Here goes:

http://tfwiki.net

One of the best wikis that was ever on wikia. When wikia first started their "We don't give a shit about the opinions of our unpaid workforce," the tfwiki left in disgust. On wikia, they were one of the top few.

Off wikia, they are doing even better. As far as I've seen, they've had drastically less server issues than us, and their system still operates as wikia used to before the mandatory ads within the article space. They've had one big issue where their server master forgot to backup, and they had to recover all their info from google - but they DID recover all of it, and they learned from the disaster in order to make it impossible to happen again. They didn't even have the image-caching error we all had to deal with.

If wikia is determined to ram this down our throats, then it's time for us to leave them in the dust. To be brutally honest, we don't owe them a thing, and it's been demonstrated time and time again that wiki's can not only survive but THRIVE without wikia.
