Let me know if you'd like to join Wikia. Of course, the wiki would remain community owned and run.

:It bothers me a little that you're advertising Wikia as a "spam-free site" when this is essentially spam you're posting here. Anyway, I'm bringing your offer to the attention of other Bulbapedia staff, but offhand, I wouldn't get any hopes up. I'm pretty sure most of us know about Wikia, and if our editorial board - particularly Zhen - was interested in having a wiki on Wikia, it would have already been started there. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] <sup>~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]]</sup> 05:35, 19 July 2007 (UTC) | :It bothers me a little that you're advertising Wikia as a "spam-free site" when this is essentially spam you're posting here.

::I'm sorry if you saw my message as "spam". I was simply offering an alternative to this community since you're having financial problems that we can help with. [http://www.wikia.com/wiki/User:Angela Angela] 19:37, 22 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
On a related subject, having advertisements on the sidebar would be much better looking then having it right across the top of the page... I hate to keep using the same example, but what we've got on [http://gw.gamewikis.org GuildWiki] works quite well. Fits the page perfectly, doesn't disrupt the page with a glaring ad right across the top, and so on. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>'''</font>]] 03:55, 19 July 2007 (UTC) | On a related subject, having advertisements on the sidebar would be much better looking then having it right across the top of the page...

Pie wrote "if we use the ads to add to our funds for the server, it would actually help support not only us, but Bulbanews, the Archives, the forums, etc." I don't think that's true. The money you would make from advertising on this wiki might not even cover the hosting costs of the wiki, and would be unlikely to leave Zhen with enough to put towards the other parts of the site. However, if you join Wikia, the revenue from the advertising could go towards Bulbanews and the other parts of the site and the wiki would be hosted completely for free.
