  1. Wikia allowed Keyhole to condense their articles into tables containing the basic information. Welcome to Wikia, they are hypocritical with that. Memory Alpha and Uncyclopedia both used to be independent wikis but then for some reason they went to Wikia (why they chose to give up their freedom, I have no idea), the original wikis were completely nuked, contrary to what Wikia does with forks from Wikia.
  2. There has only been one edit on the wikia since Sannse's rollback (I heard about DC's nuke script, don't do it, they will eventually start banning/desysopping if this goes on and potentially put it for adoption), it doesn't really take much effort to kill it off. Just keep your eye on it and slow down any community growth, people will wisen up and move over. Doing something that causes Wikia to put it up for adoption is a recipe for a potential disaster. @FM, that was always the approach, and there has been negotiations multiple times already, because KHWiki abandoned the wikian community, so they always strayed from the intended path. I often talked about this with DEXIII when he was in charge of Wikia site, and back then, the community absolutely hated KHWiki. Basically, it's easy to fork over a small wiki, like KHUXWiki. A larger wiki takes much more work and effort because you have a big community to manage as well. With a big site, you can't just say "Okay, we are moving now, whoever wants to stay, good luck have fun", because Wikia is a titan and will always win search rankings as long as there is a competing community.
  3. Fighting against Wikia takes work but it's by no means impossible and as painful as it was for KHWiki. They are a titan but do little to actually defend themselves. The key is to keep the wikia site in check, KHWiki made the mistake of abandoning its community that was left behind (which was large), which amde them angry and allowed them to compete. Based on what I see here, there is no community left in the wikia site, which allows the independent wiki's staff to keep any new users joining there in check, while heavily suggesting them to move over. No one is interested in editing a wiki with a dead community. Once the independent site is absolutely superior in everything, the wikia version just dies on its own, no one will bother rising it anymore when everyone links to the independent site. You can't fight wikia by nuking the content, however, they will just bring it back. But because bringing the content back is all they do, they can still be fought against. I wouldn't worry too much.
