"So how does one run it on our own? Wetpaint want to make a profit from us right?..so how do we do that? Pay a small yearly fee?...how much.. $20 per wiki?...would this help? How many wikis would this include?...200,000 ? Would this cover the cost to pay someone for maintence and for fixing up the wikis on a "need to" basis? I can't see any other way of helping financially.
I agree that the irrelevant content be deleted, or put a message on it to say that this has been put on hold until further notice and that no more ideas will be considered right now.
I liked someone's idea to link platform wikis to wetpaints super ones that are the same. That only requires a link..right?
What about a page of links to all wikis, that could be added somewhere to the new platform as advertisement of a "now you have read all you need to know," so "come and partipate" in your favourite television show (or what ever). They could have a special name for this page ...I don't know...Link it with Wetpaint..or something...or is that too stupid?..just say.."

"I like the overall positive thinking and attitude on this thread, as being indeed most of what we have left these days.

However, as much as I regret saying this, I can't agree with Moderator_Kevin when he says that "there's nothing stopping us from running this show on our own."
As a matter of fact, without access to the central servers or the core systems or whatever (please bare with me on these lame terms of mine), the truth is that not even our most savvy, experienced and dedicated members here (like Crying_Dove for example) can keep the wikis operational on satisfactory levels and fix all the bugs that keep popping up. Jeremy seems to be all we have left on this. Let's hope Wetpaint doesn't lay him off as well (fingers crossed).

At this rate and the way things stand right now, there's no telling when we'll eventually be struck with devastating and crippling bugs that may stop the wikis from working altogether or preventing us from accessing them (as it has even happened before more than once), and none of us simple community members will be able to do absolutely anything whatsoever about it until Wetpaint decides to look into it, if at all...

In essence, right now, even this whole wiki system's most basic functionality rests in the hands of people who don't invest on it anymore. I fear this is inevitably a dying format, and it's only a matter of time...

However, like I said, we must try to be happy and positive in the meantime. We'll all live longer.

"I remember anchor links, I have a funny story about that. Erin used that on on of the sites I was on with her, she showed me how to do it, and I started using it. Then, I got a message from Erin, I think, asking me to remove them.

I understood once she explained that people we're asking questions, and honestly Wetpaint was intended for WYSIWYG only, so anchor workaround is good, but confusing for people who don't understand HTML at all."

"I myself couldn't afford to pay the amount of $23 per month for any wiki. The suggestion of $20 a year for a free wiki seems reasonable to me, and affordable for most. 20 times...how many wikis are there anyway? say, as suggested 200,000 is $400,000..sorry, not good at maths...seems reasonable to me to keep this side of things alive...even if its half that."
