Forum:Leaving Wikia

A few minutes ago at this time of writing, I got an email from ShoutWiki, wondering if we would like to convert to their side of the fence, to the land of milk, honey and most tantalisingly, Monaco. I highly doubt I'm the only admin to recieve such an offer and under this assumption, thought it best to discuss the issue here. And if for whatever reason people haven't recieved it, this is me bringing it to your attention.

For me personally, I'd actually be reluctant to make such a move. Monaco is the superior skin IMO, but what makes me uneasy is the prospect for two competing wikis. This isn't something like this wiki against Team Liquid, which foccusses on the gaming aspect, but two copies. For this, or any other wiki, I'd rather pool editing into a single source. Oasis has its downsides, but whether it's just me getting used to it, it isn't as bad as I first found it to be. It's still useable and readable, which are the important things.

Anyway, that's my take.--Hawki 10:39, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
