	** Merging with Fandom would be (to my opinion) the worst idea. Fandom would become the owner of the wiki's content and nothing could not be undone after that. You cannot leave Fandom for another provider (even if you wanted to) and they won't want to close the wiki. That's like a dictatorship and you may be even fired from your "own" wiki for any reason. I disagree with this very idea, even if we had to wait several years until the wiki's return. -- [[User:LIMAFOX76\|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76\|talk]]) 05:25, 22 August 2019 (PDT)		** Merging with Fandom would be (to my opinion) the worst idea.

	** Hello Oldag! Thank you for bringing this proposal up. I've considered Fandom (The Artist Previously Known as Wikia) previously, even when the "Wiki" was down, and find that despite some cosmetic changes they haven't changed much since my [http://web.archive.org/web/20100708074050/http://blog.battlestarwiki.org/2008/01/27/battlestar-wiki-buy-out-not-gonna-happen/ initial decision to reject their buy-out offer] nearly a decade ago. As for any issues with losing information, Shane L. at [http://www.battlestarwikiclone.org Battlestar Wiki Clone] has done a wonderful job in "forking" a clone of the Wiki for fandom (lowercase "f") despite Fandom.com and the temporary service interruption of this website. Therefore, I don't see this really being much of an issue, and what transpired during the "Father-Creator's" absence is more than I could have even hoped for. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support\|Donate]]</sup> 09:26, 22 August 2019 (PDT)		** Hello Oldag!

			***I hope you didn't take it is something disrespectful. In the end, a wiki is only as good as those who edit it. I have served as an administrator on the Civilization video game fandom site for about a year and a half. I personally have had no problems with the site, though I understand some of the arguments arguing differently. I feel bad that you have to pay for this site with your own personal money. Hopefully the ads cover it better this time. Thanks for all the hard work. [[User:Oldag07\|Oldag07]] ([[User talk:Oldag07\|talk]]) 09:36, 23 September 2019 (PDT)

	* '''Merge this site with Fandom''' I am pretty sure you all will shoot this down, but it has to be said. I believe I speak for the silent majority. I was sad when this site went down a few years ago. I know Fandom isn't perfect, but it wouldn't it have been far better that this information had a few ads to go with it, than not having any of this hard work shared with the world. I get the noble argument that the owner of this site to keep this site private. This wiki was a collaborative effort and so it wouldn't be right to take money for something that wasn't his to give. Why doesn't the owner take the money to pay for his previous expenses and the rest of the site vote over what charity to give the rest of the money to?
