But, we respect your right to fork. It's part of why we chose the CC-by-SA license in the first place.

What we do not respect, is the damage you have done to a wiki you have chosen to leave. You have the right to fork, you do not have the right to "kill this wiki" or "firebomb" it on your way out.

I see that The King of the Monsters openly admits that the changes were to benefit the new site, vandalizing this wiki to try to stop people who choose to stay here from having an intact site to use. This is not acceptable.

So where do we go from here?

My main message is that this wiki will remain here and open for anyone who chooses to stay. Yes, there will probably need to be new admins, but they will not be a "puppet government", they will just be people who have decided to stay on Wikia and continue to build and grow the wiki they love.

The first thing that's needed is to prevent more damage. Because of that, I am going to remove admin rights from the current admins. If any of you are genuinely intending to stay on this wiki, please let me know and we can talk about replacing rights.

The next thing is to fix the damage that's already been done. I will start work on that today. I hope to get things back in place quickly so that those who want to stay have their wiki back!

There is no inevitable decline here. We have had many wikis that have recovered after a split, Fallout and GTA are the first that come to mind. It is possible to continue and grow this wiki, despite the new competition. I will do all I can to help that happen, and I'm looking forward to working with those of you who decide to stay at Wikia.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Nobody wants to stay here though. Quite a lot of stuff was done to this site that made some (if not a lot of) people leave and I doubt anyone else will want to stay after seeing they have a better fancy new site to enjoy. Also, GTA and Fallout are way more popular and therefore had a better chance to survive the split whereas Godzilla, while still pretty popular, is nowhere near the same level as those two.
