Blog:Information I have received as to why this wiki had to be removed from Wikia

I have recently received a communication from Wikia as to why they removed the Wikia version of this wiki from their service.

I was informed they did so only for reasons of actual policy, as they have an official stance all wikis must NOT have, as an explicit goal, any mission which seeks to denigrate, demean, or otherwise be overly negative to any fandom.

As the purpose of this wiki is to point out only the negative aspects of video games and related media, it thus fell afoul of their standards and was thus removed because of this policy against wikis with a default goal of negativity being the focus.

No other considerations save this policy were involved, and despite any commentary, gloating, or any other speech meant to anger anyone, the claims of "hate speech", anyone being "Nazis", or other hateful commentary by certain parties who desired this wiki's original Wikia fork shut down because it offended their ideological beliefs was a factor in their decision to remove the wiki from the Wikia service.

That said, I advise anyone who founded or was a member of any similar wiki that was reported or threatened with being reported to do the following:

1. Relocate here. Wikia will remove any wiki whose content is based on being overly negative on any topic in accordance with their policies.

2. DO NOT engage anyone who is threatening to report your Wikia wikis or has reported them, it is merely an attempt to goad people into further anger. Simply relocate to this service and reestablish your wiki and it's community here. DO NOT give these parties what they desire and lash out.

That said, I look forward to helping the Crappy Games Wiki and it's related wikis proper here on Miraheze.
