| Result: The Sonic News Network will not have an independent website at this time. |

Hello there. I'm sure there has been some sort of forum about moving Sonic News Network into an individual website. And I'm pretty sure that we haven't gotten to be our own website, but instead a wiki. Now, I'm here to revamp that idea; I believe we should expand to an individual website.. We should first give out our own opinions about this. But, let's be a little bit aware; since if we move to a website, won't all of the pages be deleted? If so, we need to be a little bit aware about this. I want to here from your opinions about this. BlueSpeeder (talk) 21:42, August 16, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose. It would take a lot of planning and copying & pasting, and even if we did manage to create domain outside of Wikia, if we need to pay money and rely on our own knowledge of C: Computer language programming (among other types of coding, obviously) to maintain it (which we'll obviously need to do), who among us would be both willing to pay for the site and have the finances to spare, and who among us is truly skilled and knowledgeable about programming to know how to build a website to the specifications we'd require if we want to make ourselves stand out from other Sonic websites (which, last I checked, we do)? I myself have taking some programming when I was in game designing classes in High School, but I can assure you that I most certainly wouldn't have enough knowledge to help do much to maintain our own site domain (since all I was there for, prgramming wise, was making some easy/simple computer games from scratch) -- and I can also assure you that computer programming is no easy thing to learn and memorize. I just don't see how we can make this happen without too much trouble for everyone, so unless someone can come up with an ingenious plan then I'm going to have to keep saying that we should stay with Wikia.

The current articles on this site would remain here if we moved the Sonic News Network, anyways. We would have to get our name out there all over again. It's a tedious process that isn't worth the time or effort, and will not benefit the Sonic News Network in any form. --Bullet Francisco (talk) Contributions Editcount 22:28, August 16, 2013 (UTC)
Well, it's not impossible, but it would take a while. MobiusWalker (talk) 16:14, August 19, 2013 (UTC) Actually, the Sonic News Network is another Sonic fanbase spread across the web on sites like YouTube, Twitter, and FaceBook. We share the same name as this fanbase, but we're totally separate at this point. Moving away from Wikia would cause us to lose our distinction as the "Sonic News Network Wikia". -- Shadowunleashed13 (talk) 19:21, August 19, 2013 (UTC) I'll be honest, I can see potential with Sonic News Network to be able being self-sufficient Media Wiki site without Wikia format, similar way like Super Mario Wiki and Transformers Wiki, but if only we can grow on larger community and have even more organized activity here. Unfortunately right now, we have also too many projects and other things in our hands to deal with, so the sudden moving may not be the bright idea. There are also some of other issues we have to take care first and some of them have been mentioned here before. But I'm pretty sure, this can be put to discretion of far future, when it is more better time for us. - MarioSonic (talk) 21:22, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
TL;DR: Wikia is awesome and we'd be foolish to diverge from their generous hosting. --Bullet Francisco (talk) Contributions Editcount 22:19, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
