URL, so we don't get as much traffic as we used to. We're trying to fix that but it's a slow process. It doesn't matter too much because we prefer quality, and are not obsessed with getting money from adverts.

Random question, however, seeing that the IGWN exists would it be possible for it to make ties to NIWA? With both Networks, you could get more views. The other wiki only has more views because of google... also if I am correct there is another non-wikia Grand Theft Auto wiki in existence. I can think of another independent wiki [http://en.wikigta.org WikiGTA]. [[User:Steahl|Steahl]] ([[User talk:Steahl|talk]]) 01:07, 2 February 2012 (UTC) | |||
:Yes, we would like to make ties with other wiki ''networks'' and GTA sites. However, promoting other GTA wikis isn't really beneficial to us - as that would be diluting our members and content across multiple sites. If those sites want to join forces and merge, that's possible, but advertising each other would not work. Also, WikiGTA cannot be edited by the public, which goes against the principles we stand for here. [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 07:00, 2 February 2012 (UTC) | |||
