Yeah, that's actually highly unlikely.

How high a site ranks is based on a super secret Google algorithm - it takes into account many factors to rank the site, like relevancy, history, content etc. Any site that tries to unfairly manipulate their pages in order to rank higher would be blacklisted from Google completely if they got caught. Wikia aint ever gonna knowingly risk that. Ever. What wikia is shit hot at is Search Engine Optimization, something that is allowed. This is why even shitty pages on other wikias on the network rank higher than more reputable, accurate sites.

I don't mind having the RP board, but it doesn't matter at this point as this whole discussion is going nowhere now. Everyone has made their points. Just take a poll to decide the outcome or have an administrator make the call and end this drama.
