So I wanted the old wiki page on Wikia deleted, and I received this e-mail:

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been happy on Wikia. We try to balance the advertising needs with the preferences of visitors, and am sorry we haven't been able to do that for you.
When a wiki forks or a community moves, we do not close the Wikia version. All wikis on Wikia are under a Creative Common or similar free license, which both allows for forks, and allows Wikia to continue to host the content after that fork. The wiki can remain available for anyone who might want to use it now or in the future.
I realize that this is a small wiki on a niche topic, and so less likely to be revived, but we will still keep the wiki in place for readers.
I wish you all the best in your new home,
Regards,

------ SO! Anyone want to contribute to the destruction by deleting every page except the home page? http://zombiepodcast.wikia.com/wiki
I've been deleting it myself, and have like 40 pages to go, so I might not need help.
