User blog comment:Craiglpalmer/Wikia is now Fandom powered by Wikia/@comment-46.28.53.238-20160927112640

In the 5 years that I have been playing around in Wikia, I have learned this much about the site:

The wheels behind the curtain don't care what members and visitors think. By the time a "change" is announced with a staff blog, the decisions have already been made and nothing members and visitors say about it will change anything. Is it absurd to attempt to appropriate the generic word "Fandom" for the website's name? Absolutely. Do they care? Not at all.

Imagine what Wikia's band of restless techies and decision makers would have done to "Wikipedia" if they could have gotten their tiny fingers on it: Wikipedia -> Encyclowiki -> Wikiwiki -> etc. etc. etc.
