User blog:Panakalego/The Move

Okay, I thought I'd use this blog post to express my opinion on the move:

Pros


 * We'd no longer have to work through the Wikia staff. They're great people, but it's not good when you have to work through someone else to get stuff done if you could be doing it yourself. I've puyt a lot of work into this site, and I would be able to put a lot more into it if I could edit the database (make Bionicle-ish skins, edit interface, etc).


 * We'd no longer have any ads at all, or the notorious "Wikia Spotlight", which lately, has been showing a lot of scantily-dressed female pro wrestlers and cheerleaders. Quite frankly, I believe this to be reason enough, if a child gets involved with female pro wrestlers through us, who would be happy about it?


 * Wikia publicity, but it has not been proven how many find us through wikia, most of the vandals do, I now. But we're first on most searches regarding Bionicle now, so I'm sure we get many visitors through that, too.


 * We'd become much, much closer to the Custom Bionicle wiki.

Cons


 * We'd lose the Wikia blog feature. But nothing would stop us from making our own, in the future.


 * We'd lose the Widgets, probably forever, but they aren't needed for a wiki to work.


 * New site won't be free, but The Oracle can afford it by himslef, alone. We will also install some donate buttons, so that users and visitors who feel like helping keep the wiki online, can.


 * We'd lose the wikia skins, but again, we'd be able to make our own.

I might think of some more later, but that's mainly it, as you might be able to see, I personally don't see why this move would be so great a negative...
