Well here's my conspiracy theory for the day: According to the latest Anime Wiki ranking on Wikia, we are now number 4 instead of number 3. Either one piece wiki has improved dramatically recently or Wikia dropped our ranking as punishment!

With that out of the way, here's something serious, while lurking on Narutopedia to see what those guys are upto, I saw some links to sites that give wiki traffic info. Here's our stats,

http://www.quantcast.com/wikia.com/traffic/sites?sort=reach-desc&country=US

Basically, we are 11th on ranking for the US in terms of traffic. Now, you would think that that would give our plans to move weight with Wikia staff and get them to take our complaints seriously but its actually the opposite. I think Wikia knows very well that we are too big to move.

Unless whoever we go to is stable and big enough to handle the traffic we bring, the move will be bad for us and at this point, I can't really tell which is the lesser of two evils. Moving or staying and making the new skin work for us without losing content. In addition, as I have said a few times before, a "move" will only work if we can leave an empty house behind us or better it, a burnt house.

Somehow, I don't think Wikia will let us take a torch to Bleach.wikia without a fight. I.e. I am thinking whichever admin is seen with the lit flame will be stripped and banned by Wikia staff faster then we could figure out what's happening. Something to keep in mind.
