Wikia is over 10 years ago, Fandom I think is only 4-6 years. I forget when the buyout/rebrand happened, I'd have to look it up.

Legacy has things no longer supported. And I think the misconception is that Fandom is chose that, which isn't the case- they choose to no longer use band-aide updates to keep it running.

IMO it's kinda like blaming your hacker friend for not wanting to keep Windows 7 running- when Windows 7 stopped being officially supported by Microsoft as of Jan 2020. I mean the hacker could probably keep it running for a while but eventually there will be nothing they can do.
