*{{Support}} I am ready for change. IT sounds fun. But you should have proposed this BEFORE  Bungie's biggest game ever came out :) But it's all good. LETS DO THIS!!![[User:Vegerot|<span style="color:midnightblue; font-weight:bold">Vegerot</span>]] ([[User talk:Vegerot|<span style="color:grey">talk</span>]]) 23:26, October 7, 2010 (UTC)!!!!!!!!

*{{Support}} - OK.

*{{Support}} - Seems like its in the community's best interests. I'm in favour, so long as we can keep infoboxes, they're great. -[[User:TheLostJedi|'''<span style="color:maroon">TheLostJedi</span>''']] 01:23, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

*<strike>{{Support}} - I support the move, if only for the skin. I've never been much of a contributor (especially in the last year or so), but what I'm seeing out of wikia staff (not capitalized intentionally) is horrible. [[User:Turtleman579|<span style="color:green;">Turtleman579</span>]] 03:50, October 11, 2010 (UTC)</strike>

*{{Neutral}} Now, while some people have good reasons as to why we shouldn't move, if things don't work out on [http://www.halopedian.com/Main_Page halopedian.com] we can always move back.

*<s>{{Neutral}} - As per Dragonclaws... {{User:General5 7/sig}}</s>

*{{Neutral}} - There's a real split here. As Dragonclaws said, Halopedia is known for being a wikia. Familiarity and all that. Also, it's nice to have a single account over all Wikia sites. Of course, an independant site could be nice. More control over every aspect of the wiki. A tighter community is always nice to have too. I think I could be satisfied either way. --<span style="color:mediumpurple;">[[User:DKong|DKong]] ^{[[User_talk:DKong|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/DKong|Cont]]}</span> 02:45, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

*{{Neutral}} — Like Dragonclaws said, the ''Halo'' community knows us for our current domain. While a switch to a new domain such as Halopedian.com would be a smart thing to do when the release schedule wasn't so hectic...this is one retarded time to do it. ''Halo: Reach'' was just released, ''The Fall of Reach'' comics are in full swing, and the ''Forerunner Trilogy'' is due out by the end of the year. A simple button press that transfers all of our content from one wiki to the other doesn't necessarily mean a simple transition. While i'm definitely up for a domain switch if the Wikia Staffers stand their ground on the issue and don't intend to hear out the dozens of high-traffic wikis, i'm still open to see the new skin and the time they've put into it. Who knows...maybe the majority who haven't had a chance to use it will fall in love with it. Until the community as a whole can experience the new changes to Wikia and formulate an opinion, this proposal is extremely premature. {{User:CommanderTony/Sig|October 3rd, 2010}}

*{{Oppose}}- Time and again this conversation has come up when Wiki proposed a change. Last time it came up when the points/rewards/social system of wiki was planned, and look, we embraced it so much most of you want to take it with you. Infact, most of you seem more upset about losing whatever things you've acquired here. And the complaints about Ads makes my physically sick. We complain about them hosting ads on basically a massive server they give us, free of charge. We complain about them, just wanting to be able to pay to host our articles. There's other things we'd lose with domain changes. Reliable service, most our articles, i imagine there'd be quite a hassle with GNU-stuffelz as well as losing most of our traffic. Is it really worth basically losing everything 'just so we dont have to look at ads and deal with new formats'. Just adapt and overcome as we always have.

*{{Oppose}} How i see it, is that you guys failed in the past and all of a sudden after wikia picked up your pieces, held us the community on a reliable site that wont shut down due to money issues. that you suddenly make the whole community go back towards your old wiki? Why should we all its unfair! your reasons are total rubbish. sorry you have lost my vote. wikia has not screwed up for anytime soon and the community is much stronger here. moving to another domain will lose hundreds of good wiki editors. we gain nothing and fall back a few years making it back upto what it is today. Why Fix something when there is nothing wrong with it?[[User talk:Theironpaw|theironpaw]] 03:31, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

*{{Oppose}} From what I understand here, this seems to be the case of someone "abandoning his child", and 20 years in the future, the child becomes rich and famous, and the terrible parent who abandoned his child, upon seeing the child's new-found social status, wants the child back, for the sake of the privileges he can greedily enjoy. '''''No.''''' I am fine with Halopedia as it is. There isn't a need to merge, whether we gain or lose anything. That's my point of view. Flame me with you want, but I will remain firm.       

*{{Oppose}} - I would have to agree with both Forerunner and FatalSnipe too. {{User:Sub-71/Sig}} 10:20, 5 October, 2010 (UTC)

*{{Oppose}} - As per Forerunner. Please don't do this. {{EM Sig}}

*{{Oppose}} - Too much hassle over negligible benefits. Wikia has done moderately squint-and-frown-inducing changes over time, and some of them I haven't agreed with, but they haven't done the proverbial baby-murdering spree yet. Having a working single login and Wikia's technical support is a good thing. --''[[User:Wwwwolf|wwwwolf]]'' ([[User talk:Wwwwolf|barks]]/[[Special:Contributions/Wwwwolf|growls]]) 08:51, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

:I would really appreciate it if you (and others) explained why this is "too much hassle". If you read the outlined facts (the impression I'm getting is that you didn't), it makes it clear that the move is actually a very simple process. - [[File:Major.png|20px]] [[User:Nicmavr|<span style="color:DarkGoldenrod; font-weight:bold; font-family:Arial">Nìcmávr</span>]] ^{<span style="color:DarkGoldenrod">(</span>[[User Talk:Nicmavr|<span style="color:DarkGoldenrod; font-weight:bold">Tálk</span>]]<span style="color:DarkGoldenrod">)</span>} 14:08, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
