I'm really not especially worried about competition, considering what I'm seeing there now, but I won't accept that there's no way to direct people to this wiki without tripping Wikia's alarms or resorting to corsairing. We used to have a News section on the front page until we deleted for rarely actually having anything to report, but perhaps we could write a news blurb, totally impartial and from no particular point of view, stating simply that much of the old community has moved. It probably won't get that much attention, but returning users looking for answers as to where everyone went might look there. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 21:23, 26 October 2010 (EDT) | I'm really not especially worried about competition, considering what I'm seeing there now, but I won't accept that there's no way to direct people to this wiki without tripping Wikia's alarms or resorting to corsairing.

:Yes, we should limit to giving small, subtle hints about the move. Something that Wikia won't catch on easily and freak out about, but something that can help users find the correct wiki. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:36, 27 October 2010 (EDT) | |||
==Google bomb== | |||
I have an unorthodox suggestion. I'm thinking about the possibility of [[wikipedia:Google bomb|Google bombing]] the new Pikipedia, and leave the old Wikia one behind. But I wouldn't possibly do it without asking for opinions first. To those that aren't quite sure what Google bombing is... basically, the pages that are most commonly called/accessed will be shown on top in Google's search results. If we Google bomb the new Pikipedia (which will basically access it several times, or something), it'll show up in first place rather than the old one.
