OH GOD!!!! I WAS HOPING TO NEVER SEE ONE OF THESE HERE, BUT IT SEEMS I AM TOO LATE.
There are many wiki hosts I would use over Wikia, that is, all of them. They are, in my opinion the worst host around and any wiki that wants to stay on Wikia must have complete morons as editors and therefore deserves to be destroyed too.
Overreacting much? I am offended by such words, being an active Wikia contributor myself, and in fact a bureaucrat on one of the wikis I edit at. Maybe we can't pay for a new host, since, ya know, they cost money? Ever think of that? Wikia is free. That's why there are many wikis on it.
Did you ever think that people on wikia have feelings too? Did you know that Kirby Wikia and Wikirby are basically allies/on good terms? Wanting to destroy them is completely stupid and very pointless. You will be fighting a war you cannot, and will never, win.
I will do anything within my power to bring Wikia down and am looking for help with this. Please PM me if you want to help my cause.
Oh yes, because you will be able to take down Wikia, a large company that has millions and has control of over 10,000+different wikis, with the probably 10 people that respond. Good luck with that! You will be needing truckloads of luck!
All in all:
lolumad
The thing about NIWA that disgusted me the most was its anti-Wikia perception. If this crap is coming back, I don't think I want to be part of this bureaucracy.
Also, Tina basically summed up all of my opinions. All of them! The staff sucks, yes. The default skin is the worst idea, yes, but you can change it to fit your wiki.
There are many good Wikias, and hell, some of them are way better than their wiki counterparts (i.e. more information, more activity, etc…)
