Armored King - Why do you loathe those who are nothing? TALK - The Dark Master 03:00, January 26, 2011 (UTC) We need to dicuss the fate of this wiki.For instance: How will the wiki be managed after the move. Who should be the new administrators after the current ones movw to the new wiki. Who will be staying andwho will be going.

Discussion

LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids? TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you. Okay, You really need to read this. The admins will stay the same, but I can predict a few new ones being made should they be needed. Almost word for word, a forum exists that answers exactly that.

Armored King - Why do you loathe those who are nothing? TALK - {{{time}}} Yes I know the wiki will become more fan based.Howver there are some who want to preserve this wiki.

They should move with the wiki, then. The wiki will be preserved, but in a different location. Otherwise, they have no one to blame but themselves. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 03:19, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

When will the wiki be moved? I'd like to know.--NinjaSheik 03:21, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

We all would... --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 03:21, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Well others will stay while others will go we should really be fair to those who are staying.--Dark Master

[facepalm] What are you talking about? It's not like it's gonna take any actual effort on their part to go to the new location. If they want to continue with this wiki in its current form and function, they can. They just have to type in a different URL. What the devil is the issue here? --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 03:26, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Now, now, no need to be upset. So, when we moved the wiki, we're just..."moving", right? We don't have to recreate the articles or anything again, do we? Sorry I'm a bit slow on things, I haven't really be tuned in lately around the forums. Never was, really.--NinjaSheik 03:29, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

maggosh ...the flint is struck. — "Maybe I should punish you after all." "Come on! Show a little backbone!" There aren't enough facepalms in the world...

TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you. *slams head against desk repeatedly* Why is it that everyone's under the impression that "fan-based" means "fanon" and thus "fan-fiction" and thus "crap"? There is already a fanon wiki, even a bloody fan-fiction wiki. Hosting fanon material like that is pointless, as there are countless wikis exactly for that purpose. The wiki won't need real preserving because we're not really going to change. We're just throwing in a more fan-based approach to the place, rather than a professional approach. Aya caramba, I might just have to make a whole forum centered around the distinct differences between "fanon" and "fan-based" if the misconception continues. <end of rant>

That's right, LadyShiek, everything, including edit histories, will all be copied over in its entirety. It already has been once, but that was a while ago, and it needs to be updated when we finally do the move. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 03:32, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

@Lego: Eh, don't get Kryten started, he'll tell you that you're wrong, and that the real problem is that people confuse "fanon" with "fanfics"... --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 03:34, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

@Neumanz: Sounds like a work, huh? But, I can't let that get me down! Moving the wiki means we lose the count of all the edits we have ever made here, huh? We'll start at 0 again, don't we? That's really depressing...I worked so hard to get the numbers of edits I have now...--NinjaSheik 03:38, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

It was my understanding the edit counts will be moved over as well. maggosh 03:38, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

REALLY!?! Are you sure?!--NinjaSheik 03:40, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
