1) It's easy to figure out what the MBs are. Takes about 30 seconds or less. It's absurd to think people are not intelligent enough to figure that out, especially since our wiki has plenty of information on it. This wiki is for learning about the MBs. What this would mean is that people might actually use it that way.

3) No, it's not. Where are you getting your information, exactly? Currently the CUUSOO Wiki is doing better than Brickipedia, and we already have a friendly relationship with them.

4) Again, not true. Meiko is no more significant a person on Brickimedia at this time than the other Board members, like Codyn329, SirComputer, Berrybrick and Brickfilmnut. Where do you get this kind of information, seriously? >.> And how do you purport to know how something is viewed by Wikia, a company you do not work for?

We are not moving, deciding to move, or forcing others to move. Also, affiliating with a forked site is not a policy violation. Your extreme cynicism about Wikia is simply an assumption, and not based on any facts.

All that said, this thread is not supposed to be for debates. We know your opinion, and it shall be taken into account. 1) I'll concede that.

3) Largest force does not equal driving force.

4) I said that to Wikia, it is, because they have only blocked him and not many (if any) of his associates. They would not select him out of the masses if they didn't think he were a major player.

They state that they can block for any given reason. This partnership with the competitor is as close a valid one as they can get that is outside policy. You do realize that Meiko is blocked because he published a script on his test wiki that blocks ads, right? The block over brickimedia was rescinded. Obi, you need to learn -- Wikia doesn't care. They'll be opposed to this idea regardless of how illogical it is. They have a grudge against Meiko. They see Brickimedia as a threat. They want nothing to do with either of them, and to them, Brickimedia = Meiko. Like I told Kepler's, this isn't a riddle. Brickimedia is the competition to the three Wikia wikis mentioned: Wikia Brickipedia, the Wikia CUUSOO wiki, and the Wikia LEGO Stories wiki. Brickimedia is not a threat and Wikia staff does not have a grudge against Meiko. He's just a very minor business competitor that takes a few dollars of their paycheck and thousands of views from a few wikis. Just a minor threat to their jobs. Now, if you got paid $50 an hour, I bet you would too. Losing $3 an hour is a bit too much to lose from your paycheck, isn't it?
