:It's not that they haven't received any donations since April 2019, it's that the page hasn't been updated yet. If the platform was running out of money they wouldn't have continued developing the platform, yet they have with a MediaWiki version upgrade (yes, they upgraded to 1.33 earlier this month without any downtime). Your claim is bogus at best, misinformative at worst, and is based on outdated information. You can see [https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Finance here] that their finances grew by almost $500, so your evidence was cherry-picked. Wikia is by no means the best place for this wiki; it is, in fact, the worst place for any wiki given its horrendous track record and the severe lack of autonomy. To start a wiki on Wikia is to sell yourself into this ecosystem and agree to allow Wikia to step on you mercilessly without your consent. No idiot is going to subject themselves to that.

As this conversation has been going on for a very long time with nothing to show for it. I think the following actions need to take place: |
|||
#[https://thesimswiki.com thesimswiki.com at Miraheze] should be closed down as an unauthorized copy of The Sims Wikia from FANDOM. |
|||
#All sites [https://ipinfo.io/172.110.6.174 linked here] should be closed down. These all link to the unauthorized Miraheze copy and only serve to threaten the existence of The Sims Wiki. The owner of these sites thought they were smart by scrubbing their details but I can guarantee if I contact the service provider then the person who owns these sites will have no recourse and may even run the risk of becoming a convicted felon. The same goes for the owner of the .com site known as Benjamin Chandler, of who I assume is also the owner of the other three sites. |

FANDOM is a nice place and Wikia has done its upmost to accommodate its communities. Conversations such as these are not constructive and are detrimental to The Sims Wiki as a whole. This only stands to create a rift in the community and I think we all owe MisterWoodhouse an apology for the way we treated him.[[User:MarketingSimmer|MarketingSimmer]] ([[User talk:MarketingSimmer|talk]]) 20:14, February 9, 2020 (UTC) |
