User blog comment:Klow/We are leaving/@comment-8-20110711232258

Hi, looks like there's some clarification needed :)

Klow and Bramblepath, I think your message needs a rewrite. It comes across as rather misleading I'm afraid. You say "we are moving", when actually you are moving, and the people in this community need to decide whether to move with you or to remain on this wiki. As you say, this wiki will remain open and available for those who stay or for a future community who might choose to edit here.

The license change you suggest is not possible. You can copy the content, but one of the conditions of the license is that the content must remain under the CC-by-sa license. Adding to the current content would be a "derivative work" and would also have to be under the CC-by-sa

The other requirement is that the original authors are fully attributed. We do not share our User Database (see our privacy policy) so there is not a full and direct correlation between all users on this wiki and all on any forked wiki. Links to the articles on this site, or to the original contributors here, would fully attribute the content.

On the name change: this wiki can be renamed, but that's a decision for those who decide to stay. If they want to keep the name, that's up to them. But if they are OK with the change, that's fine :)

Maggosh, we'll certainly try to persuade people to stay, while respecting their right to edit elsewhere. I believe there are very good reasons to stay with Wikia, in terms of stability, features, resources, staffing... I've seen forks fail because their new homes didn't have that. But most of all I want people to be aware that there is a choice. You do not have to edit on Wikia, and you do not have to move with the fork. This wiki will survive and has a good future ahead of it - I hope those reading here will be a part of it.

Everyone: f you have any questions, please let me know. I hope you'll stay with us on Wikia.
