They should move with the wiki, then. The wiki will be preserved, but in a different location. Otherwise, they have no one to blame but themselves. -- 03:19, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

When will the wiki be moved? I'd like to know.-- 03:21, January 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * We all would... -- 03:21, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Well others will stay while others will go we should really be fair to those who are staying.--Dark Master


 * [facepalm] What are you talking about? It's not like it's gonna take any actual effort on their part to go to the new location. If they want to continue with this wiki in its current form and function, they can. They just have to type in a different URL. What the devil is the issue here? -- 03:26, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Now, now, no need to be upset. So, when we moved the wiki, we're just..."moving", right? We don't have to recreate the articles or anything again, do we? Sorry I'm a bit slow on things, I haven't really be tuned in lately around the forums. Never was, really.-- 03:29, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

That's right, LadyShiek, everything, including edit histories, will all be copied over in its entirety. It already has been once, but that was a while ago, and it needs to be updated when we finally do the move. -- 03:32, January 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * @Lego: Eh, don't get Kryten started, he'll tell you that you're wrong, and that the real problem is that people confuse "fanon" with "fanfics"... -- 03:34, January 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * @Neumanz: Sounds like a work, huh? But, I can't let that get me down! Moving the wiki means we lose the count of all the edits we have ever made here, huh? We'll start at 0 again, don't we? That's really depressing...I worked so hard to get the numbers of edits I have now...-- 03:38, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * It was my understanding the edit counts will be moved over as well. maggosh 03:38, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I heard that too, but I kind of like the idea of starting anew with the editcount. -- 03:41, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, maybe I worded that wrong. It's basically a database dump, so we don't actually have to do anything ourselves. Porple (if I remember the name right) basically exported the whole dealie to his database, and when we're ready, he'll do it again. Everything will be intact, edit histories, user editcounts, etc. -- 03:50, January 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the "update" Neyumannz was walking about was just that Porple needs to copy over the changes that occurred since he first did it. We're pretty literally just changing the web adress we type in.03:55, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Sounds too good to be true! I'm happy. Then I made my decision, I want to move to the new one. I want to stay professional, but more importantly, I want to stay with my friends because I know you guys are great users and can take care of the wiki when not here to help. Guess what I'm really saying is that I'm more comfortable if I know my friends have my back.-- 03:57, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
