Anyway, I personally like Wikia better than Wiki, because I believe Wikia shows that a Wikipedia is a larger community of head-strong people. And that Wiki just means that it is a small, not-so-good community. And not that the Wikis with the name, 'Blah Blah Wiki' have a bad community, thats just what i believe. ITA. And not just head-strong, but snobby which Wikipedians foster for their own egoistic purposes. It's still a fan-made infobase subject to personal opinion and often providing un-verefied data making it totally unreliable (no matter what the editors think) for legitimate resource purposes. I've contributed to both infobases and prefer Wikia because it IS smaller with greater emphasis on details, flexibility to add colorful visuals, interesting formats and a real chance to talk to people like people, not "experts." As a fan, I have visited both and consider both equally valid when it comes to info gathering.

Ah so. Could this be what's prompting Wikia Inc. to go the social-media platform route? It is an interesting niche to fill - info AND socializing. And despite the complaints, it will probably be going in that direction. Why? It already is. Like any product, it really is true that if you don't like it, don't use it.

Now I get it.
