Move
Why don't you move to the more successful wiki then? 18:00, August 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * People have been coming here from that wiki numerous times during the past ten months, vandalizing and attempting to destroy this place. Some of those people include administrators on that wiki, who also used to be administrators here. People who were entrusted to care for and protect this wiki, who have broken that trust. If your definition of a successful wiki is a place that condones and encourages vandalism, then we are better off having nothing to do with it. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 01:45, August 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, i understand. I'll stop vandalising even if i know it wont make you move. 07:01, August 5, 2011


 * Your invitations were not vandalism, but as you can see, were not really welcome. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:31, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

"Stolen" content
We do not tolerate our content being stolen, as was the case when Wikia kept this wiki open. That is why we attack it. We made the content and we don't want to see another wiki claim it as their own.

Since our move, we have made a few more thousand articles. I would like to see you helping us as you are a good user from what I have seen. Wikia does not deserve you. There is a much better wiki out there with more detail, more dedicated users, a better skin, better system, better administrators, better staff, better quality articles, better everything! You would only help us improve even more. The more articles we make there, the more activity we will get and the less you will get. Eventually, we will overtake you in Google rankings. You might as well join us. We want you to join us. You are a good user.

Please consider moving to us. Believe it or not, we are a lot nicer than Wikia. My "cold, hard, evil" act I put on it that, an act. I need Wikia to suffer for what they did to us. They removed by admin rights for no reason whatsoever. I hadn't done anything wrong. Their excuse was that they couldn't trust me. When asking them for proof of what I had done wrong, I was blocked. They are the evil corrupt people, not the Wikisimpsons admins and users.

Many people share my views. We want Wikia to suffer and if that means attacking individual wikis, so be it. You are fighting a lost cause here. Simpsons Wikia will suffer because there is a much better wiki out there. One that is superior in every way except viewers at the moment but that is going up.

Please consider moving to us, the better wiki, the one that actually values its users instead of using them to make money. Wikia do not care about communities. They care about money.

Sorry for the rant. I just need you to see what Wikia is really like. The cesspit of Hell. The most horrible place in the Underworld. MaterOverlord 11:57, August 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I can understand some of the feelings. Yes, you and everyone else created the information here and you want to keep that feeling of ownership. However, as per the licensing, which has not changed since September 4, 2009, "all users contributing to Wikia projects agree to grant broad permissions to the general public to re-distribute and re-use their contributions freely for any purpose including commercial use". So while you helped build it, it is not yours exclusively.


 * A lot of what you said can be summed up as you feel your new site is a morally better place to be than Wikia. What I see is this:
 * Up until September 2010, Wikia was a good company that you and the rest of the group had no problem associating with, using the services that Wikia provides for free, and you did so for five years.
 * In October 2010, Wikia put a new skin in place (and a few other things, but mostly the skin) that you didn't agree with. In one month, your view of them changed to seeing them as "evil".
 * You could have decided to concentrate on making your new wiki a better place that people would naturally want to come to, rather than this one. That would have been the sensible and honorable thing to do.
 * You didn't do that. You decided to take the ball and go home, then got mad when you were told that it wasn't your ball alone. So you decided to engage in petty acts of revenge, using the same tactics to harm this wiki that you did not tollerate here as admins, and still do not tollerate on the new wiki, as evidenced by the block log there.


 * My advice is for you to stop being hypocritical and follow your own words: prove that the new wiki is better by concentrating on making it better, and let this wiki go off in whatever direction it wants to.


 * You need to also stop attacking this wiki and all wikis hosted by Wikia. If you and anyone else continue doing this, then that will show what kind of a person each of you truly is, and your words of "more dedicated users", "better administrators", "better staff" and "better everything" will be exactly that: empty words that are not backed up by actions and a code of ethics that you can be proud of. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 11:43, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

We saw the staff for who they really were. They broke their own rules and banned us for no reasons at all. The staff are corrupt. we have 2000+ articles more than this wiki and many other users who have checked this wiki and our wiki have decided to stay on our wiki as we are the better wiki. I like you and you are a good editor from what I have seen so I would love it if you stopped wasting your abilities here and came to us. I promise to stop attacking the wiki as well.
