How to violate licensing 101: End of lesson.
 * 1) Copy something without attribution.

Please tell me how embedding the site in an iframe violates licensing, 70.231.137.127?

Licensing under CC-BY-SA requires citing the license and attribution.

Embedding this wiki both cites the license (it's at the bottom of the page), and attributes the source as you can click the "history" link and get the full list of contributors.

As an admin of a wiki on the Wikia network, I would much rather that someone embed the wiki and thus encourage people to edit it, than create a copy.

By embedding the wiki, rather than copying it, Wikia wins, because traffic still comes to Wikia, and they still get ad-views.

I concede that their may be a clause in the ToU about "methods of access" which may be used against embedding the site in an iframe, but after a brief search, I cannot find anything which applies.

The only thing I can see that might apply is this:
 * Not to forge headers, or manipulate source identifiers or otherwise attempt to disguise the origin of any content made available via the Service;

But this does not apply, because the origin of the content is not disguised, as the Wikia logo and other branding is clearly visible.
