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.

			:You realize the entirety of Bulbagarden's on its own servers, right? Meaning yes, it would be supporting the entire site, because it would be supporting the server that the entire site is on. Because that's what our problem is right now. Our servers need an upgrade because the website gets so much traffic and our current ones are strained. We've raised plenty of money for such via donation, and are only advertising so we don't have to rely on donations and our own money and the like in the future; so the website will help cover itself. We do appreciate the offer, but really, by the time Zhen gets back I'm pretty sure the situation will be under control. If you want us to move to your page so badly, wait until his return to continue this solicitation. --[[User:Pie\|Pie]] <sup>~[[User talk:Pie\|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie\|♫]]</sup> 02:41, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
