Inferior trains wiki fandom shut down


I got a email from Eeeelevate1234 that the Fandom Edition of Inferior trains wiki had shut down.

Here's what the admins of Fandom said:

Hi there, it has been closed because we aren't interested in hosting wikis with a negative viewpoint.

Fandom is so terrible



Urban dictionary definition of Fandom (Wikia)
"The cockroach motel of wiki hosting; they check in, but they don't check out. They say they'll host your wiki for free, then they plaster your wiki with intrusive advertising, censor your content and deface everything with unsightly, click-baity reskins. When you try to leave, you find that you cannot due to search engine duplicate content penalties."

- Urban Dictionary's top definition on Fandom (Wikia)

Controversies
Wikia communities have complained of inappropriate advertisements, or advertising in the body text area. There is no easy way for individual communities to switch to conventional paid hosting, as Wikia usually owns the relevant domain names. If a community leaves Wikia for new hosting, the company typically continues to operate the abandoned wiki using its original name and content, adversely affecting the new wiki's search rankings, for advertising revenue.

Domain and skin assimilation
Wikia has sometimes expanded by acquiring an existing wiki's domain name, user lists, and databases, from a founder or co-founder in return for money and stock options. The original wiki is then shut down without consulting its editors or wider community, and the domain redirected to Wikia's version of the project. In the case of the acquisitions of uncyclopedia.org from Jonathan Huang in July 2006, gamewikis.org from Phil Nelson in October 2007, and Memory Alpha from Harry Doddema and Dan Carlson in January 2008, the content was under a non-commercial license.

In June 2008, Wikia adopted a new skin, Monaco, intending to implement it as the default on almost all hosted wikis. Many wiki users felt the choice of skin default should remain their own. The switch went ahead, but some wikis retained Monobook as their default. In September 2008, the Transformers Wiki moved content to their own server, citing the format-altering ads and mandatory changes as reasons for their departure. WikiFur moved likewise in August 2009; the Grand Theft Auto wiki moved in October 2010, the Nethack wiki in November 2010, and the Doom wiki in September 2011.

In May 2009, Wikia removed the ability of individual users to choose a skin other than Monaco or Monobook, claiming a testing burden and relative lack of features. Soon after, Wikia removed the option to set the default skin to Monobook, with the exception of certain large wikis, namely, Uncyclopedia. On May 25, 2018, Monobook was removed entirely from Fandom, and all wikis and users using Monobook were forced to switch to Wikia's default Oasis skin, causing disgruntlement from many users in the community. The company cited technical difficulties related to keeping both skins in compliance with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation.

THE Retirement of the r32 subway cars
The R32 subway cars are now retired due to R179s replacing it.

Abandoned Stations
I figured out why Columbus Avenue station closed. it closed in 1972 due to its proximity to Mt. Vernon station and the expense of converting it to high-level platforms.

Questions
Are railfans really that toxic? I saw a page about them on the Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms Wiki (now closed)--Wonglikestrains (talk) 18:52, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
