Amazing that someone said that we were the best, I feel honored. Exactly, the Wikia stuff on top is not loved by us either, yet we make do. Like I said before, we are right now in a better situation than 99% of other Wikias.

I would love to go independent but I have a few fears. First and foremost, I am not sure if we would still be fully protected by fair use. Secondly, I don't want to become elitist, I want anybody to have the right to fix mistakes I have made which are bound to exist. Think of all the contributions brought by people that didn't remain here, but stayed here long enough to improve the Wikia's style. A lot of the things on the Walkthrough page were first suggested by other users. Third, I don't want to pay for something like this and I doubt anybody else here wishes to either; it is a hobby but not something we wish to invest a cut of our paycheck into. Fourth, the workload would be tremendous due to all the copyrighted templates and whatnot. Fifth, Wikia may be terrible in looks, but it also is more known by people and thus is more likely to draw new contributors which is important for this community. Trust me, I have debated this issue in the past, I am still unsure if the move would be for the best. You can't just think about yourself for such things, otherwise editing would be a lot easier than reading!

Trust me, I know how annoying it is. Want to search for something Thief related? You are bound to get more Nu Thief than anything these days. With Thief I am lucky they used subtitles, even for the first game. Yeah, I never liked rehashes or remakes. We enjoyed the original, why change the original to something else? It just feels like a great excuse - "We didn't know where to go with the story, so we went back to the beginning and made it different!". I would rather sequel upon sequel, possibly with some terrible ones in the mix, but each moving forward and being part of the lore.
