::Now, in all seriosusness. There are two types of wiki's on the internet. Independent ones, and others that are hosted at places like Wikia. I won't delve into wiki philosophy, but many wiki users dislike Wikia, and prefer independent wikis, that are run by fans out of their own pockets. They like communities, where the only advertising we use is to keep ourselves online, not to make profit.
::Wikitroid and Metroid Wiki are going to have to coexist. This doesn't mean we have to be best friends, as the philosophy of independent wikis is quite against Wikia, but we don't have to be childish. I know of plenty of cases between independent and Wikia wikis where there is fighting, inter-wiki vandalism, and often all out war. We don't want that with Wikitroid ChozoBoy. Yes, we are competitors, or rivals if you will, but we're civil. We won't tolerate our members doing anything disrespectful to Wikitroid simply out of wiki pride, and we won't tolerate direct copying of material from Wikitroid. What we seek is simply for our two wikis to exist, and to be competing, but to leave each other alone. Let's compete through content quality, not by vandalism as so many have done before us. We only hope, that you are kind enough to return this favor. {{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 10:42, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
