MODERATORS
They're just now finding out? I guess better late than never.
I was just trying to remember when the old school RuneScape community got off fandom.
Fandom wouldn’t let them nuke the wiki because they claimed to own the IP that was the crowdsourced information that filled it.
Fuck fandom, i refuse to use them.
They prevent any large wiki they hosted from closing because those have good SEO. They wanted the traffic for the ad revenue, even if all mods and writers got off the platform and replaced with shitty ones.
It really is the reddit migration before reddit migration.
As another example, the Path of Exile community moved off onto their own community-run wiki domain, but the Fandom variant (which is woefully out of date) continues to be one of the top results when searching for a PoE wiki page.
In some regards that's inevitable, but it clearly shows what Fandom's priorities are.
