Grand Theft Wiki is now considering a move, and were deadly serious about it. We have been discussing it a lot (on our secret off-wiki staff discussion forum) and have asked the community what they think. If we move, we will most likley be self hosting ourselves.

Grand Theft Wiki used to be independent. When we moved to Wikia in 2007, our manager had a big discussion with Angela Beesley (Wikia Founder):

Our Manager (Gboyers): As for Wikia adverts, I understand that this is central to your business and so I wouldn't prevent that. As on WoWWiki, the advertisements aren't brazenly plastered around every pixel of space. Although I never run adverts on my own sites (something about ethics...), so long as they don't detract from the experience of using the Wiki, then I have no qualms with their use.

ANGELA: Hopefully you won't find them obtrusive. The new skins were designed to keep the ads away from the content, especially for logged in users where there is just one small ad in the top corner.

This is clear proof of a breach of trust.
