This is very similar to what I had propossed to you guys before, but there is a problem.

  1. We can't redirect a Wikia site to the Infosphere. Wikia will not let us, and the only way to do this would be for you guys to come to us.

Considering that you guys joining us would be free and easier (you wouldn't need to ask for donation), and I have found that Quantcast has statistics showing we gain more readers than you guys do, I highly recommend you re-consider my proposal earlier this year. Thanks. Joeyaa 01:37, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Doing what is easier is not necessarily what is best in the long run. I have tried to personally contact the top of the Wikia company, and since the Homestar Runner was capable of coming out of the Wikia society and sprung off as its own wiki, I find it hard to believe that this is impossible. All it requires is the support by the Wikia's Futurama wiki's community.
I fail to see your argument with "free" and "don't have to ask for donation". What is wrong with that? People want to donate to us, and that is just another way of expressing their deep support for the project and what we are doing at large. We are not desperate, we are just providing an easy method for our supporters to show us their support. --SvipTalk 01:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
On the concept of statistics, your own site claims to have 15000 unique monthly visitors, we have 21000. Quantcast is like Alexa biased to the fact that futurama.wikia.com has wikia.com in it. --SvipTalk 01:44, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
