:: You have a lot of good points, and I know that NOTHING I say really matters (I'm, at best, clarifying things...probably not even that). And, actually, I was going to suggest Wikia myself (to Zhen when he got back), just as a way to maybe unload some of the burden from the server (merely throwing an idea out there. Do or do not, doesn't matter, just an idea). Personally, I don't know all of the details that came up when the MDP went to Wikia (though we merged with the existing Marvel Wiki, not losing anything in the move), but in the (apparently) highly unlikely event that the staff of Bulbapedia is interested (when Zhen gets back), I could always point him (or whoever) to the owner of the MDP as someone who's been in the same position. Obviously, I have nothing to gain from this, I would just want to make sure all of the facts are known and, ultimately, I just want to do what I can to help the Bulbaverse. Good idea or bad, I only intend to offer help. -- [[User:GrnMarvl13|GrnMarvl13]] 01:07, 20 July 2007 (UTC) | :: You have a lot of good points, and I know that NOTHING I say really matters (I'm, at best, clarifying things...probably not even that).

:::Hello Bulbapedia administrators! | |||
:::For those who don't know me, I am the Editor-in-Chief of the [http://en.marveldatabase.com Marvel Database]. | |||
:::I wanted to offer myself as a point of contact if anyone has any questions about how our move to Wikia went. | |||
:::Prior to our conversion, we had no ties nor affiliations with Wikia. They approached us to help us alleviate server loads and costs. | |||
:::We also did not have ads at the time, and were somewhat resistant to the idea. | |||
:::Further, we also have our own [http://news.marveldatabase.com news site] and [http://forums.marveldatabase.com forums] too. We didn't have to give those up at all. | |||
:::In fact, those I still host myself. | |||
:::I cannot speak for Wikia, but in my opinion they are fairly flexible and you certainly have lots of room to negotiate mutually agreeable terms. | |||
:::As for the benefits, our projects are MORE intimately integrated than they were before! | |||
:::We were growing at a decent rate as well, but since moving to Wikia, we have noticed a boost for sure. I would certainly never turn down free traffic! | |||
:::Pie has some good points indeed. There are a lot of factors to consider, but if you have any questions, please feel free to email me at marveldatabase.com (jamie@). | |||
:::Love the site, keep it up! | |||
