User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Wiki domains will be changing from wikia.com to fandom.com in early 2019/@comment-24361909-20180826115842

Great move, but not because I believe that FANDOM is a better name than Wikia was, but just because it should and had to come someday as the site's name is different.

I wasn't satisfied that Wikia was gonna turn into something like FANDOM. Fandom, written in other way then, was kind of something different, something like a hub with latest news from the world of fans.

But as the global mark is growing, such a move has to come. I can't wait to see my wiki with its domain changed. Will it turn out successful? Hopefully we'll see soon.
