Forum:Project Tern Vote

As you might know, there is a plan to move this entire wiki out of Wikia and onto our own domain and servers, sometime in late summer 2010. It's called Project Tern, and it will be initiated by Zapwire and Seahorseruler. However, in order to make sure the Masses approve of the move, there has to be a vote over it.

So lay your ballots down and decide the fate of this database! (Please put a reason why or your vote will be removed. All questions about Project Tern and/or the vote go on the talk.)

Just to remind you all

 * There will be no legal issues.
 * Links shall be updated - we might even get you a big CPW ad on the moving week
 * We still will be a wiki about CP fanon
 * Retcons and story editing fix everything

 * NO! NO! NO! NO! I can't stress this enough, WE CAN'T MOVE! We have heaps of articles and related links across the database to Wikia and Wikipedia alike, we have an army of staff, continuity, and convenience! Oh, the convenience of being able to breeze into a wikia and start editing randomly, with your own username and password instead of going through the hassle of logging in. We must not move. Period.--Sir Kwiksilver of TARDIS- Haud secundus chances, EGO sum ut typus of vir.. 08:13, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Some articles depend on Wikia. 10:34, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Doesn't that mean changing the whole idea of this? Then we're not a wiki, are we? -- Eternal Magma    Complaints ahoy!  12:51, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

*Like I said on the forum: "I don't like the sound of "getting rid of Wikia" but I do want that COPPA to annoy some other place.". Akbaboy I have a ban hammer and I am not afraid to use it. Hiya? 13:55, June 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Who cares? If the wiki is here, nothing new. If the wiki is there, so we get a few advantages. As long as the wiki exists, it's fine. Plus, a lot of users ignore the COPPA.--Austin8310 - HIYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAAA!  18:01, June 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * I was reading the forum and came across one of Kwik's osts. Some of our articles depend on Wikia for continuity, like the Wikia Catastrophe, and basically anything related to the Fourth Wall and BoF. If we move out, the connection won't exactly be there anymore.

 * No, we won't be sued. Also, if the move doesn't happen in August, it will in December. --Zapwire (talk/blog/edits) 14:16, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't you mean September? <font color="#FF0000">Dancing <font color="#B22222">Penguin  14:49, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, the move I said would be in august, but if we can't make it in august, late december: that's vacation time for most.


 * I already pledged my support to the Diaspora. Besides, they promised me sweepingwers, FTP access, and more... you should read some of my talk pages for that. With us becoming independent, we could restructure our government to a better method without the Staff breathing down our necks because of "drama". Seahorse and friends state that most features (excluding the Monaco skin) could make the switch without a problem, and Wikia has to comply with us moving. Go ahead and ask them some more. Lastly, we can retroactive continuity the Wikia Castastrophe. What about the error being the site moving off from the Staff? Virus could be attempting to disrupt the move by taking all of Wikia down with us. -- † TurtleShroom™!

 * COPPA cripples our growth. We can't get sued either: fair use. Since Sea is helping us, I think we can get you some big ads on CPW when we move. --Zapwire (talk/blog/edits) 10:10, June 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Every company, person and country we have parodied would have every right to sue us. We used them without permission. --<font face="Chiller" color ="FFBA00"><span title="My page. No touchie!">ZE SHEEP! (<span title="IT'S A WEEGEE! RUN!">That sheep is staring at me ) 10:17, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Then explain why they haven't sued us NOW? A parody, under the US law, requires no permission from the author of the parodee whatsoever.

 * I Thik he thinks that because we're onwikia and COPPA helps us not get sued. However, by US law, parodies are protected by the law. In other countries it may not be (I didn't do much research) but the guys would have to track us down to sue us, and that would be too much trouble for them.

 * This site doesn't follow US law. One of my many "contacts" found that out. The reason we haven't been sued, is we have loads of Wikia lawyers to find clever loopholes for us. --<font face="Chiller" color ="FFBA00"><span title="My page. No touchie!">ZE SHEEP!

 * Why would laywers sue us anyways? They likely don't care. --Zapwire (talk/blog/edits) 19:25, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't mind it being moved outside of Wikia, it would be a good move for our differences and discrepancies between CPW and CPFW, but I'm afraid it won't work out seeing as a lot of the stuff on this wiki relies on Wikia. And EternalMagma, wikis exists out of Wikia. --Tigernose Talk 17:52, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Where else did Wikipedia come from?

 * That's why editing and extensions exist. Most Wikia extensions are open source, so most can be used, but a lot require a complete rewrite to use, mainly Monaco --Zapwire (talk/blog/edits) 19:25, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
