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)
:FANDOM is ''not'' a nice place and Wikia has been anything ''but'' accommodating. The migration to the new URL without community consensus, the horrendous site design, Featured Videos fiasco, and intrusive ads are just some of the many valid grievances people have had with the platform. I think, if anything, MisterWoodhouse owes ''us'' an apology for persistently dodging questions and failing to answer them. We have had ''legitimate'' concerns, and yet he addressed absolutely ''none'' of them. What should we apologize for? We were the ones who worked tirelessly in a volunteer capacity to produce content that FANDOM monetized for themselves. Shouldn't they be owing us an apology for being such a jackass to all of us? We are not here to be used; we are volunteers, and we as volunteers have the ability to withdraw our efforts at any time.
:And your impressive threats to have the owner of the site convicted is nothing short of marvelous and empty. Not to mention that you are not even a regular contributor to this site, but have only contributed an [[Forum:Closing down IRC Channel|utterly uninformed forum thread]] and being [[Special:Diff/887219|concerned for our image despite no evidence suggesting that you actually care about the wiki]]. Let's have a look at [[Special:Contribs/MarketingSimmer|your contributions]]. What a dearth of contributions to the wiki! Are you a mole working for FANDOM trying to prevent the wiki's legitimate attempts from migrating? You certainly seem like it, since your only contributions to the wiki have been suspiciously to object to the migration, with no real rationale as to why.
:Why don't you try contacting the owner of the site rather than threatening legal action? I'm sure you are aware that legal threats actually ''worsen'' the situation rather than help it. We are here as a community working at a volunteer capacity; you can leave your legal red tape locked up in your attorney's office where it belongs, and come here without your hubris. Do us a favor and cut it with your witch-hunt.
