I'm going to try and see what happens if we try to change what SmashWikia is (e.g. a parody wiki or a fanon wiki). Then anyone who wants the real info will come here while the other guys can go there. Please comment [http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Changing_this_wiki%27s_direction here].

Apparently. Isn't that the reason why we moved here in the first place? --[[User:Spenstar|Spenstar]] ([[User talk:Spenstar|talk]]) 17:13, 28 March 2011 (EDT)
:The move was due to several factors, though Wikia's oppression and forcing unwanted things upon its Wikis can be cited as the primary reason. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:15, 28 March 2011 (EDT)
