Yes, Wikia is a great place and has many things to offer. I am extremely grateful that it exists, as it has created many communities and is a valuable addition to the World Wide Web.

But on the grand scale of Wikia, we are not really that large, and we do not offer features that the great majority of people on the internet would enjoy. We write articles and share information about LEGO builds, which means that only LEGO enthusiasts would actually join a community such as ours. It would probably be better for the growth of this community that we were grouped with only other wikis similar to ours, as we would be viewed mainly by fellow LEGO enthusiasts. The advertisement problem on Wikia still remains (though I realize that is a large part of what allows users to create wikis free-of-charge), and the support team on Brickimedia seems competent.

And we could discuss for a long while the advantages and disadvantages that moving onto another site would cause. But, even though it seems we will be centralizing elsewhere, this Wikia CUUSOO site will still remain here. If we are not satisfied with the move to Brickimedia, we can always return to Wikia, where I assume we will still be welcome. I will still monitor this site even if we do not return. As a prominent member of the LEGO CUUSOO wiki, I want only the best for the community here. So, you can trust that if we realize we made a wrong decision by moving, we will come back.

Thanks for taking the time to advise us on this matter!
