Hi Lefty,

I've been a long-time Candy Crush player, having completed >600 levels. I've been browsing this wiki for the last 6 months, and would like to come forward with a proposal.

First, I'd like to express my gratitude to you and the numerous volunteers who have contributed so much to make this wiki such an informative resource for CC players.

This wiki is currently hosted on Wikia. I don't know if you've experienced the same, but over the last few months, Wikia's have been occasionally slow or experienced downtime, leaving the site inaccessible.

In my opinion, Wikia also has quite a bit of semi-intrusive advertising**, including interstitials, animated ads, forced background ads, etc. which have grown over the years as they began to aggressively "monetize" the site. (** I know there's Adblock and I use it at home but I can't install it on my office computer and other machines)

'''I'd like to make an offer: would you be willing to move this wiki from Wikia to my private web hosting? I've been involved with web development for 10+ years and can maintain the wiki, keep the server running, and pay the bills -- all without asking for anything in return'''. This is because I'm a genuine fan of this game.

If you choose to accept my offer, this is what I can provide:

1. I have some premium Candy Crush & Candy Crush Soda domain names (.com / .net) that are excellent for search engine placement. A high quality domain and raised search placement can attract more visitor traffic than ever before.

2. 99%+ uptime

3. I can cut the amount of advertising by at least 50% if not more, and eliminate all intrusive ads

4. We can request a database dump and instantly move all articles / comments / users / etc. directly to my webserver, with minimal disruption

5. A lot of basic details about each level can be filled in automatically, removing the need for hours of manual labor. If you bring me on board, I can help streamline this process so that every time a new episode is released, all of the juicy details about each level will be available right away.

6. And lastly, '''if things don't work out, we can still move back to Wikia later. This is very easy to do.'''

Please let me know what you think.
