 * The inability of the OP to give appropriate, tailored answers to questions and feedback shows, as usual, how much of a train wreck WIKIA has become (let's stop calling it fandom please; this is... just no). If you can't handle doing PR well then let PR people do their jobs. Or support? Or someone? Is there even a someone?

Now that we’re all one company I just want to take a moment to acknowledge this. I’ve had this conversation a bit with some Gamepedia users, and I want to make sure it gets said here on Central too.

When we announced that Fandom and Curse were coming together, the deal had been signed but was not yet final. There’s a TON that had to be done with a lot of care between signing and close. Given the nature of such a large deal in progress, most of our public communications needed to be vetted by all parties&mdash;not just Fandom and Curse&mdash;leading to a set of pre-approved responses that were designed ahead of time with your questions in mind.

That’s not the way I or anyone on staff wants to communicate, and it won't be how we communicate 99.9% of the time. It was an awkward way to reply to comments, so I understand why anyone was frustrated by it.
