User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/How we're testing the fandom.com domain migration/@comment-30696685-20181010041135

The site I am a bureaucrat, administrator, rollback, and moderator on is 14 years old on January 27. It has been a wiki since day one. Wikia has always accommodated everyone no matter what they choose to create. It has always been a creative website allowing users to explore any genre they want.

“FANDOM” seems to be reversing this. It’s becoming a selective, niche site focused on fanbases of popular Franchises, TV series, movies, people, etc. They promised communities who are not apart of this group would still operate, would still be fine, and would operate as they usually do. I highly doubt this. We will get sidelined eventually.

I’ve been apart of wikia for years on multiple different accounts and it is a shame what “FANDOM” is doing. I hope they see their mistake when testing later this month, and I pray that they will reverse this terrible decision.

I work on future wikia. It has more than 6,000 pages, and has operated for longer than some “FANDOM” users have been alive (January 27, 2005). I also associate with another wiki, the Alternate History Wiki. It has close to or more than 45,000 pages and has operated since January 26, 2005.

All in all, it’s quite sad honestly. I hope this mistake is reversed.
