[edit] Welcome

Welcome, TurtleShroom, to the Central Wikia!

We are a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual Wikia, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, use the Community Portal or Help Desk. If your wiki needs something done, leave the details on the Volunteer Portal. If you need assistance from a member of staff, leave a message with one of the Community Team.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialise and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new Wikia, please let us know! Check out new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to and to help reverse spam and vandalism.

Enjoy! Phillip ^(talk) 19:08, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Excuse me, TurtleShroom, I believe you are a bureaucrat on Club Penguin. You see, I joined, and your wonderful user "Yowuza" has blocked me, giving the reason as "I can't let you show your ugly face here". I did nothing. I have no interest in club penguin at all, but I believe this is enough of an offense to get Yowuza himself blocked. And I may join some time in the future. Cobweb (Talk)

[edit] Signature

The image you have placed in your signature is an unnecessary drain on Wikia's servers and thus should be removed. The phrase "Jesus Loves You and Died for You" is potentially offensive to many users and must be removed immediately. Regards, Manticore (talk) 03:19, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Private information

Sorry, but on Forum:Monaco, you revealed that some users were under 13. Wikia's terms of use states that “Wikia sites are not intended for, and may not be used by, children under the age of 13 years old.” As a result, the users you have stated to be 7 or 8 years old can't edit here legally. Also, can you please reframe from giving out other users' private information? Thanks. --Michaeldsuarez ^{(Talk) (Deeds)} 19:47, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Also, "Jesus Loves You and Died for You!!" isn't appropriate here, and I would like you to remove it from your signature since I (and a few others) find it offensive. --Michaeldsuarez ^{(Talk) (Deeds)} 19:55, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I see this has again cropped back up. Please remove it at once. -- Manticore (talk) 00:50, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] MonoBook

Hi there,

I saw one of your comments that you left on the new features page, and you said that your wiki was still using MonoBook. How are you still making MonoBook be the default skin since Wikia has disabled that? I would like to keep using it on my wiki, BiblioClub.

Thanks,

Yeah, Monaco really does stink. It slows my computer down way too much because of Wikia's fancy new features. I say that they can keep Monaco and only update it, but still bring back Monobook. That's why I'm moving my wiki to another free wiki-hosting place that uses Semantic MediaWiki (better than what Wikia's default is) and still uses MonoBook. A lot of Wikia users use this other place. It's called Referata and is at http://www.referata.com. There are even ways to pay to have your own URL. Anyways, I already tried the places you are talking about, but Wikia already disabled all of that. --JewntansOath ^{My talk page / My contributions / Send me an email} 22:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC) PS: I like your signature, but too bad people are giving you trouble about it. I believe that Jesus died for me, too.

Hey, I'm a friend of JewntansOath's and I wanted to tell you that I like your signature, and I believe in Jesus too. Pleased to meet you and God bless. ZEM talk to me! 12:31, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~

Turtleshroom? Wait, I know you! 6k has mentioned you a few times. Anyway, I guess I'm really not the only person having trouble with the shout box.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 23:20, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
