User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Wiki domains will be changing from wikia.com to fandom.com in early 2019/@comment-33420196-20180817204956/@comment-4177770-20180817211715


 * "Fandom is the name of the company that made your wiki." - I could have sworn it's still Wikia, Inc.


 * "Do they not have the right to change the URL?" - Their home, their rules. But perhaps "right" is not the correct word here.


 * "...then make your own website!" - Which is what people have done for a while, going to other wiki farms or self hosting themselves.


 * "Try to make a website like Fandom...with all of their features, workers, emails, articles, blogs, full chat..." - Therein lies the problem: many users are prisoners of what the wiki farm offers. The issue comes when the negative weights in against the positive.


 * "why do you go there everyday?" - People don't need any reasons to check wikis. For example, I like to edit on wikis whenever I land on any that has typos regardless of knowing or liking what the wiki covers.


 * "We're all fans of our favorite wikis, whether we are fans of the subject of not!" - I am not a fan of any wikis in which I edit in. They're just a tool. An information repository that's in a single place.


 * "your wiki may not be an area for fans, but the majority of wikis are." - Now this is something I'd like to see data on. If that happened the case, it'd be great if there could be some "opt out" toggle.


 * "Fandom has put years into this website..." - I think the word you're looking for is "money". If they were honest about the issue, I'm sure we could come up with ways to fund it.
