There probably will never be just one wiki about The Simpsons. Even if everyone left today, this wiki would still be here. It's not going to be deleted. New people would find it and would start working on it. Unless Wikia/Fandom went out of business or the other wiki decided they were done and shut down, there would always be two wikis about The Simpsons.

My experience is there really hasn't been any changes that the people running a wiki couldn't adjust to. Monobook was better at backwards compatibility with older web browsers, but with more and more people using tablets and smartphones when they go to websites, it's just not necessary to keep it around any more. As for ads, I don't see many of them and the few I do see are easy to ignore. The suggested articles are based on what you look at and many of them are pretty good to read.

You asked what a good compromise would be. To be honest, it's not something I've even thought about. The admins who used to run this wiki made it clear they hated Wikia and did what they could to destroy this one after they left. Frankly, I didn't expect that to ever change so I just stopped thinking about them. Like I said, they're doing their thing, we're doing ours.

I guess if there were to be a compromise or reconciliation between the two wikis, a good first step would be for each of the former admins to apologize for attacking this wiki. Then we might be able to look at what we have in common.

That's something else that probably would never happen because when a person tried to talk to Solar Dragon about an issue that was happening on their wiki (an independent wiki and not run by Wikia) involving a former admin, he distanced himself and didn't want to be a part of it, even though he never objected to that person helping with vandalizing this wiki. So finding that person and asking they if they would consider apologizing would be difficult.

I've never held a grudge against any of them for what they did. I admit I didn't like it because to me, a lot of it was hypocritical and was being justified with "what we're doing is acceptable because Wikia is evil".

If the attitudes have mellowed and changed over the years, then that's good. Maybe it could lead to cooperation between the two wikis. But it's been seven years since they left. If nothing further came of this, it wouldn't bother me.
