- Changing comments is against another policy. One more thing wrong and you will be banned. The Solar Dragon 04:39, 30 November 2011 (EST)
Ok fair enough. I thought it was pretty funny. Let's continue our conversation here, the messaging system is rather frustrating.--Jhonevans 04:41, 30 November 2011 (EST)
- Oh, you left me a message on my board. 1) It was our info in the first place. We worked long and hard on building it up. 2) I changed your edit because you are not an admin! 3) We don't have many ads because we are NOT Wikia. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 04:43, 30 November 2011 (EST)
So the same could be done to you? And I was saying Wikia doesn't have many ads at all. --Jhonevans 04:44, 30 November 2011 (EST)
- Wikia does have many ads. Have you tried editing as a logged out user? It's horrible. Ads everywhere. And the same could be done to us but you'd have to do it properly. You have to attribute us as the people who made the content by linking back to us because of our licensing. Unfortunately, the stupid admins and staff on Wikia didn't listen to my request to whitelist simpsonswiki.net so that is impossible without allowing us to take Wikia to court and getting Simpsons Wikia shut down or getting a large sum of money from Wikia. So, you can't legally steal our content.

My problem with that is the information isn't certain authors. To say you created all the previous information would be wrong. So taking all that information does not mean all the authors joined this site and it was all of your work. However I have done some research on you. You edit a fair amount. Oh yes and a side question. I've noticed on wikia certain badges are no longer active, making it difficult for me to beat your #1 status. Any reasonw hy this might have happened? --Jhonevans 04:53, 30 November 2011 (EST)
- No, not all editors moved over. Many went inactive and haven't edited since. The entire active community at the time of the split moved with us, with the exception of a couple of lesser editors who didn't edit as much. Wikia allowed us to do this. Plus, I do not know what is wrong with the badges except Wikia are stupid so the chances are, they cocked up somewhere again. Anyway, we are the better wiki by far, look at our article count and quality of articles to see that. Simpsons Wikia is a fail in comparison to us and I don't know why no one else sees that and are too stubborn to give up on a dying wiki. Solar Dragon (Talk • Contribs.) 04:56, 30 November 2011 (EST)
I know, I know. But you just stole all the information from the previous wikia. Say what you want but that was not all your work, so how was ethical (or legal) in teh first place? And don't worry, I'll get it up to standards, just give it awhile. --Jhonevans 04:59, 30 November 2011 (EST)
- It was legal. We are fully allowed to do a database dump and start on a new wiki. Wikia's license allows that. As for ethical, Wikia staff screwed us all over so we deserved to move away. Simpsons Wikia is a shit hole of crappy articles and stolen images (images stolen from and not sourced back to us). If anything, you guys are in the wrong for carrying on with the wiki on Wikia. Solar Dragon (Talk • Contribs.) 05:02, 30 November 2011 (EST)
Ok this will probably make me sound like an idiot, but I am a newbie. This skin I hear about, what does that actually change? Am I to understand that this is how the wikia used to look and operate? --Jhonevans 05:06, 30 November 2011 (EST)
- The skin you currently see is not the one Wikia used. We do have that skin choice though in your preferences. We also have a new skin too which you can also access through your preferences (called simpsons). Wikia's skin takes ages to load on some computers, is hard to navigate as an IP (no recent changes links etc.) and it is hard to find anything on it (it took me days to find the history link when I was beta testing the skin). There was a massive outrage and about 70% of the community didn't want the new skin, sparking a massive exodus from Wikia (several large wikis, including WoWWiki, the third largest wiki on Wikia, moved away). The staff banned users and removed admin rights for no reason, against the communities decisions and just simply were horrible to anyone who disagreed with the skin. They wouldn't give us the option to have Monobook or Monaco (which they removed entirely) as skin options and so many wikis moved away. I was an admin on 13 different wikis and Wikia staff used to like me. Now, I am globally blocked infinitely because staff are evil, horrible, spiteful people who didn't even give me an excuse for my global ban.
