Anybody remember DonoPik? Slightly strange, some clichéd ideas on his page, stuff like that . . . he thanked PikFan and I for giving him a few tips and "creating this wiki". . . . Well, I noticed that he started a wiki, on Wikia, called the "Pikmin-O-Pedia." Well, it's a bit strange . . . considering that there are already ''two'' wikis dedicated to Pikmin, at least one of which he already knows about. . . . Not only that, they're copied word from word for our pages (or at least, the pages already there; there's only twenty-two. You can see an example at the Onion page over there. Compare it to [[Onions|our]] page. The images are different, but the words are the same. Do you think we should try to shut him down (either by going to his wiki or talking to Wikia staff {perhaps not the brightest idea, as they may have a grudge against NIWA users . . .) or do you think it's too low-key to worry about? It's also a bit humorous in the way he designed it, too; not only is it pretty ugly (which is standard with Wikia), he has an entire page available in the menu about him, labeled "About the Author." What do you guys think? -{{User:Los Plagas/sig}} | Anybody remember DonoPik?

:I think he's going to flop, but it would be better to shun him about this little stunt. The sooner he can go through life understanding that people don't want their hard work stolen (and that nobody likes ''lazy'' rip-offs), the better. I guess I could do it, I still have a Wikia account in good standing, and I'm activeish on Carmageddon Wikia, at least until I move that into an independent domain. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 07:10, 19 November 2013 (EST) | :I think he's going to flop, but it would be better to shun him about this little stunt.

:The copying of Wikia is not the forefront, but I ''do'' believe he did for some reason; I dunno, we discussed it in the Chatroom. And anyway, Wikia ''could'' potentially have a problem with the duplicate wiki, so we do have an excuse on Wikia's side. I do agree it's best to find some way to make him unappealing without resorting to lying about his "crimes," though. -{{User:Los Plagas/sig}} | :The copying of Wikia is not the forefront, but I ''do'' believe he did for some reason; I dunno, we discussed it in the Chatroom.
