That would be me. It seems I haven't done enough research on wikia policies. It is then for the best that we haven't reached to any kind of agreement as I would have made a huge blunder.
As for moving the wikia, I don't think it is that hard in technical terms - entire page xml database can be lifted without much trouble and setting up just requires some background work (at least someone already did that in the past). If anything, having a fully controllable wiki engine is much more useful and entertaining. The only question is whether the community needs it and whether Thomas wants a more "official" wiki that the current one on wikia. Due to recent events it's best if we don't push this now in any case.
Edit:
There is also a {{fairuse}} tag for wikia images, which corresponds to the following situation - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fair_use
and can be probably used to post images on wikia and protect them from getting used somewhere else although the whole thing is borderline on wikia policies.
