Hi everyone,
Firstly, I just want to apologise to you, the readers of the LMW. I've had significant time to reflect on the events of the past few days and now realise that I was foolish in how I acted. The Lost Media Wiki is immensely important to me and as such, I let my emotions get in the way of my professionalism; so, for subjecting you all to my tirade, I am sincerely sorry. This was a rare lapse in temper on my part and I will try my best to ensure that it does not happen again.
Secondly, I just want to stress to everybody that our ongoing feud with Wikia staff (namely BertH and Brandon Rhea) is not doing us any good and has to stop. At this point in time, the best point of action is to try and make lostmediawiki.com the best possible site that it can be, not to make lostmedia.wikia.com the worst possible site that it can be; let's fight this issue with positivity, rather than negativity.
Don't get me wrong, I am still very upset about this whole thing and I still wholeheartedly disagree with Wikia's policies and will continue to protest (through various means) the fact that lostmedia.wikia.com remains active, though taking an aggressive stance with staff members is simply not the way to go about doing that and will ultimately only hinder our efforts.
You may have noticed that I have begun transferring the article list (in lots of 10) across to lostmediawiki.com (though the majority of said articles still need to actually be created). Once I have finished tweaking and importing the full list of articles, I will open the site up for registrations, so that anyone that wishes to assist in copying articles over can begin doing so (after which time I will go through every article one-by-one and touch them up myself to fit with the wiki's new formatting scheme and to improve the contents of the articles in general). Originally, the plan was to open lostmediawiki.com upon the completion of these tasks, but given the current situation, we are being forced to move earlier than planned and this is the best compromise I could come up with.
So, once again, I apologise for my lack of professionalism and maturity in this matter. I felt threatened by what had been said by BertH and lost my cool; I hope you can understand the reasoning behind my actions. Anyway, thanks for all your support guys, it's much appreciated. Be sure to keep an eye on lostmediawiki.com and lostmediawiki.freeforums.net for future updates.
Till next time,
dycaite
