That is, of course, the case, but that argument also does lose some of its force when you consider that this "subdomain of wikia" is one that wouldn't exist without the efforts of volunteers. Wikia provided the framework, but the editors are what made this site what it is, not Wikia. As such, there is a bit of a sense of ownership, a feeling that it is our site, as after all, it wasn't them who did the work. You have to admit, that's a pretty compelling reason for people to get up-in-arms about this. It's not like Wikia set all this up and we're just puttering around. Wikia doesn't succeed on its own. It succeeds because of its editors, and honestly, the thing that bothers me the most is how there seems to be little or no response from Wikia with regards to the opinions of the community.
