Meh, there's no real reason not to move to Wikia, Gwiki has done it and it works fine. And I found this like funny: For me it has been very exiting years. --Guild of Deals talk 06:43, 17 February 2009 (EST)

He can't afford it. He. Can't. Afford. It. I have a question, however. Will the Bcrats and current sysops stay the same? As well as buildmasters? 06:44, 17 February 2009

why would that change?--Relyk 06:47, 17 February 2009 (EST)

Eww, this interface is just perfect, wikia's isn't.--—The preceding trolling attempt was made by Chaos (talk) . 06:49, 17 February 2009 (EST)

New owners electing new leaders? 06:49, 17 February 2009

It's all for funding purposes, so I for one would like to thank Gcard (and hhhipppo) for all the work and money they have put in to the wiki, I doubt anyone would put there hard earned cash into this so you guys have done a tremendous job. Looking forward to a bright future. Frosty po! 06:49, 17 February 2009 (EST)

I agree. Thank you guys for giving me a website to waste hours of my life on. :D 06:51, 17 February 2009

^ive wasted more hours than you btw--Relyk 06:52, 17 February 2009 (EST)

pfft. I used to fall asleep at my PC reading pvx. I'm Pvx-seasoned. 06:54, 17 February 2009

Hi. I'm Angela from Wikia. I'm looking forward to being able to welcome you to our community.

The admins and bureaucrats won't change - and choosing admins will remain something that the community does - it's not something Wikia will be involved in.

The interface is quite editable in terms of design, colors, etc. Have a look at Lostpedia or Wookieepedia for some examples of what can be done.

Hello Angela, after looking here I can only say this looks like a good move, I was glad to see we could change the skin of the website to fit our current one (so the speak) and look forward to being part of the wikia empire, although I have a strong feeling my name will collide with someone elses, because it is pretty generic ;o Frosty po! 06:55, 17 February 2009 (EST)

Is this Frosty you? Angela 07:25, 17 February 2009 (EST)

Moving Build Pages

When the move happens, can we omit the Build namespace? If we're moving to a new place it's a prime opportunity to filter out all the crap that's built up over the years. Many builds are out of date and no one can be bothered to update and vote wipe the older ones. - 06:58, 17 February 2009 (EST)

Omitting it would result is 239486946 of builds needing to be re made (most of which I will end up doing), I think a good idea would be to omit the other section of builds (and leave it like that yay no more other section) and possibly omit the testing, trial and stub section because there is much crap in these sections, and it's not like many vettable builds are there anyway Frosty po! 07:01, 17 February 2009 (EST)

I don't have anything better to do till college starts back up. Add me on MSN and we can go over what we can do. 07:02, 17 February 2009

No, omitting it would hopefully result in only like 100 builds needing to be "remade" (read: copy-pasted). The only thing we should have auto-moved would maybe be the archived category. If we're going to get a fresh site, then let's try not to fuck it up with 700 Sanctum Cay runners and let's try to get some of the GvG, HA, etc guides written up properly. - 07:05, 17 February 2009 (EST)

no-one should move any pages over (even by coy paste). If the move goes ahead, we can export and import pages (i assume), which keeps page histories in tact (so we avoid any copyright issue). ~ PheNaxKian Sysop 07:12, 17 February 2009 (EST)
